The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of injecting certain cells produced in bone marrow called mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) into salivary glands. The main question it aims to answer is whether injection of MSCs into salivary glands results in any improvement in dry mouth. Participants will: * have bone marrow collected using a needle * undergo a salivary gland ultrasound * complete questionnaires * receive an injection of the bone marrow cells into a salivary gland
This single-center phase I dose-escalation with expansion cohort, open label, non-randomized, non-placebo controlled, single group assignment study will assess the safety and tolerability of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for treatment of xerostomia, focusing on xerostomia with inflammatory etiology (e.g., Sjögren's disease \[SjD\], graft-versus-host disease \[GVHD\]). An initial cohort of subjects (n=6) will receive a unilateral injection of MSCs at dose level 0. If unilateral treatment is tolerated, a dose escalation cohort (n=8-18) will receive bilateral injection of MSCs. Dose escalation…
