About this study

To study the clinical efficacy and safety of autologous umbilical cord blood transfusion in the treatment of cerebral palsy.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1 clinical trial that constitutes two time points cohorts with participants who will receive intravenous autologous umbilical cord blood and 0.9% sodium chloride respectively. The timing of treatment is any time after the diagnosis of cerebral palsy. The investigator will proceed the groups during the same period.

  1. Demographic Data and Baseline Characteristics of the Studied Group were collected:
  • Basic patient's information survey
  • Medical history
  • Physical examination
  • Basic blood test result
  • Children's developmental disorders evaluation before the treatment
  • Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Diffusion Tensor Imaging (MRI-DTI) before the treatment
  • Neurocognitive function test before the treatment
  1. Assessment of clinical condition in the course by measurement of blood pressure, heart and respiratory rates, temperature and adverse events was recorded.
  2. Autologous cord blood doses is 20-30ml (total Mononuclear cells>1*10^7/kg),the infusion speed is 1ml/min, and with same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride as placebo.
  3. The follow-up: clinical test until 30th month in 3 month gaps.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Change of Gross Motor Function Classification System(GMFCS) Score

    GMFCS is used to assess the gross motor function of the children who were diagnosised as cerebral palsy.The results of GMFCS are divided into five levels. Grade I represents the best outcome while grade Ⅴ represents the worst.

    Measured: up to 30 months after therapy at a 3-month interval

  2. The Change of Gesell Developmental Scale(GDS) Score

    The GDS is used to measure the gross motor,fine action,adaptability,language and individual-society function of the children whose age ranges from 1-month to 6-year-old. The score less than 75 for each subscale represent the worse outcome and more than 75 represent the better.

    Measured: every 3-month after therapy until 30 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 0.9% Sodium Chloride and Autologous Umbilical Cord Blood in people with Safety Issues and Effect of Drugs, run by Guangdong Women and Children Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 4 Jan 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 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. 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 Xiao Huimei, MD (+862039151772 ext. +86, xiaowu2010727@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Change of Gross Motor Function Classification System(GMFCS) Score (time frame: up to 30 months after therapy at a 3-month interval). 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 NCT03791372, 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 4 Jan 2019.
