About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Phase 1 Trial for Safety and Efficacy Study of 2nd Cycle Treatment After 6 Months of 1st Cycle HLA-haplo Matched Allogenic Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cell("HYNR-CS-Allo Inj") Treatment in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HLA-haplo matched Allogenic Bone Marrow Derived stem cells("HYNRCS-Allo-ALS-02 inj"), through intrathecal delivery for the repeated treatment after 6 months of first treatment in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS).

This study is an open label, single-dose study to assess the safety and efficacy of HLA-haplo matched Allogenic Bone Marrow Derived stem cells("HYNRCS-Allo-ALS-02 inj")

Read the detailed description

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor neuron loss. Despite of many trials for disease-modifying, no treatment has so far changed natural course of disease.

The investigators had performed the pre-clinical and clinical studies using autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells in ALS. In the investigators' results of clinical trial, intrathecal injection of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells is safe and could slow down disease progression and might be used as a disease modifying strategy in patients with ALS.

In the new field, like cell therapy, it is an important issue whether a bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells can be used as an allograft. Many investigators had showed that the immunoprivileged and immunosuppressive properties of mesenchymal stem cells result from the absence of major histocompatibility class II antigens and the secretion of T helper type 2 cytokines.

One potential advantage of allogenic bone marrow derived cells could be avoiding the need for procedural delay before treatment. And it is also hypothesized that the function of autologous bone marrow derived cells could be impaired in patients with co-morbidities or advanced age.

This study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of repeated treatment after 6 months of first HYNRCS-Allo-ALS-02 inj(HLA-haplo matched Allogenic bone marrow-derived stem cells) treatment in patients with ALS.

The patients enrolled in the trial will be successively allocated into single cohort for HYNRCS-Allo-ALS-02 inj., 1.0 X 10^6 cells/kg, according to the protocol design. Only a maximum of six patients will be given a particular dosage.

The scheduled assessments and visits will be carried out over three periods: run-in period, treatment period, and follow-up period.

The run-in period includes the screening visit where a written informed consent is obtained and the screening period where patients are assessed for eligibility. It will be completed within 56 days prior to enrollment. The patients meeting inclusion criteria will start the treatment period.

During the treatment period, subjects will be administered HYNRCS-Allo-ALS-02 inj. 2 times(first treatment) by intrathecal administration with 28 days interval and there will be repeated treatment after 6 months of the first treatment.

The Follow-up period starts once subjects complete the treatment period and will continue until the final follow-up visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HYNRCS-Allo inj in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, run by Hanyang University Seoul Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 16 May 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 Incidence of any treatment related serious adverse events(SAE) (time frame: 12 months). 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 16 May 2019.
