Study summary

Cellular therapies are rapidly progressing fields and have shown immense promise in the treatment of damaged ovarian function. The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of intra-ovarian injection of allogeneic HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold in women with Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) and to study the preliminary efficacy of HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold injection on ovarian function improvement.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic potency of the HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold transvaginal injection for POF women. The serum of each patient was kept and sent for laboratory test before the surgery. HUC-MSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro and the biomarkers of HUC-MSCs were detected using Flow cytometry detection. The HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold were then injected directly into bilateral ovaries. The outcomes of patients were examined after the injection. The patients are monitored for signs of follicle growth and growing follicles are stimulated with exogenous hormones, followed by oocyte retrieval and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and Tolerability assessed by Adverse Events

    Proportion of patients with postoperative infections and serious adverse events (SAEs) were assessed by long term follow-up.

    Time frame: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Antral follicle development

    The number of follicles developing was recorded by transvaginal ultrasound scan.

    Time frame: Once a week within 3 months after the surgery

  2. Estradiol (E2) serum level

    Serum E2 level was evaluated after surgery.

    Time frame: Once a week within 3 months after the surgery

  3. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) serum level

    Serum FSH level was evaluated after surgery.

    Time frame: Once a week within 3 months after the surgery

  4. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) serum level

    Serum AMH level was evelated after surgery.

    Time frame: Once a week within 3 months after the surgery

  5. Pregnancy rate

    The incidence of pregnancy following transfer of embryos produced from oocytes recovered from follicles developing was assessed by Serum Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) detection.

    Time frame: 2 weeks after embryo implantation
