A Double Blind Randomized Study Using Placenta Derived Decidual Stromal Cells for Hemorrhagic Cystitis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A prospective double blind randomized study comparing placenta derived decidual stromal cells with placebo for hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. It is hypothesized that the decidual stromal cell therapy will be superior to placebo.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Patients with grade 2-4 hemorrhagic cystitis will be randomized to receive either decidual stromal cell therapy at approximately 1x106 cells/kg or placebo on two occasions at weekly intervals. Patients not responsive within 2 weeks will receive decidual stromal cells at approximately 1x106 cells/kg openly.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Decidual Stromal cell therapy Decidual stromal cell therapy (approximately 1x10^6 cells/kg) for hemorrhagic cystitis in addition to Misoprostol therapy (0,2mg, 3 times/day) on two occasions at weekly intervals. |
Biological: Decidual stromal cells
Decidual stromal cells (approximately 1x10^6 cells/kg) will be infused intravenously.
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Receives placebo (masked i.v. infusion, same amount as an infusion of decidual stromal cells) in addition to Misoprostol therapy (0,2mg, 3 times/day). |
Biological: Placebo

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Days to disappearence of macroscopic hematuria or clots [1 month after inclusion]
Each day, patients fill out a form were they state whether they have macroscopic hematuria or not.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to disappearance of pain or urges [1 month after inclusion]
- Time to disappearance of microscopic hematuria [1 month after inclusion]
Each day patients, with the help of a urinary test stick, fill out a form were they state whether they have microscopic hematuria or not.
- Transplant related mortality [1 year after inclusion]
All mortality except relapse
- Incidence of severe infections [1 year after inclusion]
Incidence of severe bacterial, viral or fungal infections.
- Incidence of graft versus host disease [One year after inclusion]
- Overall actuarial survival [Actuarial]
