Transplantation of Autologous Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) in Spinal Cord Injury Treatment

January 10, 2014 updated by: Tri Phuoc Biotechnology., JSC

A Phase II Study of Transplantation of Autologous Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) in Completely Acute Spinal Cord Injury.

This study is designed to assess the safety and effect of autologous adipose derived stem cell (ADSCs) transplantation in acute spinal cord injury patients.

  1. To assess the safety of autologous ADSCs transplantation in acute spinal cord injury and the complication after ADSCs transplantation.
  2. To evaluate the effect of ADSCs isolation and expansion procedure.
  3. To determine if functional outcome is improved following ADSCs transplantation in acute spinal cord injury patient, using pre-transplantation spinal cord function as the control.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The research has carried out in Phase II which is designed as randomized controlled trials.

Selection of patients began in Feb,2013, 48 patients are divided in two group according to a 2:1 ratio (the number of candidates as treated: the candidates as control).

The effectiveness of preliminary trial are evaluated by assessing Frankel/ASIA motor grade, measuring electrophysiological parameters, enhanced MRI and urinary and bowel function.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants with adverse events after transplantation.
Time Frame: 24 months
Number of Participants with adverse events is as a measure of safety and tolerability after ADSC transplantation. Adverse events can be impaired liver and kidney, immunosuppression or immune deficiency, hypersensitivity, anaphylactic shock, meningitis symptoms, etc.
24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes of spinal cord edema in the MRI at the lesion site
Time Frame: 24 months
Patients take MRI at the lesion site before each injection and after transplantation 6 months, 12 months, 24 months. MRI at the lesion site shows spinal cord edema level is reduced or not.
24 months
Urinary and bowel function Improvement
Time Frame: 24 months
Bladder pressure monitory to assess ability to feel and control urination and bowel.
24 months
Muscle contraction force measurement
Time Frame: 24 months
Comparison the electromyography (EMG) score during contraction of given muscles before each injection and after transplantation 6 months, 12 months and 24 months.
24 months
Significant clinical improvement in ASIA impairment scale and general condition.
Time Frame: 24 months
Patients are assess improvement level based on American Spinal Injury Assessment scale of A,B,C,D or E before and after transplantation.
24 months
