Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell(hUC-MSC) for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells exhibit the potential to differentiate into chondrocyte and osteocyte, which have been confirmed in in vivo and in vitro experiments. There have been few clinical reports describing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
To investigate the effects of hUC-MSC treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis, 20 patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis will be enrolled and receive 4 times of hUC-MSC transplantation.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: hUC-MSC + DMARDs Patients will be treated in combination with hUC-MSC and DMARDs with a 12 months follow-up. |
Biological: hUC-MSC + DMARDs
Patients will be treated by conventional drugs (DMARDs) for alleviating disease. Combinated with a single dose of 2×107 hUC-MSC will treated to patients, IV, Repeat every weeks for four times.
