Study Summary

This trial aims to test if injecting a type of cells called mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), produced in your bone marrow, into your salivary glands can help improve dry

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with dry mouth due to conditions like Graft-versus-Host Disease or Sjögren's Syndrome. Participants will have bone marrow collected, undergo an ultrasound of their salivary glands, fill out questionnaires, and receive an injection of their own bone marrow cells into a salivary gland.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing the safety and potential benefits of injecting mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) at two different dose levels directly into the salivary glands to see if it can improve symptoms of dry mouth in patients.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include discomfort or pain at the bone marrow collection site or injection site, swelling or infection in the salivary glands, and general reactions such as fever or fatigue.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Proportion of participants experiencing DLT as pre-specified toxicities

Proportion of participants experiencing DLT as serious adverse events (AEs)

Proportion of participants experiencing DLT of submandibular pain

Secondary outcome measures

Change in salivary function-rate of salivary production

3Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: MSCs Dose Level 0 into one submandibular glandActive Control1 Intervention

6 subjects will receive Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) at Dose Level 0, which is 10 (8-12) x10^6 MSCs in a single submandibular gland. If this dose is deemed tolerable when injected into a single submandibular gland, this dose will be administered to both submandibular glands in the initial subjects in the dose escalation arm.

Group II: MSCs into both submandibular glands - Dose Escalation CohortActive Control2 Interventions

8-18 subjects in the Dose Escalation phase of study will receive MSCs into both submandibular glands. The initial subjects in this cohort will receive Dose Level 0: 10 (8-12) x10^6 MSCs/gland. If this dose is tolerated, subsequent subjects will receive Dose Level 1: 20 (16-24) x10^6 MSCs/gland. The highest tolerated dose (recommended phase II dose or RP2D) will be administered to the subjects in the Expansion Cohort.

Group III: MSCs into both submandibular glands - Expansion CohortActive Control2 Interventions

12 subjects in Expansion Cohort will receive MSCs into both submandibular glands at the RP2D.

However, amidst the inactive status of this trial, it's noteworthy that there are currently 221 other trials actively seeking patient participation."

Answered by AI

Is there an age restriction for participants to be considered in this study?

"Individuals aged 18 years or older, but under the age of 90, are eligible for enrollment in this study."

Answered by AI

Is the administration of MSCs at Dose Level 0 into a single submandibular gland approved by the FDA?

"Our team at Power rates the safety of MSCs Dose Level 0 administration into a single submandibular gland as 1 due to the preliminary nature of this Phase I trial, indicating limited available data on both safety and efficacy."
