About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Patients With Hereditary Ataxia

The Hereditary Ataxias are a group of genetic disorders characterized by slowly progressive incoordination of gait and often associated with poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. Current treatments for Hereditary Ataxias are mainly pharmacological, rehabilitative, or psychological treatments,while no effective treatment available. Stem Cell therapy is a novel and promising therapeutic strategy for Hereditary Ataxias treatment. In this study, the safety and efficacy of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells transplantation will be evaluated in patients with Hereditary Ataxias.

What is being measured

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

  1. scores of International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) scale and Berg Scale

    Measured: 1 year after treatment

  2. the volume of Cerebellum of Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan

    Measured: 1 year after treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Measured: 1 year after treatment

  2. Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Measured: 1 year after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in people with Hereditary Ataxia, run by Shenzhen Beike Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. 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 12 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 28 Nov 2012. 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 Yun Xu (xuyun20042001@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

scores of International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) scale and Berg Scale (time frame: 1 year after treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01360164, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Nov 2012.
