About this study

In this trial, investigators will infuse donor bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells intravenously, as a treatment for pediatric Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis that has not responded to conventional therapies. The goals of this study are to test the safety and tolerability of donor mesenchymal stromal cells in children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Mesenchymal stromal cells support the development of blood cells within the bone marrow. When isolated from a donor and infused into an animal or human, they have been demonstrated to travel to areas of inflammation, to alter immune responses, to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines, and to promote tissue repair. Infusion of these cells does not lead to rejection. These properties lead investigators to hypothesize that that these may be they may be beneficial in treating inflammatory bowel disease.

In this trial, investigators will infuse donor bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells intravenously, as a treatment for pediatric Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis that has not responded to conventional therapies. Mesenchymal stromal cells support the development of blood cells within the bone marrow. They have also been demonstrated to travel to areas of inflammation, to alter immune responses, to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines, and to promote tissue repair. Infusion of these cells does not lead to rejection. These properties lead investigators to hypothesize that that these may be they may be beneficial in treating inflammatory bowel disease.

Investigators will culture donated bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells in a unique automated system, and infuse the cells in a fresh, replicating stage of growth. This study is to test the safety and tolerability of donor mesenchymal stromal cells in children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cellsBiological

    This study is a pilot phase 1 study of patients with moderately to severely active Crohn Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) (≥ 18 years, Mayo score: ≥6 or CDAI: ˃ 220; <18 years, Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) :> 30) or Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) : >34). A fixed dose will be studied: 1 x 106 cells/kg administered intravenously (IV) weekly for 4 consecutive weeks, with the option of an additional 4 weeks of treatment, at the discretion of the principal investigator.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Who Experience Serious Adverse Events, Adverse Events, and/or Early Treatment Discontinuations.

    Safety and tolerability of the administration of human allogeneic bone marrow-derived stromal cells to children and young adults with IBD, measured by the frequency of any SAEs, AEs and/or early treatment discontinuations. Weekly infusions for 8 weeks, post-treatment assessment 45 days after last infusion, three additional follow-up visits over 2 years.

    Measured: 45 days after the last infusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Proportion of Patients With Clinical Response

    Proportion of subjects that achieve a clinical response by 45 days after last infusion, as defined by a decrease in PCDAI from baseline by greater than or equal to 12.5 points (for CD) or a decrease in PUCAI of greater than or equal to 20 points (for UC).

    Measured: 45 days after last infusion

  2. Number of Subjects Demonstrating an Improvement of Laboratory Tests Reflecting Systemic Inflammation.

    Improvement in laboratory parameters (i.e. C-reactive protein, fecal calprotectin, anti-HLA antibodies, and viral specific T-cell activity)

    Measured: 45 days after last infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells in people with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by Catherine Bollard at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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 6 May 2024. 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 United States. 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 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.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jan 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Subjects Who Experience Serious Adverse Events, Adverse Events, and/or Early Treatment Discontinuations. (time frame: 45 days after the last infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 May 2024.
