Decidual Stromal Cells as last line treatment

Decidual Stromal Cells

Arm Description

Patients with therapy-refractory GVHD and on calcineurin inhibitor and high dose corticosteroids without any signs of improvement will be given DSCs to evaluate a possible effect. DSCs will be thawed from the freezer in plasma.

Patients with therapy-refractory GVHD and on calcineurin inhibitor and high dose corticosteroids will be given DSCs as early as possible at one or more occasions at weekly intervals dependent on clinical response. DSCs will be thawed from the freezer in plasma.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Actuarial survival at six months after first DSC infusion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Response at 28 days after onset of graft versus host disease
Response will be measured as: Partial response (PR) if the patient has improved one grade in the overall GvH. Complete response (CR) if the patient is free of GvH. Non responder (NR) if the patient does not improve after treatment.
Response at 84 days after onset of graft versus host disease
Response will be measured as: Partial response (PR) if the patient has improved one grade in the overall GvH. Complete response (CR) if the patient is free of GvH. Non responder (NR) if the patient does not improve after treatment.
Response at 168 days after onset of graft versus host disease
Response will be measured as: Partial response (PR) if the patient has improved one grade in the overall GvH. Complete response (CR) if the patient is free of GvH. Non responder (NR) if the patient does not improve after treatment.
Side effects
Adverse effects related to the treatment.
Incidence of severe infections
Severe bacterial, viral and fungal infections.
Disease free survival
Survival free from relapse.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy using decidual stromal cell therapy for graft versus host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The hypothesis to be tested is that the cells are safe to infuse and that they have a positive clinical effect.
Detailed Description
Patients with GVHD grade 2-4, will receive decidual stromal cells at approximately 1-2x10^6 cells/kg at one or more occasions dependent on clinical response.
