Mechanisms of treatment effects using allogeneic, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) in knee osteoarthritis: a pharmacological clinical study protocol.
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) presents a prevalent orthopedic condition causing substantial impairment in the quality of life and imposing a significant societal and economic burden. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs), known for their regenerative properties and immunomodulatory effects, have emerged as a promising therapeutic avenue in regenerative medicine. Despite MSCs' therapeutic potential, their precise mechanisms of action in KOA remain underexplored.
Methods: Conducted as a randomized, open-label clinical trial, 20 patients will be enrolled, with 10 in the intervention group and 10 in the control group. The primary focus will be to explore the molecular mechanisms associated with MSC therapy. Biomarkers and gene expressions related to cartilage metabolism, inflammation, immune modulation, and pain in the synovial fluid, blood, and tissue samples will be analyzed. Patients will undergo pre- and post-treatment evaluations using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and comprehensive clinical assessments.
Discussion: This is an exploratory study with the goal to provide comprehensive insights into the therapeutic effects of MSCs on a molecular level, potentially paving the way for optimized and more effective MSC-based therapies in the management of KOA, as well as furthering the development of novel treatment strategies.
Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT06078059. Registered on 5 October 2023.
期刊介绍:
Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
