About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Peripheral Mobilized Mononuclear Cell-based Therapy in Patients With Diabetic Painful Neuropathy

To investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous peripheral blood stem cell based therapy in patients with diabetic painful neuropathy.

Read the detailed description

Diabetic painful neuropathy a prevalent, disabling disorder. Currently, the only effective treatments are glucose control and pain management. Diabetic neuropathy is characterized by reduction of vascularity in peripheral nerves and deficiency in neurotrophic and angiogenic factors. Recent studies have shown that bone marrow (BM)-derived stem or progenitor cells have favorable effects on the repair of cardiovascular diseases. Since these BM-derived stem or progenitor cells contain various angiogenic and neurotrophic factors, these cells have been attempted for treating experimental diabetic neuropathy, and turned out to be effective for reversing various manifestations of experimental diabetic neuropathy.

However, stem-cell therapy was not proven in human study. Therefore, we will investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous peripheral blood stem cell injection in diabetic neuropathy.

Being tested
Normal saline, stem-cell

What participants receive

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

  • Normal salineBiological

    Normal saline is injected in one leg of patient.

  • stem-cellBiological

    Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is injected into subcutaneous for three days prior to the blood collection (D-3 to D-1). Peripheral mononuclear stem-cell is collected by Cobe spectra apheresis system in D-day.

    The stem-cell (mononuclear cell) is injected into the muscle in the other side leg of patient.

Study groups in NCT02315235
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
controlActive comparatorThe operator inject normal saline(control) to thirty site of the other side leg of active comparator. The volume of one site injection is 0.5 ml. The depth of needle injection would be 1.5cm.
Receives: Biological: Normal saline
stem cell (mononuclear cell)Active comparatorThe stem cell (mononuclear cell) is injected to thirty site of one side leg in operating room after general anesthesia. The volume of one site injection is 0.5 to 1.0 ml. The depth of needle injection would be 1.5cm.
Receives: Biological: stem-cell

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in pain for a week after the procedure

    The pain scale was calculate by Numeric rating scale (NRS). We observe a change in NRS pain scores during the follow-up period.

    Measured: baseline, 4 week, 12 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The evaluation of changes in the specific neuro-sensory system

    The following tests was evaluated during the follow-up period. The pain intensity was evaluated by short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire and by sleep disturbance pain score. The quantitative change of sensory nerve was evaluated by quantitative sensory test (QST). We measure serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), glucose, insulin and c-peptide. The amount of drug requirements will also assess at each follow-up period.

    Measured: baseline, 4 week, 12 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Normal saline and stem-cell in people with Diabetic Neuropathy, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2016. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Changes in pain for a week after the procedure (time frame: baseline, 4 week, 12 week). 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 15 Apr 2016.
