MSC Infusion for Anti-aging and Regenerative Therapy (REGEN)

November 20, 2019 updated by: Dr Lucas Luk Tien Wee, Landmark Medical Centre Sdn Bhd

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell (hMSC) Infusion for Anti-Aging and REGENerative Therapy

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of human Mesenchymal Stem Cell (hMSC) infusion therapy, in preserving general wellness and ameliorating or reversing the effects of aging in our study population

Study Overview

Detailed Description

100million human mesenchymal stem cells will be infused into study subjects. They will be followed up for both objective and subjective measures of 'anti-aging'. Biochemical markers such as male and female hormones and other parameters of well being will be measured. A questionnaire will also be filled pre and post infusion to ascertain one's well-being (Adapted from SF-36).

Source of MSCs - Autologous (Adipose tissue) or Allogenic (Adipose tissue or umbilical cord)

MSC production and storage will be performed in a GMP certified laboratory setting.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To evaluate number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Time Frame: 1 year
The safety of both Adipose derived and Umbilical Cord derived MSCs (both of Autologous and Allogenic sources) will be studied in clinical trial subjects. Adverse events will be documented and patients will be followed up over a period of 1 year post-infusion, to assess their well being. Clinical assessments and biochemical tests will be performed over the study period.
1 year
Improvement in General Well-Being, as assessed by our 'Quality of Life' Questionnaire, adapted from SF36.
Time Frame: 1 year
A 'Quality of Life' Questionnaire will be filled by Trial Participants pre and post-infusion therapy. This questionnaire has been adapted from SF36 and scales of 1-5 are used to grade an individual's well being - A score of 1 being worse and 5 meaning a better outcome.
1 year
Change in inflammatory marker levels
Time Frame: 1 year
IL-6, TNF alpha and CRP have been widely studied as markers of aging. These will be assessed in our trial subjects to ascertain if hMSC infusion results in any reduction in these inflammatory markers
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in medication dosage (if any)
Time Frame: 1 year
IF patients with chronic medical conditions such as hypertension are on medication, patients will be assessed if hMSC infusion results in any change in required medication dosage
1 year

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline, in plasma Glucose levels, over 52 weeks
Time Frame: 1 year
fasting glucose levels and HbA1c Levels will be assessed pre and post-infusion
1 year
Fasting lipid profile
Time Frame: 1 year
Fasting lipid profile will be assessed pre and post-infusion
1 year
Change in Hormonal Profile
Time Frame: 1 year
FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone Levels assessed pre and post-infusion
1 year
