IND 019680 - HBPCOVID01
This is an Intermediate- Size Patient Population Expanded Access Protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HB-adMSCs for the treatment of patients with Post-COVID-19 Syndrome. The investigational product will be an add-on treatment to the standard of care.
IND 027966 - HBPD05
This is an Intermediate Size Patient Population Expanded Access IND to Evaluate the Safety of autologous HB-adMSCs for the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |

Post COVID-19 Syndrome Parkinson Disease | Biological: HB-adMSCs |
IND 019680 - HBPCOVID01
The dose to use for this Intermediate- Size Patient Population Expanded Access Protocol is 200 million HB-adMSCs, administered through intravenous infusion only, with a treatment duration of 14 weeks, infusion rate 4-5ml/min and total volume of 250 ml Sodium chloride 0.9%. A total of 5 administrations and a dosing interval of two weeks for the first two HB-adMSCs administrations and one month after that.
IND 027966 - HBPD05
This expanded access program was developed to include ten patients between 76 and 95 y/o diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The expanded access program will last for 26 weeks, during which time the eligible patients will receive six intravenous infusions of autologous Hope Biosciences adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Each investigational product administration will be monitored for 2 hours at the following intervals: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. During the infusion and the follow-up visit, volunteers will be evaluated for the incidence of any serious or non-serious adverse event occurrences.
