Metaphyseal Fibrous Defect clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT02307435 Recruiting - Non Union Fracture Clinical Trials

Allogenic Mesenchymal Stem Cell for Bone Defect or Non Union Fracture

AMSC

Start date: August 2014
Phase: Phase 0
Study type: Interventional

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is one kind of stem cell which is gained form adult tissue. Although MSC derived from autogenic bone marrow are proven to help regeneration in non union fracture and long bone defect, the aspiration process through iliac crest is invasive and painful. Therefore, alternative source of MSC which is less invasive is needed. Adipose and umbilical cord is a "waste product" that proven to contain enormous MSC. Furthermore adipose and umbilical cord as an allogenic source is more abundant in number compares to autogenic bone marrow. This enormous source need and adequate preservation technique before applied to the patient. According to that, researchers want to explore the potency of MSC from bone marrow, umbilical cord and adipose as the source of allogenic MSC and the effect of cryopreservation technique to the viability and quality of MSC. We will also compare the effectivity of MSC implantation from bone marrow, umbilical cord and adipose applied to non union fracture and long bone defect. Samples from bone marrow, umbilical cord and adipose are cultured and the viability of the cells are observed. Some of the cells are implanted directly to the patient with non union fractures and long bone defect while some are cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen -190 degree Celsius in three months. All samples are thawed and the viability of the cells are observed. Patient who are implanted by MSC allogenic will undergo clinical and radiological examination in the third, sixth and twenty second month after implantation.
