About this study

To study the safety and effect of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells for treatment brain injury

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effect of infusions of autologous (the patient's own)umbilical cord blood stem cells in newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. For this study, infants who have signs of moderate to severe encephalopathy at birth whose mothers have previously consented to providing cord blood stem cells for the Gunagdong Cord Blood Bank,or provided verbal consent for cord blood collection for the possibility of their baby's participation in this trial, can receive their own cord blood stem cells if an adequate number of cells that meet Guangdong Cord Blood Bank Quality standards are available in the first 14 postnatal days. Study activities also include serial blood draws concurrent with clinically indicated blood draws with a total volume of no more than 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) from all study related tests. Babies will be followed for neurodevelopmental outcome at 4 - 6 and 9 - 12 months. MRI's will be obtained per clinical routine and results will be analyzed and described in study reports.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PlaceboPlacebo comparatorpreterm infants with severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy receive only 0.9% Sodium-chloride
Receives: Drug: 0.9% Sodium-chloride
infusionExperimentalpreterm infants with severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy will receive up to 4 infusions of their own volume reduced cord blood stem cells. The number of doses will be determined by the amount of available cord blood stem cells. The dose for each infusion is 5x107 cells/kg
Receives: Other: autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells

What is being measured

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

  1. safety of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion in enrolled preterm infants

    Adverse event rates occurring will be compared between the autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells recipients and control group

    Measured: during infusion 24 hours after infusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. effect of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion in enrolled preterm infants

    the effect of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion will be measured by neurodevelopmental function at 4 - 6 months and 9 - 12 months of age

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells and 0.9% Sodium-chloride in people with Safety Issues and Effect of Drugs, run by Guangdong Women and Children Hospital.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Contact ZhuXiao Ren, MD (+8613538984634 ext. +86, renzhx1990@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

safety of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion in enrolled preterm infants (time frame: during infusion 24 hours after 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 5 Oct 2018.
