Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Derivatives in the Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers Type 1 and 2 (MSCDTDFU)

October 21, 2016 updated by: Claudia Lucia Sossa Melo, Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga

Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Derivatives: a New Alternative and Potential Product for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers 1 and 2

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using mesenchymal stromal cell derivatives (dac-MSCs) in the treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers (type 1 and 2) in adults. A third of the participants will receive dac-MSCs and Triticum vulgare (Fitostimoline) in combination, the other third MSCs and Fitostimoline in combination, and the last third only Fitosimoline. This study will be a randomized, blind, and parallel and controlled-group trial.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

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

Conventional treatments such as dry, wet or active dressings are effective only in 50% of patients with diabetic foot ulcer. The remaining 50% of patients have non-responding recoveries that leads to amputation of the compromised limbs. Currently, the administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in animal models or in small groups of patients with diabetic foot ulcer has shown to be safe and effective. Particularly, the use of these cells induce regeneration, both in the dermis and the epidermis. Nevertheless, MSC transplantation has some limitations, for instance, time restrictions in the availability of cells due to their isolation and expansion as well as the complex and costly large-scale production. In the same manner, the cryopreservation might cause deleterious effects that affect the biological activity of the cells and a medical professional should conduct the cell administration. In addition, different studies report variability in the results due to the inconsistency in the methods that they used (extraction protocols, cultivation, expansion and administration). The investigators' recent studies in mice with skin lesions, particularly type 1 diabetes, have shown that the presence of the cells is not necessary to promote skin regeneration and the administration of dac-MSCs is sufficient to stimulate would healing.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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.

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.
