About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation for Primary Sjögren's Syndrome - Phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ

This study will explore safety and efficacy of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells transplantation (MSCT) to treat patients with diagnosis of primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS) who have been resistant to multiple standard treatments. The underlying hypothesis is that the pSS condition is caused by an abnormal immune homeostasis that can be restored by MSCT.

Read the detailed description
  • To test a new approach using allogeneic derived mesenchymal stem cell based therapy (MSCT) to treat refractory primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS)
  • To determine the disease-free survival in pSS patients treated with MSCT in terms of disease activity index, pSS serology and salivary gland function
  • To assess adverse events of allogeneic MSC transplantation
  • To assess the association of disease activity index, pSS serology levels, and saliva flow rate at baseline with disease-free survival

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AlloMSC)Biological

    Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells will be infused intravenously (single dose, 10^6 cells/kg body weight).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index

    Measured: Monthly

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. pSS Serology (ANA, dsDNA, SS-A, SS-B)

    Measured: Monthly

  2. Improvement of salivary gland function (measured as stimulated saliva flow rate)

    Measured: Monthly

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AlloMSC) in people with Sjogren's Syndrome and Mesenchymal Stem Cells, run by The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lingyun Sun, MD (+86-25-83105219, lingyunsun2001@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index (time frame: Monthly). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00953485, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Aug 2009.
