Safety & Efficacy of UC-MSCs in Patients With Psoriasis Vulgaris

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris. Any adverse events related to UC-MSCs infusion will be monitored and the patients will be assessed by Psoriasis Activity and Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in the baseline and after MSCs infusions.

Clinical Trial Description

Psoriasis is considered as an incurable immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. The widely used treatments include topical agents, systemic medications and biologic agents, but all of them have some drawbacks or limitations. Besides, non-standardized treatment or the disease itself may lead transformation to other diseases, which add more importance to finding improved management strategies.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous population of cells that can differentiate into bone, cartilage and fat cells. They have several functions, such as migration to skin lesions, immunomodulation, limitation of autoimmunity and local paracrine effects. It reported MSCs have already been used in some kinds of autoimmune disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis, crohn disease, rheumatoid arthritis et al.

In this study, consenting umbilical cords are donated by healthy donors. After several processing steps, UC-MSCs are separated and froze for future infusions. When volunteers are recruited, their condition will be assessed by Psoriasis Activity and Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Then MSCs will be infused according to a standard scheme. After all 6 infusions, the patient will be re-assessed by the PASI and DLQI and will be followed up for one year. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

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.
