Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Methodology: Randomized, double-blind, AB/BA cross-over study with a washout period of 12 weeks. Treatment Duration: 8 weeks per group General Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of multiple intravenous infusions of allogeneic HB-adMSCs by improving signs and symptoms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis in this subject population. Number of Subjects: 66 (6 subjects in Cohort 1 and 60 subjects in Cohort 2) Indication: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
