About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Injection for Diabetic Foot

The purpose of this study is to determine whether umbilical cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells of treatment for diabetic foot is safe and effective in the management of diabetic foot ischemia, the therapeutic effect of stem cells is caused by improving blood circulation in ischemic limb which would in turn promote ulcer healing, prevent amputation of limb and relieve the Sevier pain of ischemia.

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic foot were enrolled and randomized to either transplanted group or control group. Patients in transplanted group received the stem cells treatment,Patients in control group received the standard treatment. After culture in vitro, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells should go through safety evaluation which include culture and check of pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, eumycete and viruses) of the cells medium and karyotype analysis of the mesenchymal stem cells. Only the safe cells were harvested and transplanted by multiple intramuscular injections into the impaired lower limbs. Follow-up index include: efficacy (pain,ulcer healing rate, lower limb amputation rate and ,ankle-brachial index,magnetic resonance angiography,electromyogram) and safety (infection of the injection site, fever, and tumour generation).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and Standard Therapy in people with Diabetic Foot and Critical Limb Ischemia, run by Qingdao University 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 11 inclusion and 9 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 13 Oct 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. 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 Jianxia Hu, MD (86-0532-82911676, qdyxyhjx@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Angiographic evaluation of angiogenesis at ischemic limb (time frame: 6 months). 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 13 Oct 2010.
