About this study

Official title: Treatment of Patients With Inflammatory-dystrophic Diseases of the Cornea Using Autologous Limbal Stem Cells (Corneal Epithelial Stem Cells) or Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Treatment of patients with inflammatory-dystrophic diseases of the cornea using autologous limbal stem cells (corneal epithelial stem cells) or adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Read the detailed description

In order to treat inflammatory and dystrophic diseases of the cornea perilimbal injections of cultured autologous stem cells are performed. Corneal (limbal) epithelial stem cells (LSC) or mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSC) are mixed with sodium hyaluronate 1%

Being tested
mesenchymal stem cells, limbal stem cells, standard treatment
Keywords
Corneal Disease
Medical subject headings
Corneal Ulcer, Corneal Diseases, Corneal Dystrophies, Hereditary

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing mesenchymal stem cells, limbal stem cells and standard treatment in people with Corneal Ulcer and Corneal Disease, run by Institute of Biophysics and Cell Engineering of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus at 1 site in Belarus.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 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 Belarus. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of cured patients (time frame: 2 month). The study lists 2 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 30 Jul 2020.
