Trial design

Randomised, protrans (active investigational product; allogeneic wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells) administered by intravenous infusion versus placebo (placebo infusion). dose and schedule not specified in the ctis data.-controlled, adaptive Phase IV|Phase I/II trial across 2 sites in Sweden.
