Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Low DoseEXPERIMENTALSubjects in the low dose arm will receive a single administration of either 6x10\^6 cells (n=8) or a placebo injection (n=2). Each subject will receive six paraspinal intramuscular injections (three injections per side) of either CELZ-201-DDT or placebo into the lumbar musculature under direct ultrasound guidance.
Medium DoseEXPERIMENTALSubjects in the medium dose arm will receive a single administration of either 30x10\^6 cells (n=8) or a placebo injection (n=2). Each subject will receive six paraspinal intramuscular injections (three injections per side) of either CELZ-201-DDT or placebo into the lumbar musculature under direct ultrasound guidance.
High DoseEXPERIMENTALSubjects in the high dose arm will receive a single administration of either 60x10\^6 cells (n=8) or a placebo injection (n=2). Each subject will receive six paraspinal intramuscular injections (three injections per side) of either CELZ-201-DDT or placebo into the lumbar musculature under direct ultrasound guidance.
Expanded High DoseEXPERIMENTALSubjects in the expanded high dose arm will receive a single administration of either 120x10\^6 cells (n=10) or a placebo injection (n=5). Each subject will receive six paraspinal intramuscular injections (three injections per side) of either CELZ-201-DDT or placebo into the lumbar musculature under direct ultrasound guidance.
