Summary

This trial will provide CAP-1002 to subjects who completed the HOPE-2 trial and will explore the safety and efficacy of eight intravenous administrations of CAP-1002, each separated by three months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for those who were in the HOPE-2 study, finished a year of follow-up, and can give consent. They must have good veins for infusions and be able to stick to the trial plan. People with planned major surgery, recent investigational drug use, substance abuse issues, or severe respiratory problems can't join.
What is being tested?
The safety and effectiveness of CAP-1002 are being tested through sixteen intravenous doses given every three months over two years. Participants will have regular check-ups before each dose to monitor their response to the treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't detailed here but could relate to infusion reactions due to CAP-1002's components like DMSO or bovine products; participants with known hypersensitivity to these are excluded.
