About this study

Official title: BIOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF THE VASCULAR FRACTION FROM THE ADIPOSE TISSUE OF PATIENTS WITH SCLERODERMIA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE CELLULAR THERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF FUNCTIONAL HANDICAP OF THE HAND

The overall objective is to propose a comprehensive analysis of the biological properties of the stromal vascular fraction evaluated in the SCLERADEC 2 clinical trial (n = 15 available) and preserved in the biological collection, compared to healthy donors (n = 10). This characterization will focus on the exploration of the phenotypic and functional characteristics of the main cellular subpopulations present in the stromal vascular fraction of scleroderma patients likely to be associated with a better regenerative vascular or anti-fibrotic activity of the cell therapy product.

The main objective will be to validate whether the supposed mechanism of action of this innovative therapy, in relation to the representativity of the endothelial progenitors, carrying the vascular regeneration activity, is preserved in the sclerodermic context.

A total of 30 subjects (20 systemic Scleroderma patients and 10 healthy donors) will be included.

What is being measured

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

  1. Study of the gene expression profile

    Study of the gene expression profile by qPCR

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Phenotypic analysis of the cells composing the stromal vascular fraction

    Phenotypic analysis performed by flow cytometry after multiple immunolabelings (CD90, CD14, CD146, CD34, CD45, DRAQ5, NucBlue Fixed Cell Stain (DAPI)) performed in accordance with the recommendations of the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) and IFATS.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Cell culture of the stromal vascular fraction to isolate and expand two populations of interest

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained by culturing the total stromal vascular fraction without an immunomagnetic selection step.

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Cell culture of the stromal vascular fraction to isolate and expand two populations of interest

    Endothelial progenitors by a magnetic immuno-separation method (CD144 microbeads kit, Mylteni biotec) for specifically isolating and expanding endothelial progenitor cells.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Scleroderma, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 9 inclusion and 22 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 Aug 2018. 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 France. 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 Jérémy MAGALON (jeremy.magalon@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Study of the gene expression profile (time frame: 18 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 14 Aug 2018.
