Clinical Trial Summary

The prevalence of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is reported to be between 3.4 - 4.9 cases per 100,000 population. The estimated average incidence is 0.6 - 0.7 cases per 100,000 people per year. Many patients are not diagnosed properly during their lifetime because of the difficulty in differentiating MSA from other disorders. Approximately 29 - 33% of patients with isolated late onset cerebellar ataxia and 8 - 10% of patients with parkinsonism will develop MSA. There are currently no therapies that can cure or stop the progression of the disease. The current pharmacological therapy is only to relieve symptoms. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are considered an efficient source of cells for therapy, because they can be safely harvested and transplanted to donors or patients, have low immunogenicity, and have broad therapeutic potential. Results from preliminary preclinical and clinical trials indicate the potential of MSC-based treatment in meeting several key aspects of neurodegeneration. Stem cell-based therapy for neurodegenerative diseases aims to stop clinical damage by regenerating and by providing local support for damaged tissue, in addition after transplantation, MSCs have been shown to be capable of penetrating the lesion area and thus have great potential use as a means of administering therapeutic agents. The subjects of this study were patients who experienced possible MSA based on the consensus clinical criteria for MSA. There will be three treatment groups with a total sample of 5 subjects each. Group 1 will receives MSC-Adipose Autologous with doses 2x50 million cells intratechally. Group 2 will receives MSC-Umbilical Cord Allogeneic with doses 2x 50 million cells intratechally. Group 3 will receives MSC-Umbilical Cord Allogeneic with doses 2x50 million cells intratechally and 2x10cc secretome MSC from Adipose Intravenously. Clinical improvement will be evaluated using the UMSARS scale, PET-Scans, MRI, DaTScan, IGF-1, BDNF, Sympathetic skin respons (SSR), EMG, Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS), High definition-Optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT), ERG, VEP, Log MAR chart, Ishihara test and side adverse effect on MSC. This study is divided into six timeframes : Before an implantation, First Month after second implantation, Third month after secondary implantation, Sixth month after second implantation, Ninth month after second implantation and Twelve month after second implantation. The differences between the test variables are then used as an indicator to assess clinical improvement within the subjects.

Intervention

Biological:
• Autologous Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cell Implantation
Before taking adipose tissue, each subject was screened including HbSAg, Anti HbS, Anti HCV, HIC, MCV and syphilis tests. Adipose tissue was taken through 5 grams of subcutaneous fat biopsy from the abdomen of each subject and put into a transport medium and then sent to the RSCM-FKUI cGMP IPT Stem Cells Laboratory for immediate isolation of mesenchymal stem cells. MSC that has been isolated will be cultured using the appropriate medium until it reaches the desired passage and the number of cells. The viability and proliferation ability of cultured cells were evaluated, then characterization of cell antigen expression was carried out using flow cytometry to confirm the success of MSC culture. The MSC to be injected into the subject will be prepared in 2cc physiological NaCl transport medium just before implantation. The adipose secretion used is prepared in whole form as much as 10cc in a 10cc syringe.
• Allogeneic Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Implantation
Before taking the umbilical cord tissue, a pregnant woman's donor was screened including HbSAg, Anti HbS, Anti HCV, HIC, MCV and syphilis tests. Immediately after delivery, the umbilical cord was collected and stored in a sterile specimen plate containing 0.9% NaCl at 4°C. The umbilical cord is transported to the GMP standard culture laboratory at the UPT TK Stem Cells RSCM-FKUI for isolation process of mesenchymal stem cells. Sample processing was carried out within 8 hours of delivery to maintain cell viability. MSC that has been isolated will be cultured using the appropriate medium until it reaches the desired passage and the number of cells. The viability and proliferation ability of cultured cells were evaluated, then characterization of cell antigen expression was carried out using flow cytometry to confirm the success of MSC culture. The MSC to be injected into the subject will be prepared in a suitable transport medium just prior to implantation.
• Allogeneic Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell and Adipose Secretome Implantation
Before taking adipose and umbilical cord tissue, each subject was screened. -For Adipose tissue : The adipose secretion used is prepared in whole form as much as 10cc in a 10cc syringe. -Uc-MSC : Immediately after delivery, the umbilical cord was collected and stored in a sterile specimen plate containing 0.9% NaCl at 4°C. The umbilical cord is transported to the GMP standard culture laboratory to have isolation process of mesenchymal stem cells. Sample processing was carried out within 8 hours of delivery to maintain cell viability. Later it will be cultured using the appropriate medium until it reaches the desired passage and the number of cells.The viability and proliferation ability of cultured cells were evaluated, then characterization of cell antigen expression was carried out using flow cytometry to confirm the success of MSC culture.
