Study Summary

This trial is testing whether using a person's own stem cells can help treat Ulcerative Colitis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 18-65 with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis that hasn't improved after trying at least two FDA-approved treatments. Participants must have a stable hemoglobin level, normal blood clotting, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with certain medical conditions like vasculitis, cancer history (except localized skin cancers), recent investigational drug use, partial colectomy, or significant allergies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of using adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cells from one's own body fat) in treating ulcerative colitis. Researchers will deliver these cells through an angiographic procedure to see if they can help heal ulcers in the colon.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the infusion of stem cells such as pain or swelling at injection site, fever, allergic reactions or immune system responses. Since this is a test for safety and feasibility, other unexpected side effects might also occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any enrolment slots available for this medical experiment?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov attests to this medical trial's recruitment status, which began on November 16th 2020 and was most recently modified on September 30th 2022. The study requires the enrollment of 20 patients from a single site."

Answered by AI

Is the age requirement for participants in this trial beyond forty years old?

"The age parameters for this medical trial are 18 to 65 years old. In addition, there are 70 trials specifically targeting minors and 347 studies focusing on a geriatric patient population."

Answered by AI

What is the total number of participants in this clinical trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this clinical trial is looking for enrollees, with the initial posting date being November 16th 2020 and last edit on September 30th 2022. The study requires 20 candidates from 1 centre to participate in the experiment."

Answered by AI

To what extent can autologous mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue be detrimental to health?

"As this is a phase 1 trial, and thus limited data exists regarding the safety and efficacy of adipose derived autologous mesenchymal stem cells, our team at Power assesses its risk level as a score of one."

Answered by AI

May I be admitted as a participant in this experiment?

"This trial is seeking twenty people between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five who are suffering from ulcerative colitis. To qualify, patients must have experienced persistent symptoms over a 12 week period while using FDA approved medications, passed an adapted Mayo Score of 5 - 9 points with an endoscopic sub score ranging 2 - 3, and failed at least two standard treatments. Concurrent therapies such as corticosteroids or anti-integrin drugs may be allowed in certain cases following medical evaluation. Furthermore, male and female participants must have undergone colonoscopy within the past year to exclude malignant pathologies."
