Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis | Procedure: Autologous Adipose-Tissue Derived Stem Cells | Phase 1 |
This pilot clinical trial is design to see the safety and possible efficiency of ADSCs treatment in a ALS patient. one subjects will be treated (n=1). The patient will receive brain transplantation of ADSCs and combines intravenous infusion ADSCs 4 times. Subjects will be assessed by adverse effects and functional outcomes of clinical: PI max , PE max,and Haloscale respiration, ALS functional rating scale (ALS-FRS) are analyzed at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months 9 months and 12 months.
Brain MRI scans will be obtained before and after the treatment. Long term follow-up will be performed at 1, 6 , and 12months for safety reasons. Brain CT for check operation safety before and after brain implantation.

Compassionate Treatment
ALS patients are received Intravenous and intracerebral implantation of Autologous Adipose-Tissue Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs), Rehabilitation.
|
Procedure: Autologous Adipose-Tissue Derived Stem Cells
Patient will receive Intravenous of approximately 100-400 million Autologous Adipose-Tissue Derived Stem Cells twice , before brain implantation, and will receive Intravenous of approximately 100-400 million Autologous Adipose-Tissue Derived Stem Cells twice, after brain implantation . Other Name: ADSCs |
- changes of ALS-FRS score [ Time Frame: Baseline-Day 28-Day 44-Day 60-6 months-9months-12months ]using ALS-FRS score to assess patient's function after transplantation.
- changes of respiratory function [ Time Frame: Baseline-Day 28-Day 44-Day 60-6 mouths-9mouths-12mouths ]check the changes of respiratory functions after intervention .
- changes of neurologic function [ Time Frame: Baseline-Day 28-Day 44-Day 60-6 mouths-9mouths-12mouths ]check any changes of neurologic functions after intervention .
- changes of brain structure [ Time Frame: Baseline-Day 60- 6 mounths-12 mounths ]check changes of MRI after intervention

Compassionate Treatment
The number of participants for a person.
The patients (Guo XX) of 28% of lung function assessment (normal lung function was greater than 80%), the daily life of motor function score was 17 points (normal function score of 40 points).
