Umbilical Cord Plasma for Treating Endometrial Pathologies (Thin Endometrium / Asherman's Syndrome/ Endometria Atrophy) (hSCU-PRP)
Umbilical Cord Plasma for Treating Endometrial Pathologies (Thin Endometrium / Asherman's Syndrome/ Endometria Atrophy).
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Phase II clinical trial, designed as a pilot study, single-center and open-label, which aims to study the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma from umbilical cord after injection into a pathological endometrium (thin endometrium, Asherman's Syndrome, endometrial atrophy).
This treatment will be applied to patients with the aforementioned endometrial pathologies (group B), as well as to patients with premature ovarian failure (group A), which will serve to study its clinical value in greater detail. Plasma samples as well as endometrial biopsies will be analyzed to try to understand what molecular events are triggered in the endometrial tissue after the application of the treatment under study.

Description
UMBILICAL CORD DONORS
Donors of umbilical cord blood will be women (and their partners, if applicable) who give birth to a live newborn(s) in the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of HUP La Fe; the same umbilical cord collection criteria will be followed as standardized in HUP La Fe for the donation of this biological product.
GROUP A

Exclusion Criteria:
- Active genital infection proven at the time of recruitment; chronic endometritis.
- Known endometrial pathology.
- Psychological disorder that may hinder study follow-up.
- Positive results after viral safety analysis (HBsAg, HBcAb, HCV, HIV1, HIV2, syphilis).
- Presenting any syndrome or condition that, from the principal investigator's point of view, could pose a risk to the study or to the patient.

- Known endometrial pathology.
- Psychological disorder that may hinder study follow-up.
- Positive results after viral safety analysis (HBsAg, HBcAb, HCV, HIV1, HIV2, syphilis).
- Presenting any syndrome or condition that, from the principal investigator's point of view, could pose a risk to the study or to the patient.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Umbilical cord PRP donors
Women who are going to give birth to a healthy live newborn at the Hospital Universitario y Politécnico La Fe. Donors will donate their umbilical cord blood to obtain the hUC-PRP. A total of 30±15 donors will be recruited. |
The SCU will be collected using a blood collection bag containing anticoagulant.
This step will be performed by the medical and nursing staff of the obstetrics service of the HUP La Fe.
The blood collection bags will be the following, or similar: Cord Blood Collection Bags from MACOPHARMA; CPD Umbilical Cord Bag from GRIFOLS.
|
Experimental: Group B- Asherman with PRP treatment and estrogen therapy
Women with thin endometrium/endometrial atrophy and/or Asherman's syndrome with fertility problems and reproductive desires, desires that could be achieved by their participation in the present study.
A total of 15 patients will be included; all of them will receive the investigational treatment as well as estrogen therapy.
|
PRP previously frozen at -80ºC (6±2 mL) will be defrozen after checking donor-receptor compatibility and viral safety study.
PRP (4±2 mL) will be activated with 5% CaCl2 and immediately injected (4±2 mL) in the sub-endometrial wall via hysteroscopy.
Patients will receive estrogenic therapy, based on estradiol, for 10±2 days (oestraclin, topical cream, 5µg daily for 10±2 days).
Biopsies will be taken by specialized medical personnel by aspiration with an intrauterine cannula (pipelle or cornier).
Samples will be collected in 15 mL tubes (or in a larger capacity container if needed) containing PBS or RNA later until frozen at -80ºC, at the IVI Foundation facilities.
Prior to freezing (in a 1.8-2 mL cryotube) the PBS will be removed and the sample cleaned in a Petri dish if needed.
|
Other: Group A1- POI with PRP treatment and estrogen therapy
Women with premature ovarian failure (POI).
A total of 10 patients will be included.
All of them will receive the investigational treatment as well as estrogen therapy.
