简要总结
This study evaluates the safety and therapeutic effects of single-dose human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) on the adult patients with moderate/severe Rheumatoid Arthritis accompany with anemia or/and Interstitial pulmonary disease. Half of participants will receive UC-MSCs and keep the present medication,while the other half will receive a placebo and keep the present medication.

研究组 & 干预措施
no UC-MSCs treatment
the participants will receive the placebo in combined with the present treatment.
UC-MSCs treatment
the participants will receive the single-dose UC-MSCs (1×10^6 cells/kg ) in combined with the present treatment.
干预措施: UC-MSCs (Biological)
结局指标
主要结局
Improvement rate of blood routine hemoglobin (HGB) compared to baseline.
时间窗: 24 weeks
The HGB increases by 10g compared to the baseline is considered improvement.
Improvement rate of forced vital capacity (FVC) and/or carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) compared to baseline.
时间窗: 24 weeks
FVC increases by 0.5% and DLCO increases by 10% compared to baseline are considered improvement.
次要结局
- Improvement rate of forced vital capacity (FVC) and/or carbon monoxide(12 weeks)
- Improvement rate of blood routine hemoglobin (HGB) compared to baseline.(12 weeks)
- Improvement of 6-minute walking distance compared to baseline.(12 weeks and 24 weeks)
- White blood cell count and platelet count improved compared to the baseline.(12 weeks and 24 weeks)
- The remission rates of American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20, ACR 50 and ACR 70.(12 weeks and 24 weeks)
- Image improvement of lung on high resolution CT.(24 weeks)
