Study summary

A phase IIa, open label, non controlled clinical trial to assess the feasibility and safety of allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) in the treatment of cicatricial conjunctivitis associated with Lyell's syndrome, Stevens-Johnson's syndrome and mucous membrane pemphigoid with ocular involvement

Read the detailed description

A multicentre, nationwide clinical trial will be performed. 20 patients fulfilling eligibility criteria will be included in two different dose level cohorts: the first 10 patients included will receive a single cell application and the remainder 10 will be administered 2 cell applications separated by 15 days.

The investigational drug consists of locally administered, expanded, allogeneic adipose-derived adult mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs), at a dose of 5 million cells per ml (0,5 ml to be infused per quadrant)

Study cronogram: recruitment is estimated to take 8 months, and follow-up period will be 12 months.

In context

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

40 studies on the registry are indexed under Stevens-Johnson Syndrome; 8 are open to participants now.

This study's enrollment of 20 is close to the median of 20 across 24 interventional studies indexed under Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Men and women over 18 years of age.
  2. Diagnosis of ocular pemphigoid in Foster stages I-IIcIIIb (2) or diagnosis of recurrent chronic or episodic inflammation accompanied by cicatricial conjunctivitis of the mucous membranes with ocular involvement after the acute phase of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome or Lyell Syndrome with insufficient disease control or inaceptable toxicity or impossibility to administer usual care treatments (according to physician or patient criteria)
  3. In the case of women of childbearing age, who are willing to use an effective method during the period of participation in the study
  4. Consent to participate and signature of the

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Signs of active infection on the ocular surface.
  2. History of neoplasms in the last 5 years. except for epithelial basal or squamous cell carcinoma
  3. Allergy to local anesthetics
  4. Patients who have participated in another clinical trial with medication during the 90 days prior to signing the IC
  5. Medical or psychiatric illness of any kind that, in the opinion of the investigator, may be a reason for exclusion from the study.
  6. Congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies.
  7. Major surgery or serious trauma of the subject in the semester prior to signing the IC.
  8. Pregnant or lactating women.
  9. Impossibility or refusal to carry out the follow-up required in the study by the patient
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of complications

    Percentage of complications related to anesthesia, administration of investigational medicinal product and postoperative period.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Signs improvement

    Changes from baseline in scarring conjunctivitis rating scale

    Time frame: At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks

  2. Symptom improvement

    Changes from baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire (0-48). The lower the rate obtained in the score, better the outcome.

    Time frame: At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks

  3. Visual acuity improvement

    Changes from baseline in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) (0-1,2). The higher the rate obtained in the score, better the outcome.

    Time frame: At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks

  4. changes in quality of life

    Changes from baseline using the specific National Eye Institute-Visual Function Questionnaire 25 (NEI-VFQ-25) (0-100). The value of 0 is the lowest and 100 the best possible

    Time frame: At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks

  5. evolution of the conjunctival flora

    variation in the number and type of microorganisms in the conjunctival exudates, performing cultures and PCR herpes viridae

    Time frame: At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks

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 8, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
