MNV-BM-PLC is a personalized cell therapy based on autologous patient-derived Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) enriched with mitochondria isolated from healthy placenta obtained from donors during C-section. Healthy mitochondria are employed, ex-vivo, to enrich the patient's CD34+ peripheral blood cells, followed by infusion of the mitochondrial enriched cells back to the patient. This therapeutic process of mitochondrial augmentation provides the patient with healthy mitochondria carrying non-mutated/deleted mtDNA that can supplement mitochondrial functionality in the patient's cells.
The study objectives are to evaluate the safety of a single intravenous (IV) infusion of autologous CD34+ cells enriched with placenta-derived allogeneic mitochondria in participant with primary mitochondrial disease associated with mitochondrial DNA mutations or deletions.~6 participants aged from 4 to 18 years old on the day of screening visit with primary mitochondrial disease associated with mitochondrial DNA mutations or deletions will be enrolled.
