Treatment With MSC in HIV-infected Patients With Controlled Viremia and Immunological Discordant Response

Clinical Trial Phase I/II, of Test of Concept, Blind Double, Randomized, Controlled With Placebo, to Assess the Safety and Efficiency of the Treatment With Allogenic Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Adipose Tissue Expanded, in HIV-infected Patients With Controlled Viremia and Immunological Discordant Response

Phase I/IIClinical trial, proof of concept, double blind, and placebo-controlled, randomized 2:1 (MSCs: placebo), total sample size is 15 subjects

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a phase I-II, randomised, placebo-controlled, clinical trial, currently ongoing in a single Spanish hospital (Hospital Virgen del Rocío, Seville), to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a 4-doses treatment regimen with MSCs (1 million cells/Kg MSCs, weeks 0-4-8-20) in HIV infected adults with swith discordant virological and immunological response to antiretroviral therapy. In the initial phase of the trial (n=5), patients were sequentially recruited, with a safety period of 15 days, receiving unblinded cell therapy. In the second phase of the trial, subjects are block randomised (1:1) to receive either MSCs (n=5), or placebo (n=5), as the control treatment. Immune response variables, adverse events, opportunistic infection signs are evaluated as determinants of safety and efficacy of MSCs. Study endpoints are measured along a follow-up period of 24 months, that includes 17 visits according to a decreasing frequency rate. Intention to treat, and per protocol, and safety analysis will be performed.
