Study summary

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have been shown to have immunosuppressive and repairing properties. Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) have revascularization properties and complimentary effects to MSCs. The investigators will infuse expanded autologous MSCs and BMMNCs into patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The study purpose is to examine whether this treatment will result in improvement in osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Read the detailed description

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have been shown to have immunosuppressive and repairing properties. Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) have revascularization properties and complimentary effects to MSCs. Patients in this study will receive infusion of expanded autologous MSC and BMMNCs. The puncture of femoral artery will be conducted with digital subtraction angiography(DSA), and the tubes will be inserted into medial femoral circumflex artery,lateral femoral circumflex artery and obturatou artey. The study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MSC infusion in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. This study will last for 5 years. Patients will undergo infusions at Day 0. Afterward, patients will be evaluated for response, and undergo X-ray examination, CT and MR scanning at a 6-month interval.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Ages: 12 to 60 years old.
  • Association Research Circulation Osseous(ARCO) Classification criteria for osteonecrosis of the femoral head: ARCO phase I and phase II.
  • Able to give .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women.
  • Previous history of
  • Active infection including , , , or TB as determined by a positive skin test or clinical presentation, or under treatment for suspected TB.
  • Evidence of cardiovascular disease, existing congestive cardiac failure on physical exam and/or acute coronary syndrome in the past 6 months.
  • Psychiatric illness or mental deficiency making compliance with treatment or impossible.
  • Any illness that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the ability of the Patient to tolerate this treatment.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 10, 2012, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
