About this study

Official title: Treatment of of Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease With Mesenchymal Stromal Cells. A Phase III Randomized Open Label Multi-center Study in Southern China.

Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (cGvHD) is a potentially lethal disorder. A variety of second line immunosuppressive agents have been investigated but no optimal treatment has emerged. There is therefore a need for novel treatment strategies. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exhibit immunomodulatory properties and a recent pilot study suggests a response rate of 70% in steroid- refractory patients. In the present randomized study the efficacy and safety of MSC treatment will be further studied in patients with cGvHD.

What participants receive

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

  • Mesenchymal Stromal CellsBiological

    Also called MSC

    Mesenchymal stem cell(MSC). Patients with newly diagnosed cGvHD: prednisone 1mg/kg + cyclosporine or tacrolimus and MSC 2×1,000,000 MSC/kg, IV twice a week for the first two weeks and weekly for the following two weeks(6 doses totally).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in people with Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease, run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital 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 7 inclusion and 4 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 14 Nov 2014. 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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Xin Du, Prof. (+86 02083827812-62122, miyadu@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of patients responding to treatment of cGvHD with MSC (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT02291770, which also lists 2 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 14 Nov 2014.
