Expanded Access Study of UC-MSC in DMD Patients

August 27, 2024 updated by: MED Institute Inc.

Intermediate Size Expanded Access Study of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC) In Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

The primary objective of this study is to provide UC-MSC treatment to patients with DMD.

Secondary objectives will be to further evaluate treatment-related adverse events as well as changes in DMD-related functional testing/assessments, blood laboratories, and inflammation related biomarker levels over time.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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 study will enroll ambulatory male participants between the ages of 5 and 10, who will receive four, 3-day intravenous dose cycles of UC-MSC treatment, each administered every three months. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study period for treatment-related adverse events and changes in DMD-related functional assessments at specific follow-up intervals through 24 months.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Expanded Access

Expanded Access Type

Expanded Access Type

Describes the category of expanded access under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. There are three types of expanded access:
  • Individual Patients: Allows a single patient, with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a clinical trial, access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This category also includes access in an emergency situation.
  • Intermediate-size Population: Allows more than one patient (but generally fewer patients than through a Treatment IND/Protocol) access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access is used when multiple patients with the same disease or condition seek access to a specific drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA.
  • Treatment IND/Protocol: Allows a large, widespread population access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access can only be provided if the product is already being developed for marketing for the same use as the expanded access use.
  • Intermediate-size Population

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.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male sex by birth with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
  2. Age is greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 10 years.
  3. Has a North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) score greater than 13 and less than 30.
  4. Demonstrates the ability to perform the "time to rise" test in under 10 seconds.
  5. Is up-to-date on immunizations.
  6. Is on a stable dose of glucocorticoids for at least 12 weeks prior to study participation, except for weight-based or toxicity-related adjustments.
  7. Is on a stable dose of supplements for at least 12 weeks prior to study participation.
  8. Has the ability to comply with the requirements of the study and the ability to understand and provide written informed assent and a guardian's consent.
  9. Patient must be either a non-responder to or a poor candidate for treatment with another established therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Active cancer or prior diagnosis of cancer within the past year (patients with basal and squamous cell cancer of the skin will not be excluded).
  2. BMI > 45 kg/m².
  3. Any other condition (including concomitant treatment) that, in the judgment of the Investigator or Sponsor, would be a contraindication to enrollment, study product administration (e.g., known hypersensitivity to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Human Serum Albumin (HSA), or PlasmaLyte), or follow-up.
  4. Treatment with an exon skipping therapy within 3 months of study start.
  5. Cognitive delay or impairment that can confound motor development in the opinion of the investigator.
  6. Major surgery within 3 months prior to Day 0 or planned surgery or procedures that could affect the conduct of the study.
