About this study

Official title: Autologous Bone Marrow Stromal Cell and Endothelial Progenitor Cell Transplantation in Patients With Ischemic Stroke: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of autologous transplantation of ex vivo expanded bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs)and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) for treatment of patients with ischemic stroke.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multi-center, single-blind, randomized, parallel controlled trail. Patients with acute cerebral infarcts within the middle cerebral arterial territory and with severe neurological deficits will be enrolled and randomly allocated into 3 groups: autologous BMSCs transplantation group, autologous EPCs transplantation group and Placebo control group. Randomization codes were established by the study statistician and were revealed only to the stem cell laboratory technician responsible for separating the cells into aliquots or preparing the placebo material. All patients will undergo a Bone Marrow aspiration procedure at 7 days after symptom onset. BMSCs and EPCs will be expanded ex vivo and then intravenously infused into own body, respectively. The control group will not receive cell therapy. Observe will followed for up to 1 year after the onset. Neurological score, neuroimaging, mortality of any cause, side effects, and new-onset comorbidities will be monitored and compared between each groups.

Being tested
Autologous BMSCs transplantation, Autologous EPCs transplantation, IV infusion of placebo

What participants receive

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

  • Autologous BMSCs transplantationGenetic

    Also called Autologous Bone marrow stromal cells transplantation, Autologous Mesenchymal stem cells transplantation

    The first transplantation: 2.5 million cells per kg autologous BMSCs suspended in 100 ml saline plus 5% autologous serum are infused intravenously approximately 4 weeks after bone marrow aspiration.

    The second transplantation: the same amount of cells are again transplanted approximately 1 weeks after initial boosting.

  • Autologous EPCs transplantationGenetic

    Also called Autologous endothelial progenitor cells transplantation

    The first transplantation: 2.5 million cells per kg autologous EPCs suspended in 100 ml saline plus 5% autologous serum are infused intravenously approximately 4 weeks after bone marrow aspiration.

    The second transplantation: the same amount of cells are again transplanted approximately 1 weeks after initial boosting.

  • IV infusion of placeboGenetic

    Also called Placebo control group

    IV infusion of saline plus 5% autologous serum.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Autologous BMSCs transplantation and Autologous EPCs transplantation in people with Stroke and Infarction, Middle Cerebral Artery, run by Southern 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2021. 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?

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?

Number of adverse events after infusion of BMSCs or EPCs. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01468064, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 2 Apr 2021.
