November 17, 2021 updated by: Li-jun Ding

Clinical Study of Human Umbilical Artery Derived Perivascular Stem Cells in the Treatment of Premature Ovarian Failure

This study was a single-center randomized controlled trial at the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. There were patients who underwent clinical follow-ups since 2018 in POF clinic. Patients were given treatment of either UCA-PSC or WJ-MSC.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

At entry, all patients had already received a standard non-physiologic hormone replacement regimen. According to blinded preferences for participation, patients were randomized into two treatment groups after an initial 2-month washout period of no therapy. One group received UCA-PSC transplantation plus horone replacement treatment (HRT) (UCA-PSC group), while the other group received WJ-MSC transplantation plus HRT (collagen/WJ-MSC group)

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.

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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: UCA-PSC
Subsequent to isolation and culture of UCA-PSCs, UCA-PSCs (GMP grade, from Clinical Center for Stem Cell Research of the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, licensed by the National Institute for China Food and Drug Control) were injected into the ovaries of patients with hormone replacement treatment, which consisted of Premarin (0.625 mg/days on days 1 through 25) combined with Provera (10 mg/day for 10 days a month with monthly withdrawal bleeding).
Procedure: transplantation of human UCA-PSCs or WJ-MSCs into ovaries of POF patients
After vaginal sterilization, TVUS-guided transplantation was performed by the senior-level medical physician B Wang), using a SIEMENS ACUSON ANTANES premium edition system (SIEMENS AG Healthcae Sector, Erlangen, Germany), equipped with a 6-10 MHz probe. The solution (a total number of 2×10^7cells, 1×10^7 /400 μL for unilateral ovarian injection) was injected into the ovary by using 21G PTC needles (Hakko Medical Co, Japan) under TVUS guiance. Each patent received up to three transplantations.
Experimental: WJ-MSC
Subsequent to isolation and culture of WJ-MSCs, WJ-MSCs (GMP grade, from Clinical Center for Stem Cell Research of the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, licensed by the National Institute for China Food and Drug Control) were injected into the ovaries of patients with hormone replacement treatment, which consisted of Premarin (0.625 mg/days on days 1 through 25) combined with Provera (10 mg/day for 10 days a month with monthly withdrawal bleeding).

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
blood perfusion in the ovary
Time Frame: within the first 30 weeks (plus or minus 10 weeks) after surgery
Systolic/Diastolic blood pressure (S/D) value was monitored in bilateral ovaries by transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound detector.
within the first 30 weeks (plus or minus 10 weeks) after surgery
Antral Follicle Diameter
Time Frame: within the first 30 weeks (plus or minus 10 weeks) after surgery
An antral follicle (or Graafian follicle) is an ovarian follicle during a certain latter stage of folliculogenesis. The antral follicle diameter in the ovaries were record using transvaginal ultrasound scan.
within the first 30 weeks (plus or minus 10 weeks) after surgery

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
blood flow index in the ovaries
Time Frame: within the first 30 weeks (plus or minus 10 weeks) after surgery
The blood flow spectrum in bilateral ovaries was monitored by transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound detector, including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI).
within the first 30 weeks (plus or minus 10 weeks) after surgery
