Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Mesenchymal stromal cell treatment Biological: Mesenchymal stromal cells

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in disease activity according to National Institute of Health criteria [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in disease activity as measured by histological examination [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ]
  2. Change in self-assessed disease activity and quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ]
  3. Safety [ Time Frame: 21 months ]
    Frequency of complications, infections and relapse

  4. Freedom from steroids at 1 year after MSC treatment [ Time Frame: 1 year after finishing treatment ]
    Proportion of patients free from corticosteroids at 1 year after finishing MSC treatment.
