Study summary

Patients qualified for this study are those diagnosed with ABCs and failed to be treated with other forms of classical therapies. In which, these patients will be engrafted with biodegradable scaffolds seeded with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) supplemented with Platelet lysate.

Read the detailed description

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are relatively rare, benign, tumor-like, expansile osteolytic lesions of unknown etiology which are predominantly found within the long bones and characterized by frequent idiopathic fractures. Despite the large variety of bone substitutes that have been used to fill these cystic lesions, to date there is no graft material which can be regarded as completely satisfactory, with a recurrence rate that ranges from 5-40% of treated cases. Autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells have been used previously to treat ABCs. Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffolds have been used in bone tissue engineering due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. Human platelet lysate (PL) contains a number of mitogenic growth factors and has been demonstrated to enhance mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) proliferation and expansion rate in vitro. This study is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of using PLGA scaffolds seeded with autologous bone marrow MSCs and supplemented with osteogenic media and platelet lysate in healing bone lesions of patients suffering from aneurysmal bone cysts. This study will be conducted at the Cell Therapy Center (CTC), Jordan. Four ABC cases will be included. Patients qualified for this study are those diagnosed with ABCs and failed to be treated with other forms of classical therapies; such as allografts or who are not candidate of autografts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]) as a result of the MSC-PLGA engraftment

    The safety of the engraftment will be monitored by assessing any adverse event resulting from the engraftment procedure

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effectiveness of using PLGA scaffolds seeded with autologous bone marrow MSCs by Radiograph

    Patients will be followed up radiographically to evaluate bone filling at the site of the ABC

    Time frame: 6 months

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 Jul 24, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
