Trial summary

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to be effective to prevent alveolar growth arrest in experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The aim is to treat the extremely premature infant with severe BPD to establish whether intratracheal instillation of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (ucMSCs) is safe and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intratracheal Instillation of Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a Rescue Treatment for Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to be effective to prevent alveolar growth arrest in experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The aim is to treat the extremely premature infant with severe BPD to establish whether intratracheal instillation of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (ucMSCs) is safe and effective as a rescue treatment for severe BPD.

What participants receive

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

  • ucMSCsBiological

    the ucMSCs suspension(3× 106 cells per kg of the patient's weight) will be instilled through a 6 French end-hole catheter inserted into the infant's endotracheal tube

  • Normal salineOther

    the same amount of ucMSCs suspension will be instilled through a 6 French end-hole catheter inserted into the infant's endotracheal tube

What is being measured

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

  1. The relations between the cytokine concentrations in the BAL fluid and PAP.

    To examine the relations between the cytokine concentrations in the BAL fluid and PAP.

    Measured: Up to 20 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The severity score of BPD ranging from 0 to 6 on the serial chest radiographs

    The severity score of BPD ranging from 0 to 6 on the serial chest radiographs will be graded by a single radiologist, without knowledge of the infant's identity or clinical course, using the roentgenographic severity scoring system.

    Measured: 6 months to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ucMSCs and Normal saline in people with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and Extremely Premature Infants, run by China Medical University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 23 Sep 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 Taiwan. 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 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.

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 relations between the cytokine concentrations in the BAL fluid and PAP. (time frame: Up to 20 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Sep 2010.
