Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells(MSCs) Transplantation for Acute Cerebral Infarction Patients

April 16, 2023 updated by: Shanghai East Hospital

Effect of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells(MSCs) Transplantation for on Prognosis of Acute Cerebral Infarction Patients

This is a placebo controlled, randomized, double blinded study including Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase I study is a safety assessment and Phase 2 study is incline to assess effectiveness of MSCs. Potential subjects must be screened and consented before enrolled.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of early intravenous infusion of allogeneic human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HucMSCs or MSCs used in the following section) for patients with acute ischemic stroke. Eligible patients will receive a single dose of MSCs or placebo within 24 hours after stroke. Patients will be followed for 2 years post infusion for safety and efficacy (change in neurological symptoms and quality of life). Assessments will occur during transplantation and at 3,7, 14 days and1,3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after infusions of stem cells.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In Phase 1 study, the eligible patients of acute cerebral infarction within 7 days after onset will be randomized to MSCs group or control group and receive intravenous MSCs 2 x 10^6/kg or placebo as a single dose, respectively. Each group will enroll 10 patients and patients will be followed for 2 years to observe the adverse events and evaluate the safety of MSCs for acute ischemic stroke patients.

The safety and preliminary effectiveness of MSCs in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction will be summarized after all patients of Phase 1 study were followed for 3 months post infusion, and the report will be submit to the academic committee and the ethics committee to evaluate before approval to begin the Phase 2 study.

In Phase 2 study, 100 patients with acute infarction within 24 hours after onset will be enrolled and randomized to MSCs group or control group. Patients will have baseline laboratory examinations and cerebral image (MRI or CTP). Enrolled patients will receive intravenous infusion of 2*10^6/kg MSCs or placebo for a single dose and follow for 24 months to assess the adverse events, neurological functional recovery and quality of life.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
adverse events
Time Frame: 24 months post transplantation
include tumorigenesis, death, pulmonary embolism, allergy, newly cerebrovascular events and other adverse events to evaluate the safety of MSCs for acute ischemic stroke patients
24 months post transplantation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 3 months
Time Frame: 3 months post transplantation
The NIHSS neurologic examination includes 15 individual elements that measure motor and sensory function, language and speech production, vision, level of consciousness and attention, and neglect. The scores of each element are summed (range from 0 to 42) to evaluate the severity of neurological deficits. The more higher score means the more severe neurological dysfunction.
3 months post transplantation
the Barthel index (BI) of 3 months
Time Frame: 3 months post transplantation
The BI (range from 0 to 100) are used to assess the difference of activities of daily living between two groups. the score ≤40 means severe dependence, score 41~60 means moderate dependence, score 61~99 means mild dependence and score 100 means independence.
3 months post transplantation
