About this study

Official title: Preliminary Investigation of the Effect of Human Adipose Tissue-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy(Romberg's Disease)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous transplantation of adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patient with progressive hemifacial atrophy.

Read the detailed description

Adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) represent an attractive and ethical cell source for stem cell therapy.

With the recent demonstration of MSC homing properties, intramuscular aplications of MSCs to cell-damaged diseases have increased.

In a human clinical trial, five patients who had suffered a progressive hemifacial atrophy( Romberg's disease) were intramuscular administered autologous hAdMSCs (1×10e7 cells/500ul) with autologous microlipoinjection one time.

What participants receive

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

  • Autologous Adipose Tissue derived MSCs TransplantationProcedure or surgery

    Intramuscular infusion of Autologous Adipose Tissue derived MSCs with autologous microlipoinjection. Dose: 1x10e7 cells/500ul/lipoinjection 20ml

What is being measured

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

  1. The volume change of fatty layer

    To evaluate the volume change of fatty layer using 3D camera.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical lab tests

    To assess the expression change of growth factors after tissue biopsy.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Fat absorption rate

    To estimate the fat absorption rate using 3D computerized tomography and 3D camera.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Autologous Adipose Tissue derived MSCs Transplantation in people with Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy and Romberg's Disease, run by R-Bio at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2019. 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 South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 volume change of fatty layer (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT01309061, 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 5 Jun 2019.
