hAESCs Prevent Acute Graft-versus-host Disease After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Early Phase 1
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Acute Graft Versus Host Disease
Interventions
Biological: Human amniotic epithelial stem cells(hAESCs)
Biological: placebo (cell preservation solution)
Registration Number
NCT06444022
Lead Sponsor
Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University
Brief Summary

This is a parallel controlled clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of hAECs in preventing aGVHD after HSCT.

Detailed Description

This study is a controlled trial, with 18 subjects enrolled in the experimental group or the control group. The study will consist of four phases, including screening phase, preparation phase, hAESCs treatment phase and observational follow-up period. The cell dose of the experimental group was 1x10\^6 cells/kg and the control group is infused placebo (the composition was the same as hAESCs injection excipients, but did not contain hAESCs). The infusion of hAESCs/placebo at the day before HSCT and 7th days after HSCT.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Follow up closely after intravenous hAESCs therapy to monitor Adverse Event/Serious Adverse Event(AE/SAE)1 year

AE occurring throughout the study period will be evaluated using the CTCAE V5.0 standard. AE/SAE and AESI were evaluated after first hAESCs infusion by laboratory examination, measurement of vital signs, physical examination, and subjects' symptoms to detect new abnormalities and/or deterioration of previous conditions and evaluate the safety of the study.

hAESCs intravenous infusion is followed up and monitored closely, mainly including vital signs, physical examination, ECOG, electrocardiogram, blood biochemistry, blood RT, urine RT, coagulation laboratory test, imaging examination, type, frequency and severity of AE.
