January 9, 2020 updated by: Jianwu Dai, Chinese Academy of Sciences

The Safety and Efficacy Assessment of Human Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUC-MSCs) With Injectable Collagen Scaffold Transplantation in Woman With Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)

Cellular therapies are rapidly progressing fields and have shown immense promise in the treatment of damaged ovarian function. The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of intra-ovarian injection of allogeneic HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold in women with Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) and to study the preliminary efficacy of HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold injection on ovarian function improvement.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic potency of the HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold transvaginal injection for POF women. The serum of each patient was kept and sent for laboratory test before the surgery. HUC-MSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro and the biomarkers of HUC-MSCs were detected using Flow cytometry detection. The HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold were then injected directly into bilateral ovaries. The outcomes of patients were examined after the injection. The patients are monitored for signs of follicle growth and growing follicles are stimulated with exogenous hormones, followed by oocyte retrieval and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

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.

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
Safety and Tolerability assessed by Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
Proportion of patients with postoperative infections and serious adverse events (SAEs) were assessed by long term follow-up.
Up to 6 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.
