Safety of Cultured Allogeneic Adult Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Intravenous Infusion for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Detailed Description

Studies have shown that stem cell treatment is safe and efficacious for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Patients with RA will receive a single intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells. The total dose will be 100 million cells. Patients will be evaluated within one month pre treatment and at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months post treatment for safety and efficacy.

For patients with more severe disease requiring chemotherapeutic drugs such as methotrexate, an autologous T Cell vaccine will be utilized created from the patient's own T cells obtained by apheresis

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety (adverse events)
Time Frame: Four year follow-up
Clinical monitoring of possible adverse events or complications
Four year follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy: the 28-joint disease activity score (DAS 28)
Time Frame: Four year follow-up
DAS 28 is used to determine the disease activity for RA. It will be completed for each follow up point.
Four year follow-up
Efficacy: visual analog scale (VAS)
Time Frame: Four year follow-up
VAS is a scale that is used to measure pain. It will be completed for each follow up point.
Four year follow-up
