Phase I Clinical Trial of UC-MSCs in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Summary
In recent years, the incidence rate and disability rate of osteoarthritis have continued to grow, and it has become a common chronic disease of elderly patients, second only to the "three highs", and poses a continuous threat to China's medical and health system and public health system. Knee osteoarthritis is the main type of osteoarthritis, ranking 11th in global disability diseases and 38th in disability adjusted life year loss, causing significant economic burden to patients, families, and society. At present, most of the treatment methods for KOA have limited efficacy, only relieving pain symptoms and cannot prevent cartilage damage and other tissue damage in the joints. Due to the limitations of adverse events, there is still no optimal treatment plan for KOA. Most studies believe that autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is a new treatment method with good efficacy and good repair effect for mild to moderate cartilage defects. Given that there is currently no optimal treatment plan for KOA, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection has potential development value and is of great significance for the treatment of KOA patients.

UC-MSCs
In this study, three dose groups are preset, which are low-dose group: 5×10\^6 cells/2.5mL; medium-dose group: 1×10\^7 cells/2.5mL; high-dose group: 2×10\^7cells/2.5mL, 9 to 18 subjects will be recruited, and will be sequential from the low-dose group to the high-dose group according to the "3+3" dose escalation principle. At least 3 subjects are enrolled in each group for the safety and tolerability test of single administration. After the last subject in each dose group completes the DLT observation period, the sponsor and the researcher jointly confirm the safety tolerance of the subjects in the previous dose group, and only after the safe tolerance is determined can the subjects enter the next dose group, so as to evaluate the safety and tolerance of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Recommend appropriate cell therapy dose (RP2D) for Phase II clinical trials.
