GARM-W Trial Summary
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of delivering autologous cellular stromal vascular fraction (cSVF) to improve quality of life and functional health.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 40-90 who feel weaker and less able to exercise over the last six months, can walk a certain distance in six minutes, and are willing to consent. It's not for those with uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent drug or alcohol abuse, very short life expectancy, severe neurodegenerative diseases that affect walking tests, poor mental function scores on MMSE, certain cancers within 2 years (except some skin lesions), abnormal blood values or serious co-morbidities.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if injecting patients' own processed fat tissue cells back into their bloodstream can improve quality of life and health in aging. Fat tissue is taken from the patient's body using a special technique called Microcannula harvest adipose stromal tissues. The cells are then isolated with an enzyme digestion system before being returned via IV.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the fat tissue removal site such as pain or bruising; complications related to IV infusion like infection; allergic reactions to enzymes used during cell processing; and general risks associated with any invasive procedure.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: LipoaspirationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Closed microcannula harvesting of small volume of subdermal adipose tissue, including the stromal cellular and stromal tissue using sterile, disposable, microcannula system
Group II: Isolation & Concentration of cSVFExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Isolation and Concentration of cellular stromal vascular fraction (cSVF) using a Healeon Medical CentriCyte 1000 centrifuge, incubator and shaker plate with sterile Liberase enzyme (Roche Medical) per manufacturer protocols
Group III: Delivery cSVF via IntravenousExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
cSVF from Arm 2 is suspended in a 500cc of sterile Normal Saline and deployed through 150 micron in-line filtration and intravenous route over 30-60 minute time frame.
