Trial summary

According to many recent research, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) isolated from synovial membrane and infrapatellar fat pad have higher ex vivo proliferation capacity, multipotency and ability to undergo chondrogenesis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Large-scale ex Vivo Expansion and Characterization of Synovial Membrane Mesenchymal Stem Cells (SM-MSC) and Infrapatellar Fat Pad Mesenchymal Stem Cells (IF-MSC) for Clinical Application

According to many recent research, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) isolated from synovial membrane and infrapatellar fat pad have higher ex vivo proliferation capacity, multipotency and ability to undergo chondrogenesis.

Based on this concept, the investigators plan to get two removed tissues (synovial membrane and infrapatellar fat pad) from patients who have an operation of total knee replacement. The investigators are going to isolate and expand MSC from these two tissues respectively, and then compare the chondrogenesis ability for clinical application. In the other hand, the investigators plan to build techniques and procedures which comply with "Good Tissue Practices (GTP)"

What is being measured

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

  1. Cell viability ratio of synovial membrane MSC and infrapatellar fat pad MSC from the first to the tenth cell passage

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Doubling time of synovial membrane MSC and infrapatellar fat pad MSC from the first to the tenth cell passage

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Percentage expression of cluster differentiation 90,105, 34, 45 surface markers of synovial membrane MSC and infrapatellar fat pad MSC from the first to the tenth cell passage

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Alcian blue staining of synovial membrane MSC and infrapatellar fat pad MSC

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Tyep II collagen and aggrecan gene expression of synovial membrane MSC and infrapatellar fat pad MSC

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Injuries, run by Chin-Hung Chang at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2015. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chih-Hung Chang, MD, Ph.D (886-2-89667000 ext. 2888, orthocch@mail.femh.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cell viability ratio of synovial membrane MSC and infrapatellar fat pad MSC from the first to the tenth cell passage (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Mar 2015.
