Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for the Treatment of Non-union Fractures of Long Bones

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Atrophic Nonunion of Fracture
Interventions
Other: autologous iliac crest
Procedure: Surgery
Registration Number
NCT02230514
Lead Sponsor
Banc de Sang i Teixits
Brief Summary

The present study evaluates the effect of XCEL-MT-OSTEO-ALPHA in non-union fractures (pseudoarthrosis) of long bones in comparison to the standard treatment of autologous iliac crest.

XCEL-MT-OSTEO-ALPHA is a tissue engineering product composed by "ex-vivo" expanded autologous mesenchymal stromal cells fixed in allogenic bone tissue, produced by Xcelia (Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia).

The working hypothesis proposes that the tissue engineering is a valid and useful technique to achieve bone regeneration up to consolidation of non-union fractures.

Detailed Description

A phase IIa, single center, prospective, randomized, parallel, two-arms, single-dose, open-label with blinded assessor pilot clinical trial to assess ex vivo expanded adult autologous mesenchymal stromal cells fixed in allogeneic bone tissue (XCEL-MT-OSTEO-ALPHA) in non hypertrophic pseudoarthrosis of long bones.
