About this study

Cell sheet technique possess the properties of conserving the ECM, rich molecules and retaining cell vitality, and will promote the capacity of cell adhesion and proliferation. The stem cell based cell sheet therapy has been utilized in many fields and scored the satisfactory results. Periodontitis is a chronic disease which causes the destruction of the periodontal tissue and leads to the teeth loss in the end. The routine cell-based therapy to the periodontitis was confronted with many difficulties. In the investigators previous preclinical research, +the investigators fabricated periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) pellets and cell sheet fragment and applied them in the periodontal defect area for tissue regeneration and periodontitis treatment. And the investigators carried out a comprehensive study of the PDLSC allograft. The host responses and implanted cell fates were recorded. After the scientific investigation of the preclinical study, the investigators designed the preliminary clinical trial of PDLSC cell sheet for the chronic periodontitis therapy in the aims to test the PDLSC fates and explore one ideal transplantation mode.

Read the detailed description

our protocol mainly includes following steps:

  1. select periodontitis patients :all patients were given the comprehensive examination on the oral condition including clinical examination, radiological evaluation and the immune system tests
  2. select healthy donor teeth for PDLSC isolation and expansion.
  3. fabricate the cell sheet and prepare the PDLSC cell sheet pellets and cell sheet fragment.
  4. patients given the routine mechanical and chemical treatment for 4 weeks were randomized divided into 4 groups according to the visit time: i) the cell sheet fragment plus bio-ss transplantation; ii) the cell sheet pellets plus bioss transplantation; iii) the bio-ss transplantation and iv) the control.
  5. all the operations were carried out as the routine GBR procedures.
  6. the clinical, radiological examination and the changes of the immune system at the point of 1 day before and 4weeks, 12weeks, 24weeks and one year after the intervention were recorded and compared.

What participants receive

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

  • cell sheet pellets and cell sheet fragmentBiological

    Also called cell sheet or pellet implantation

    the denuded root surface area was calculated to determine the size of the transplanted cell sheet in the of proportion of the 2cm X 2cm cell sheet to the 1cm X 1cm denuded area

standard of careSham comparatorIn the first step, the patient was periodontally treated until the inflammation was eliminated through control of bacterial biofilm and oral hygiene for about 6 months. Then the rigid fixed appliances were placed on the diseased teeth, reverse beveled open-flap surgery was performed in the buccal and palatal maxillary sides of the periodontitis-caught teeth to allow granulation tissue debridement and proper root preparation. The roots were completely scaled, and 17%EDTA was applied for 2 minutes to demineralize the root surfaces and bone wall defects, the flap was sutured.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Plaque Index was mean score of each surface. Probing depth and Attachment loss are distance from the base of the sulcus and the cemento-enamel junction to the free gingival margin. bone loss

    Measured: Sept. 2009

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing cell sheet pellets and cell sheet fragment in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 1 site in China.

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 6 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 9 Mar 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Plaque Index was mean score of each surface. Probing depth and Attachment loss are distance from the base of the sulcus and the cemento-enamel junction to the free gingival margin. bone loss (time frame: Sept. 2009). 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 NCT01082822, 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 9 Mar 2010.
