Safety and Efficacy Trial Using Allogeneic Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells: The SIRONA Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a phase 2b, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells (LMSCs) in subjects with metabolic syndrome and to assess the effects of LMSCs on endothelial function using several different doses.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells (LMSCs) in subjects with metabolic syndrome and to assess the effects of LMSCs on endothelial function using several different doses. Following a successful run-in phase, a total of forty (40) subjects will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive one of three different doses of LMSCs or placebo. After randomization, baseline imaging, testing and study product infusion, subjects will be followed up at 24 hours, month 1, month 3, month 6, month 9 and month 12 post study product infusion. All endpoints will be assessed at the 3, 6 and 12 month visits which will occur 90±30 days, 180±30 days, and 365±30 days respectively from the day of the study product infusion (Day 1). For the purposes of the endpoint analysis and safety evaluations, an "intent-to-treat" study population will be utilized.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Endothelial function: Changes in endothelial function as assessed by the following: [1 month post infusion]
Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD). Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Difference in rate of change in the metabolic syndrome as defined by the following: [Baseline, 3 month, 6 month and 12 months.]
Endothelial function (FMD, EPC function) Inflammatory markers (CBC with differential, TNFα, CRP, IL-1, IL-6, D-dimer, Fibrinogen) Heart function and structure (Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography) Blood pressure Lipid profile (HDL; LDL; triglycerides; cholesterol) Physical activity (6 minute walk test and CHAMPS questionnaire) Lung function (spirometry) Glycemia (hemoglobin A1c;fasting glucose; urine glucose) Weight Subject quality of life (QOL) (QOL assessments).
