Human Umbilical-Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Active Ulcerative Colitis (UCMSC-UC)

Safety and Efficacy of Human Umbilical-Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation in Active Ulcerative Colitis.

Phase I-II Clinical Trial - Safety and efficacy of umbilical-cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) in patients with active ulcerative colitis,randomized, single blind, controlled prospective study.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Phase I-II Clinical Trial - Safety and efficacy of umbilical-cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) in patients with active ulcerative colitis,randomized, single blind, controlled prospective study.

Thirty patients will be selected and randomized into two groups: the first group of 15 patients will receive a sole injection of UC-MSC and the remaining 15 patients will comprise the control group.

Every patient will maintain their standard treatment of active ulcerative colitis, with maximum tolerated dosage without side effects.

The day of infusion will be considered day zero. From that moment, followup will be divided into 0-1 week, 1 week-2 week,2 week-3 week, 3 week-1 month, and 3 month-6 months.

Clinical results will be analyzed after completion of 6 months of followup.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: UCMSC group
Human umbilical cord MSCs are administrated to patients by three intravenous infusion
Human umbilical cord MSCs are transplanted three times by intravenous infusion(1×10^6/kg) ,once every week,a total of three times.
Other: Control group(Normal saline)
Patients will receive normal saline at the same time points as that in experimental group.
Normal saline in same volume as MSCs are transplanted to patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety will be determined by the assessment of major adverse events.
Time Frame: Within the six months after intravenous infusion
Safety will be determined by the assessment of major adverse events defined as fever, allergy or any other intravenous infusion adverse events.
Within the six months after intravenous infusion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical response (CDAI points)
Time Frame: Post first cell transplantation: 3 weeks and months 1,3 and 6
CDAI is defined as Clinical Disease Activity Index.
