The Use of Expandeded Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) in Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) in Adult Humans
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells will be injected into patients diagnosed with premature ovarian failure
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
MSCs in passage-2 culture will be washed with PBS and detached with trypsin/EDTA (0.25%). After that, the cells will be suspended at a density of 20×106 cells/ 2 ml normal saline and loaded into 3 ml sterile syringes.
The cells should be infused within 2 hours of release. Tests and follow up are to be monthly.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [12 months]
Treatment adverse events are defined by any adverse event leading to hospitalization, organ failure or death
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of patients with enhanced hormonal profile, ovarian changes and endometrial changes [12 months]
Efficacy will be measured comparing hormonal changes (FSH, LH, AMH, estradiol) in patients' blood on monthly intervals
- Number of patients with positive ovarian changes [12 months]
Patients ultrasounds of the ovaries will compare size and follicle numbers
- Number of patients with increased endometrial thickness [12 months]
Ultrasounds of uterus will be compared for endometrial thickness
