About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Randomized, Controlled, Clinical Trial for Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of Allogeneic Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis Patients

Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by diffuse inflammation of the colonic mucosa. It affects the rectum and extends proximally along a variable length of the colon. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition with a relapsing remitting course. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subset of adult stem cells residing in many tissues, including bone marrow (BM), adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood. Recent experimental findings have shown the ability of MSCs to home to damaged tissues and to produce paracrine factors with anti-inflammatory properties, potentially resulting in reduction of inflammation and functional recovery of the damaged tissues. The purpose of our study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of the intracolonic injection by using a colonoscope of allogeneic adipose MSCs in patients with moderate active ulcerative colitis.

Being tested
Adipose-cord mesenchymal stromal cells (A-MSCs), Conventional drugs
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Endoscopic Score (as Measured by Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity)

    Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) is defined as Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity, with higher scores indicating more severe disease

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from Baseline in clinical response (CDAI points)

    CDAI is defined as Clinical Disease Activity Index

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

  2. To evaluate the quality of life index, Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ)

    The Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) is a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) tool measuring physical, social, and emotional status. It includes 10-item form of questions. Each question is scored on a Likert scale from 1 (worst) to 7 (best), scores from each item are summed to produce a total score, increased more than 3 scores were considered remission.

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

  3. Histologic Evaluation of Ulcerative Colitis

    A 10 to 20 centimeter (cm) biopsy sample of inflamed mucosal tissue was taken from the worst affected area and scored using the Riley Index. The Riley Index is a histologic scoring system for the assessment of the activity and severity of ulcerative colitis, ranging from 0 to 24. It consists of 6 histologic features (acute inflammatory cell infiltrate, crypt abscesses, mucin depletion, surface epithelial integrity, chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate, and crypt architectural irregularities), all scored on a 4-point scale (higher scores indicate more severe disease).

    Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

  4. Immune response in ulcerative colitis.

    A number of soluble mediators are detected, including proinflammatory cytokines (TNF, IFN-γ, IL-6.) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-4.).

    Measured: Baseline, 1, 4, 8 weeks

  5. Incidence of Treatment Adverse.

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant

    Measured: Baseline, 1, 4, 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Adipose-cord mesenchymal stromal cells (A-MSCs) and Conventional drugs in people with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), run by Liaocheng 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 Sep 2020. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shaoda Ren, Ph.D. (86-0635-8272202, zslrsd@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Endoscopic Score (as Measured by Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity) (time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks). 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 Sep 2020.
