简要总结
This is a single center pilot study designed to determine the safety and tolerability of autologous bone marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) in patients with xerostomia (dry mouth) after undergoing radiation therapy (XRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC). Up to 12 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 2 years.
详细描述
Following the completion of screening/baseline procedures, and written consent, eligible participants will undergo bone marrow aspirate in order to obtain MSCs.
The MSC Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) (dose level 0, n=6, staggered) will be injected into one submandibular gland under local anesthesia, in the gland that received the lowest radiation dose. Patients with only one submandibular gland will be ineligible.
All participants will be called by a study coordinator 3 days (+/- 2 days) after injection to assess pain and will have a phone visit with a physician 1 week (+/- 2 days) after injection during which the investigator will assess pain and ask about the area of injection regarding redness and/or swelling. All participants will complete a pain diary with daily entries over the first month to record the occurrence and severity of pain using a 0-10 visual analog scale and occurrence and severity of other adverse events (e.g., redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness, rash, pruritis, nausea, vomiting, fatigue). Participants will also keep a log of all pain medications taken including both narcotic and non-narcotic medications (e.g. ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc.) for the first month. Participants will complete 5 follow-up visits over the course of 24 months - at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months following the intervention. Salivary collection for analysis as well as QoL surveys will be obtained at these visits.
Dose Reduction:
- If dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in less than or equal to 1 participant (n=6 participants, staggered at least 14 days), Dose Level 0 will be recommended as starting dose for subsequent trial.
- If DLT in greater than 1 participant, dose level -1 will be administered, staggered at least 14 days in n=6 participants.
- If DLT in this cohort is in less than or equal to 1 participant, Dose Level -1 will be recommended as starting dose for subsequent trial. If DLT in greater than or equal to 2 participants, study will be stopped.

入选标准
- •Willing to provide informed consent
- •Willing to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study
- •Histological diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) and ≥ 2 years from completion of treatment for HNC, either clinically or radiologically No Evidence of Disease (NED), as assessed by ENT or Radiation Oncologist within 28 days of study registration
- •Individuals at least 18 years of age and no older than 90 years of age
- •Xerostomia defined as less than or equal to 80 percent of baseline (pre-radiation) salivary function per patient estimate
- •Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70, patient eligible for bone marrow aspirate with wakeful anesthesia
- •Radiographically confirmed bilateral submandibular glands
- •Females of childbearing potential must agree to have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to bone marrow biopsy. A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:
- •has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
- •has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months)
- •Women of childbearing potential in sexual relationships with men must have used an acceptable method of contraception for 30 days prior to study registration and agree to use an acceptable method of contraception until 4 weeks after completing study treatment. Males must agree to avoid impregnation of women during and for four weeks after completing study treatment through use of an acceptable method of contraception.
- •Note: Acceptable method of contraception includes, but is not limited to, barrier with additional spermicidal foam or jelly, intrauterine device, hormonal contraception (started at least 30 days prior to study enrollment), intercourse with men who underwent vasectomy)
排除标准

- •Patients with one submandibular gland
- •History of autoimmune diseases affecting salivary glands, including Sjögren's syndrome, lupus, scleroderma, type I diabetes, sarcoidosis, and amyloidosis
- •Chronic graft vs host disease
- •Untreated oral candidiasis
- •Use of anti-cholinergic medications (e.g. atropine, ipratropium, oxybutynin, scopolamine, solifenacin, tiotropium, etc…) while enrolled on study
- •Malignancy within the past 2 years, except adequately treated stage I lung cancer, low risk prostate cancer that has been treated or is undergoing active surveillance, adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, adequately treated ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), or adequately treated stage I cervical cancer
- •Expected life expectancy ≤ 6 months
- •Lidocaine allergy
- •Use of investigational drugs, biologics, or devices within 30 days prior to enrollment
- •Women who are pregnant, lactating or planning on becoming pregnant during the study
- •Not suitable for study participation due to other reasons at the discretion of the investigators
研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment with MSCs
A single dose of MSCs injected into the submandibular glands of patients with radiation-induced xerostomia (primary objective)
Following primary outcomes, a second injection of 10 (8 - 12) x 106 MSCs will be offered for injection into each participant's contralateral submandibular gland.
干预措施: Autologous bone-marrow derived, interferon gamma stimulated mesenchymal stromal cells (Biological)
