About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy Study of Human Umbilical Cord-Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Rheumatoid Arthritis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell(hUC-MSC) for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Read the detailed description

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells exhibit the potential to differentiate into chondrocyte and osteocyte, which have been confirmed in in vivo and in vitro experiments. There have been few clinical reports describing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

To investigate the effects of hUC-MSC treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis, 20 patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis will be enrolled and receive 4 times of hUC-MSC transplantation.

Being tested
hUC-MSC + DMARDs, DMARDs
Keywords
Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell, Mesenchymal Stem Cell, Rheumatoid Arthritis

What participants receive

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

  • hUC-MSC + DMARDsBiological

    Also called Human Umbilical Cord-Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Patients will be treated by conventional drugs (DMARDs) for alleviating disease. Combinated with a single dose of 2×107 hUC-MSC will treated to patients, IV, Repeat every weeks for four times.

  • DMARDsDrug

    Also called NSAIDs, Methotrexate

    Patients will be treated by conventional drugs (DMARDs) for alleviating disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing hUC-MSC + DMARDs and DMARDs in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Shenzhen Hornetcorn Bio-technology Company, LTD 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 6 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 24 May 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 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. 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 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.

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 Wei J Zhong (+86 0755-83980805, ZhongJW@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Severity of adverse events (time frame: 12 months). 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 24 May 2016.
