Arm Description

Umbilical cord blood therapy

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Monitoring adverse events

Secondary Outcome Measures

Changes in standardized gross motor function
GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) as a standardized measurement tool for assessing Gross Motor Function consisting of sub-scales; lying & rolling, sitting, crawling & kneeling, standing, walking, running & jumping (range: 0~100 , Higher value means better gross motor function.)
Changes in motor performance
GMPM (Gross Motor Performance Measure) as a standardized measurement tool for assessing quality of movement regarding 3 properties of 5 ones; alignment, coordination, dissociated movement, stability, and weight shift (range: 0~100, Higher value means better motor quality.)
Changes in cognitive neurodevelopmental outcome
Korean version of Bayley Scale of Infant Development-II Mental Scales (Higher value means better cognitive function: raw score 0 - worst, 178 - best.)
Changes in motor neurodevelopmental outcome
Korean version of Bayley Scale of Infant Development-II Motor Scales (Higher value means better motor function: raw score 0 - worst, 112 - best)
Changes in functional performance in daily activities
Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) for assessing functional performance in daily activities in children (All values are adjusted and higher value means better functional performance, 0 - worst, 100 - best.)
Changes in brain glucose metabolism
FDG (fludeoxyglucose)-PET (positron emission tomography)
Changes in brain white matter integrity
diffusion tensor imaging

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This open label trial is conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic umbilical cord blood (UCB) therapy for patients with acquired brain injury.
Detailed Description
Acquired brain injury (ABI) means brain damage caused by events after birth, rather than as part of a genetic or congenital disorders. Those with ABI suffer from cognitive, physical, or behavioral impairments limiting their activity and participation in society. ABI results from traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury due to internal or external source (e.g. infection, brain tumor, hypoxia). Preclinical studies regarding cell therapy in animal models of ABI showed improvements of neurological dysfunction. UCB possess various stem or progenitor cells and is known to secrete neurotrophic factors to repair injured brain. This clinical research aims to determine the safety and efficacy of allogeneic UCB for patients with ABI.
