An Observational Study on the Safety and Outcomes of MUSE Stem Cell Therapy in Participants With Traumatic Brain Injury Receiving International Clinical Treatment
Healing Hope International
Summary
This prospective observational study evaluates the safety profile and patient-reported outcomes associated with MUSE (Multilineage-differentiating Stress-Enduring) stem cell therapy in individuals aged 6 to 75 with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants independently elect to receive MUSE cell treatment through international clinical programs, and this study aims to capture real-world evidence on the potential therapeutic effects and risks of this emerging regenerative approach. The study does not administer any intervention. Instead, it follows participants who have received, or plan to receive, MUSE cell infusions outside the United States. Over a 12-month follow-up period, data will be collected on neurological functioning, quality of life, activities of daily living, and any reported adverse events or complications. Information will be gathered through remote interviews, structured digital surveys, and review of medical documentation when available. This research is sponsored by Healing Hope International and is intended to contribute to the ethical and responsible advancement of novel cell-based therapies by generating real-world evidence that may guide future clinical trial development and inform patient care practices.
Description
This observational study is designed to systematically evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential neurological outcomes associated with MUSE (Multilineage-differentiating Stress-Enduring) stem cell therapy in individuals with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) who independently obtain treatment through international clinical programs. MUSE cells are a distinct subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells characterized by stress resilience, spontaneous triploblastic differentiation, and the capacity to home to sites of tissue injury. Preclinical research suggests that MUSE cells may contrib…

Interventions
- BiologicalMUSE Stem Cell Therapy
MUSE (Multilineage-differentiating Stress-Enduring) stem cell therapy refers to the use of a naturally occurring subpopulation of mesenchymal lineage cells characterized by stress tolerance, expression of SSEA-3, and the capacity to differentiate into multiple cell types. Preclinical studies have shown that MUSE cells can migrate to sites of tissue injury, including the central nervous system, and may contribute to tissue repair through paracrine and regenerative mechanisms. In this observational study, participants independently obtain MUSE stem cell therapy at licensed treatment facilities outside the United States as part of their personal medical care. The study team does not provide, administer, manufacture, or direct the therapy.
