Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

60 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Male or female acute ischemic patients aged 60-80 years with symptoms of acute cerebral infarction of less than 12h from stroke onset. If the time of symptom onset is unknown, it shall refer to the last time the patient was asymptomatic seen.
  • Patients should be treated within two weeks from the onset of stroke symptoms.
  • Patients with a measurable focal neurological that must persist to the time of treatment without clinically meaningful improvement.
  • Patients must have computerized tomography (CT) and / or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible with the clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke in the territory of the middle cerebral artery before being included in the study.
  • Patients must have a score on the NIH Stroke Scale 8-20, with at least 2 of these points in Sections 5 and 6 (motor deficit) at the time of inclusion.
  • Immediately (i.e. few minutes) before the stroke, patients should have a score on the mRS ≤ 1 (no symptoms at all or no significant disability despite symptoms, able to perform everyday tasks and activities).
  • Women of childbearing age should have a negative pregnancy test performed prior to inclusion.
  • Obtaining informed consent signed (after a detailed explanation of the nature and purpose of this study, the patient or guardian or legal representative must give their consent to participate by signing the informed consent document). Assent from a relative or career if the patient is unable to give meaningful consent (e.g. in cases of dysphasia, confusion, or reduced conscious level).

Exclusion criteria:

  • Comatose patients. Patients with a score of 2 or more in the item 1a of the NIHSS related to the degree of awareness.
  • Evidence on neuroimaging (CT or MRI) of brain tumour, cerebral oedema with midline shift and clinically significant compression of ventricles, cerebellar infarction or brainstem, or intraventricular, intracerebral or subarachnoid haemorrhage.
  • Current drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.· Active infectious disease, including HIV, hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, etc.
  • Pre-existing dementia.
  • Specify health status or any clinical conditions (e.g., life expectancy, co-existing disease) or other characteristics that precludes appropriate diagnosis, treatment or follow-up in the trial.
  • Patients who are participating in another clinical trial.
  • Inability or unwillingness of individual or legal guardian/representative to give written informed consent.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
In patients randomly assigned to the placebo arm will receive a intravenous solution (containing the vehicle) with the same appearance as the drug under investigation. It will be administered as a single intravenous dose within the first two weeks after the onset of stroke symptoms.
Drug: Placebo
Experimental: Allogeneic stem cells from adipose tissue
The experimental drug is a solution of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue. It will be administered as a single intravenous dose within the first two weeks after the onset of stroke symptoms.Dose: 1 million units/kg
Drug: Allogenic mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with Adverse events, complications.
Time Frame: 24 months

To assess the safety of treatment with allogeneic stem cells from adipose tissue in acute ischemic stroke patients (Follow-up 24 months):

  • Adverse events (AES) reported spontaneously or in response to questions not addressed. Serious adverse events. These will be recorded in each visit during all the study period (24 months).
  • Neurological and systemic complications: deteriorating stroke, stroke recurrences, brain oedema, seizures, hemorrhagic transformation, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, gastrointestinal haemorrhage… These will be recorded in each visit during all the study period (24 months).
  • Development of tumours
24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy
Time Frame: 3 months

To assess the potential efficacy of allogeneic stem cells from adipose tissue in acute ischemic stroke patients measured by the following parameters:

  1. Outcome at three months evaluated by: modified Rankin Scale and the NIH Stroke Scale
  2. total volume of stroke by performing MRI. To identify changes in biochemical markers of brain repair as VEGF, BDNF, MMP-9 and its relationship to neurological and functional outcomes.
