Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Secretome for Moderate Rheumatoid Arthritis (SECRETOME-RA)

13 september 2026 uppdaterad av: Universitas Sriwijaya

Clinical and Biological Effects of Intramuscular Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Secretome in Patients With Moderate Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, progressive joint destruction, pain, and functional disability. Although conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) are the standard treatment, many patients continue to have active disease despite therapy. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (UC-MSC) secretome contains bioactive molecules with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties that may improve clinical outcomes. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of intramuscular UC-MSC secretome as an adjunct to standard csDMARD therapy in patients with moderate rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical response, inflammatory biomarkers, and adverse events are evaluated throughout the study.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, progressive cartilage destruction, bone erosion, and functional disability. Although conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) remain the standard treatment, a substantial proportion of patients continue to experience active disease, highlighting the need for adjunctive therapeutic strategies.

Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (UC-MSC) secretome is a cell-free biological product containing cytokines, growth factors, extracellular vesicles, and other bioactive molecules with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. Compared with live-cell therapy, secretome-based treatment may offer advantages including lower immunogenicity, easier storage and transportation, and standardized manufacturing.

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intramuscular UC-MSC secretome administered in combination with stable csDMARD therapy in patients with moderate rheumatoid arthritis. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either UC-MSC secretome or placebo in addition to standard treatment. The intervention consisted of six weekly intramuscular injections, followed by protocol-defined clinical and safety follow-up.

The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement response (ACR20). Key secondary endpoints included ACR50 and ACR70 response rates, changes in inflammatory biomarkers (including TNF-α, IL-6, and TGF-β), disease activity, patient-reported outcomes, and treatment safety.

Experimentell: UC-MSC Secretome + Standard csDMARD
Participants received 1.5 mL intramuscular umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (UC-MSC) secretome once weekly for six consecutive weeks in addition to stable conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARD) therapy. Clinical outcomes and biomarkers were evaluated throughout the study and during follow-up.
