A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Dose Escalation Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Infusion of Human Placenta-Derived Cells (PDA001) for the Treatment of Crohn's Disease

To assess the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) PDA001 infused every two weeks for up
to 5 total infusions in subjects with Crohn's disease who are refractory to one or more
standard Crohn's disease therapies.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study to study 3
cohorts of subjects with Crohn's Disease including (but not limited to) those with colonic
involvement. Each cohort (n = 9) will include PDA001 treated subjects (n = 6) as well as
placebo (vehicle control) treated subjects (n = 3). Cohorts will be enrolled sequentially,
beginning with the lowest dose cohort (1/4 unit PDA001) and progressing until the maximum
tolerated dose of IV PDA001 is determined.

Inclusion Criteria:

- • Males and females 18 - 75 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
document.

- Minimum weight of subject is 40 kg at screening.

- Subject must have inflammatory Crohn's Disease (CD) diagnosed at least 6 months
but no greater than 15 years prior to treatment with Investigational Product
(IP).

- Subject must have confirmation of ongoing CD by ileocolonoscopy at screening.

- Subject must have a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score ≥ 220 and ≤ 450
as assessed between Visit 1 and Visit 2.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject has any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric
illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study including but
not limited to

- Liver Function Tests Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine aminotransferase
(ALT) > 2.5 x the upper limit of normal at screening.

- Serum creatinine concentration > 2.0 mg/dl at screening. Alkaline phosphatase >
2.5 x the upper limit of normal at screening.

- Bilirubin level > 2 mg/dL (unless subject has known Gilbert's disease).

- Pregnant or lactating females.

- Morbidly obese subjects Body Mass Index (BMI) > 35 at screening).

- Subject has untreated chronic infection including Clostridium difficile toxin positive
at screening or treatment of any infection with antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to
dosing with IP (other than a treated urinary tract infection or drained perianal
abscess). Note: Stable doses of antibiotics used to treat Crohn's Disease are allowed.

- Subject has organic heart disease (eg, congestive heart failure), clinically
significant arrhythmia or clinically significant abnormal findings on
Electrocardiograms (ECG).

- Subject has a history of other malignancies within 5 years (except basal cell
carcinoma of the skin that is surgically cured, remote history of cancer now
considered cured or positive Pap smear with subsequent negative follow up).

- Subject has had a stricture of the bowel requiring hospitalization within 182 days
prior to treatment with IP.

- Subject has had bowel surgery other than perianal (for example, fistulotomy, seton
placement, or abscess drainage) or previous abscess drainage within 182 days prior to
treatment with IP.

- Subject has had any surgery within 28 days prior to treatment with IP.

- Subject has a colostomy, ileostomy or ileal pouch anal anastomosis.

- Subject has received an investigational agent —an agent or device not approved by FDA
for marketed use in any indication—within 90 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is
longer) prior to treatment with investigational product.

- Subject has received previous cell therapy.

- Subject is expecting to have elective surgery at any time between Visit 1 (screening)
and Visit 7 (end of induction phase).

- Subject has concurrent diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.

- Subjects with protein C or S deficiency.

- Subjects with prior history of thrombophlebitis or other pathological arterial or
venous thrombosis.
