This study is designed to assess the safety and effect of autologous adipose derived stem cell (ADSCs) transplantation in acute spinal cord injury patients.
- To assess the safety of autologous ADSCs transplantation in acute spinal cord injury and the complication after ADSCs transplantation.
- To evaluate the effect of ADSCs isolation and expansion procedure.
- To determine if functional outcome is improved following ADSCs transplantation in acute spinal cord injury patient, using pre-transplantation spinal cord function as the control.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Acute Spinal Cord Injury | Device: Laminectomy Device: Intradural space Device: Intrathecal Device: Intravenous | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The research has carried out in Phase II which is designed as randomized controlled trials.
Selection of patients began in Feb,2013, 48 patients are divided in two group according to a 2:1 ratio (the number of candidates as treated: the candidates as control).
The effectiveness of preliminary trial are evaluated by assessing Frankel/ASIA motor grade, measuring electrophysiological parameters, enhanced MRI and urinary and bowel function.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 48 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase II Study of Transplantation of Autologous Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) in Completely Acute Spinal Cord Injury. |
Study Start Date : | February 2013 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | December 2014 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | March 2015 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Treatment with ADSCs transplantation
4 Intervention: laminectomy, intradural space at damage site, intrathecal at lumbar puncture, intravenous
|
Device: Laminectomy
surgical laminectomy with glial scar resection Device: Intradural space ADSCs injection into Intradural space at damage site Device: Intrathecal ADSCs Intrathecal into lumbar puncture Device: Intravenous ADSCs intravenous |
No Intervention: Treatment without ADSCs transplantation
Only intervention: laminectomy

- Number of Participants with adverse events after transplantation. [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Number of Participants with adverse events is as a measure of safety and tolerability after ADSC transplantation. Adverse events can be impaired liver and kidney, immunosuppression or immune deficiency, hypersensitivity, anaphylactic shock, meningitis symptoms, etc.
- Changes of spinal cord edema in the MRI at the lesion site [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Patients take MRI at the lesion site before each injection and after transplantation 6 months, 12 months, 24 months. MRI at the lesion site shows spinal cord edema level is reduced or not.
- Urinary and bowel function Improvement [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Bladder pressure monitory to assess ability to feel and control urination and bowel.
- Muscle contraction force measurement [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Comparison the electromyography (EMG) score during contraction of given muscles before each injection and after transplantation 6 months, 12 months and 24 months.
- Significant clinical improvement in ASIA impairment scale and general condition. [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Patients are assess improvement level based on American Spinal Injury Assessment scale of A,B,C,D or E before and after transplantation.
