An interventional study of mesenchymal stem cells and Pure platelet-rich plasma in Patellar Tendinopathy, sponsored by Institut de Terapia Regenerativa Tissular. Status unknown at 1 site in Spain. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 48 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-12-19.
Sponsored by Institut de Terapia Regenerativa Tissular · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a clinical trial, unicentric, prospective, controlled, randomized, double blind during the experimental phase A.
In the experimental phase B, it is contemplated to administer the experimental treatment to the subjects included in the group treated with P-PRP in the event that the first treatment would be significantly more effective, both from a clinical and regenerative point of view
Main objective
397 studies on the registry are indexed under Tendinopathy; 77 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 20 is below the median of 48 across 332 interventional studies indexed under Tendinopathy.

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.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients presenting positive serology in front of:
1 and 2, (HBsAg, HBcAc), (Anti-HCV-Ab), Lúes.
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.
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.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
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.
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 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.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Procedure: mesenchymal stem cells
Procedure: Pure platelet-rich plasma
Autologous bone marrow aspiration is used as a cellular source to obtain MSVs and is subjected to the protocolized anticoagulant procedure. After checking the perfect condition of the shipment and the correct completion of the documentation that accompanies it, the processing of the bone marrow will be carried out. The processing of the bone marrow will be done in the Cell Therapy Unit of the IBGM under NCF, within 24 hours of the completion of the aspiration
Under aseptic conditions, in surgical medium, 6 ml of P-PRP will be obtained from 36 ml of autologous peripheral venous blood sample. The plasma coagulation will be activated by the addition of Cl2Ca at a concentration of 5%.
Improvement in the tendon ecotexture
The patellar tendon will be examined longitudinally and transversely using gray scale and color, exerting a minimum pressure with the probe. Images will be recorded in static and dynamic formats to develop a consensus of the findings.
Time frame: 24 months
Presence of patellar tendon regeneration by the peritendinous and intratendinous infusion of MSV patellar tendinopathy compared to the P-PRP group
Using ECO, RMN and UTC (Ultrasound Tissue Characterisation)
Time frame: 24 months
the strength of the extensor muscle group
using dynamometry.
Time frame: 24 months
subjective clinical evolution of the patient
Using EVA and VISA-P (Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment (patelar)) questionnaries.
Time frame: 24 months
