About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ischemic Stroke

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years or older.
  • Clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke for more than 6 months.
  • Imaging findings suggestive of ischemic stroke with functional deficits at initial diagnosis and enrollment.

  • NIHSS score between 6-20.
  • Life expectancy longer than 12 months.
  • Prior to treatment, the patient received standard medical care for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke, including but not limited to appropriate blood pressure and cholesterol control measures, use of antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants (except when prohibited).
  • Understand and provide signed informed consent, or have a designated legal guardian or spouse make such decision voluntarily on behalf of the subject.
  • Expected that the patient will receive standard medical care for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and participate in all planned safe follow-up visits reasonably.
  • Organ function as defined by the following criteria:

AST ≤ 2.5×ULN ALT ≤ 2.5×ULN TSB ≤1.5×ULN PT ≤1.25×ULN and PTT ≤1.25×ULN in subjects who did not receive antithrombotic therapy Serum albumin ≥ 3.0g/dL ANC ≥ 1,500/μL Platelets ≥ 150,000/μL Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0g/dL Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5×ULN Serum amylase or lipase ≤ 1.0×ULN

  • Myocardial infarction occurred within six months of study entry.
  • Any other medical problems of clinical significance, abnormal mental or test results that the investigator or sponsor determined participating in the study pose a safety risk to the subject.
  • Imaging findings suggestive of subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage in the past 12 months.
  • Participation in any study of experimental drug or device within 3 months.
  • Participation in other study related to stem cell-therapy.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence and severity of adverse events assessed by CTCAE V5.0 during the twelve-month study period after it-hMSC infusion.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Modified Rankin Scale

Mini-mental State Examination
The change from the baseline in Mini-mental State Examination will be calculated at month 1, month 3, month 6, month 9, month 12 post-treatment, as available. The range of scores is from 0 to 30 (normal).
Barthel Index
The change from the baseline in Barthel Index will be calculated at month 1, month 3, month 6, month 9, month 12 post-treatment, as available. The range of scores is from 0 to 100 (normal).
Geriatric Depression Scale
The change from the baseline in Geriatric Depression Scale will be calculated at month 1, month 3, month 6, month 9, month 12 post-treatment, as available. The range of scores is from 0 (normal) to 10.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of single injection of it-hMSC in patients with ischemic stroke in a multicenter, blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial
Detailed Description
Stroke is a leading cause of disability. According to the comprehensive standardized prevalence estimation in 2016, 12.42 million people older than 40 years in China are currently suffering from stroke or have ever suffered from stroke. The overall prevalence rate of stroke in China was 1,596 per 100,000 people in 2016, 4.6 times higher than the rate of 345.1 per 100,000 people in 2013 and 70% of the survivors have disabilities in varying degrees. In addition to rehabilitation therapy, there is no therapeutic drugs of remarkable curative effect for the treatment of ischemic stroke patients. The latest data show that the annual recurrence rate of ischemic stroke in China is as high as 17.7%. Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells have been used in many clinical studies for different diseases. In addition to differentiating into multiple cell types and promoting the recovery and repair of the brain by replacing damaged cells, mesenchymal stem cells also secrete cytokines and neurotrophic factors to support and stimulate the growth of other endogenous cells. Meanwhile, mesenchymal stem cells also have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions. These characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells provide a new therapy for the treatment of stroke.
