About this study

Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by skin lesions and visceral responsible for significant morbidity. Microcirculatory disorders and tissue fibrosis are excessive severity of the disease. This condition can affect the hands with a major functional consequence severely impairing the quality of life of patients.

Adipose tissue is used in plastic surgery for over a century for the filling of depressions in the skin. In addition to the volume effect, a trophic effect on the surrounding tissue was noted. It is shown that the stromal vascular fraction is responsible for this regenerative effect.

In a previous study the investigators have demonstrated in a mouse model that the subcutaneous adipose tissue provides a trophic effect on SSc skin lesions by reducing the fibrosis of the dermis and providing a pro angiogenic.

Objectives and means:

This is a clinical study evaluating an innovative cell therapy procedure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of injection of autologous stromal vascular fraction of adipose origin according to the system Celution ® (Cytori Therapeutics, Inc.., United Kingdom) in digital in patients with scleroderma cutaneous hands.

Eleven patients with scleroderma with the hands will be included in the study. Due to the nature of the orphan disease, a longitudinal study be conducted, where each patient will have own control.

The evaluation will be pre and post operative for a period of six months. This evaluation will be based on clinical criteria (trophic balance, functional) and laboratory (capillaroscopy, Doppler ultrasound of the arteries of the forearm, laser-Doppler tissue).

Project schedule and implementation phases:

The project will run over a period of twelve months. Patients will be followed for a period of six months. Analyzes clinical, paraclinical, and exploitation of results will be achieved over a period of six months.

Expected Results: This study will validate the functional and trophic effects of reinjection of autologous stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue issue on the fingers of patients with scleroderma.

Conclusion: This innovative cell therapy could represent an alternative treatment for patients with scleroderma in check, intolerant or insufficiently relieved by medical treatment currently available in the scleroderma hand

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing the cell therapy in people with Systemic Sclerosis, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2014. 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The improvement of the functional index of Cochin (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01813279, 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 1 Sep 2014.
