About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial in Treating Patients With Graft-Versus-Host Disease by the Infusion of Expanded in-Vitro Allogenic Mesenchymal Stem Cell

Clinical trial based on the use of a new therapeutic strategy (MSC infusion) for the treatment of patients who have developed a GVHD refractory to the usual therapeutic measures after undergoing an allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, single dose study of allogenic mesenchymal stem cell (1-2 x 10^6 MSC/Kg recipient´s bodyweight).

MSC will be infused, by a central venous catheter, to patients diagnosed with GVHD refractory to first-line or subsequent treatment.

All patients will receive the same treatment. MSC suspension will be obtained from the bone marrow aspiration of a family donor and expanded in-vitro in a specific culture medium with autologous donor´s serum and with no animal-derived products.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)Procedure or surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the safety/efficacy of expanded in-vitro allogenic mesenchymal stem cell infusion in patients developing a GVHD refractory to the usual therapeutic measures after undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

  2. Efficacy will be evaluated in terms of GVHD response.

  3. Safety will be evaluated in terms of incidence of adverse events and toxicities related to the administration of MSC.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluation of infectious complications after MSC infusion.

  2. Analyse the influence of MSC infusion on the posttransplant relapse risk of the base disease.

  3. Study the influence of MSC infusion on DFS and OS.

  4. Determine MSC grafted into the bone marrow (or in other organs).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in people with Graft-vs-Host Disease (GVHD), run by University of Salamanca at 4 sites in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mercedes Comas, CRA (+(034)915545476 ext. 29, mercedes.comas@logitest.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the safety/efficacy of expanded in-vitro allogenic mesenchymal stem cell infusion in patients developing a GVHD refractory to the usual therapeutic measures after undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00447460, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Mar 2007.
