Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed study is a controlled laboratory study where stem cell content of bone marrow aspirate will be compared prior to and following pharmaceutical mobilization. Participants who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will have a bone marrow sample taken from the iliac crest. The sample will be tested to determine stem cell content and for the presence of proteins which are of interest in orthopedic treatments. Thirty days following the baseline bone marrow collection, participants will receive a subcutaneous injection of Filgrastim daily for four serial days. On the fifth day, a peripheral blood sample will be taken and processed.


Description:

Orthopaedic practitioners have begun to augment surgical procedures and treat degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis, with injections of bone marrow aspirate. Clinical application studies have suggested that success is dependent upon the number of stem cells harvested and utilized. Pharmaceutical mobilization, with agents such as Filgrastim (Neupogen), followed by peripheral harvest of stem cells has supplanted bone marrow aspirate for hematologic oncologic clinical practice of stem cell transplant, with established safety and efficacy.

The proposed study is a controlled laboratory study where stem cell content of bone marrow aspirate will be compared prior to and following pharmaceutical mobilization using Filmgrastim (Neupogen). Participants will undergo a screening examination consisting of a physical examination and blood work. A standard venipuncture will be performed in the left or right arm and a 5.0 mL vacationer tube will be filled with blood and a 60 mL syringe pre-filled with anticoagulant will be filled with blood. The blood will be analyzed with flow cytometry, a histologic smear, a complete blood count (CBC) with white blood cell (WBC) differential, and chemokine/cytokine analyst with ELISA testing. The blood in the 60.0 mL syringe will be processed with the Arthrex Angel system. The buffy coat component of the blood will be analyzed.

On a separate day, participants who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will have a bone marrow sample taken from the iliac crest. The participant will lay on their side and 20 mL of 1% lidocaine will be injected into the anticipated incision site. A 1 cm incision in the skin, advancing a trotter into the bone marrow cavity, aspirating 5 cc of bone marrow with a 5 mL syringe and placement of the sample into a 5 mL vaccutainer syringe, and filling a 60.0 ml syringe pre-filled with 8 ml of citrate anticoagulant with bone marrow aspirate. The bone marrow in the 5 mL vaccutainer will be analyzed by flow cytometry, a histologic smear, a CBC with WBC differential, and chemokine/cytokine analysis with ELISA testing. The bone marrow in the 60.0 mL syringe will be processed with the Arthrex Angel system. The sample will be tested to determine stem cell content and for the presence of proteins which are of interest in orthopedic treatments.

Thirty days following the baseline bone marrow collection, participants will receive a subcutaneous injection of Filgrastim daily for four serial days. A blood sample of 5 mL will be collected each day of the injection to obtain a CBC and WBC differential. On the fifth day, a peripheral blood sample will be taken and processed following the same procedures as the first sample.

It is hypothesized that with a pharmaceutical mobilization method and the Arthrex Angel system, clinicians can harvest more stem cells than with bone marrow aspiration alone.
