About this study

Official title: Clinical Transformation of Bone Reconstruction With Autologous Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Vitro to Repair Long Tubular Bone Defects of Limbs

Commercial decalcified bone scaffolds were combined with autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to form tissue engineered bone in vitro to explore the effect of this tissue engineered bone in the clinical repair of long tubular bone defects in limbs.

Read the detailed description

Bone defects caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors, particularly weight-bearing long tubular bone defects in the limbs, pose significant harm to patients and severely impact their quality of life, remaining a major clinical challenge. Current repair methods such as autologous bone grafting, vascularized autologous bone grafting, allogeneic bone grafting, induced membrane technique, and bone transport technique face limitations including lengthy treatment cycles, high costs, restricted donor sites and bone harvest quantities, and unpredictable outcomes.

To address these challenges, the National Engineering Research Center for Tissue Engineering has developed an innovative approach through continuous research and innovation. This method utilizes autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with minimal invasiveness, strong proliferation capacity, and potent osteogenic potential as seed cells for bone construction. These cells are combined with clinically approved allogeneic decalcified bone materials to create tissue-engineered bone through in vitro induction. This approach offers multiple advantages: absence of immune rejection, unrestricted material sources, sufficient cultured bone volume, and high survival rates, providing a new direction for treating long tubular bone defects in limbs.

This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tissue-engineered bone constructed with autologous BMSCs for repairing long bone defects in extremities, thereby providing evidence-based support for bone defect treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. The scores of bone healing

    The scores of bone healing are divided into three kinds: nonhealing: 0;delayed healing: 1; normal healing.

    Measured: About 360 days after surgical treatment of bone defect

  2. The adverse event incidence using tissue-engineered bone

    The adverse event incidence of tissue-engineered bone

    Measured: About 360 days after surgical treatment of bone defect

  3. Bone union (bone healing) evaluation through modified lane and sandhu radiological scoring system

    Evaluation of the bone regeneration in the area of intervention in comparison to baseline (V1), by means of X-ray and/or CT scan examination, on visits V1, V2 and V3. X-ray scoring systems have been implemented according to the criteria proposed by modified Lane and Sandhu Radiological Scoring System. This scoring system evaluates bone formation and union. To evaluate the bone formation, there is a scale with 5 points, from 0 to 4 (0=No evidence of bone formation-4=Bone formation occupying 100% of defect). To evaluate bone union, there is a scale with 3 points, from 0 to 2 (0=Non-union-2=Radiogrical union)

    Measured: At the end of visits 1, 2, 3 (respectively performed at screening and 7, 90, 360 days after the surgery)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The scores of time of weight loading after operation

    The scores of time of weight loading after operation are divided into three kinds: longer than six months: 0; longer than three months: 1; less than three months: 2

    Measured: About 360 days after surgical treatment of bone defect

  2. The scores of pain

    The scores of pain after operation are divided into four kinds: severe: 0; moderate: 1; slight: 2; none: 3.

    Measured: About 360 days after surgical treatment of bone defect

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tissue-engineered bone in people with Defective Composite Restorations and Bone Cysts, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College 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 3 inclusion and 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jan 2026. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Wenjie Ren (8613937354075, 13937354075@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The scores of bone healing (time frame: About 360 days after surgical treatment of bone defect). 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 Jan 2026.
