Allogenic Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma or Recurrent Astrocytoma in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy (NCT05789394)
Phase 1, Dose Escalation, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Allogenic Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AMSCs) for Recurrent Glioblastoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in treating patients with glioblastoma or astrocytoma that has come back (recurrent) who are undergoing brain surgery (craniotomy). Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive form of primary and malignant tumor of the brain. Currently, the standard of care for this disease includes surgical resection, followed by radiation with chemotherapy and tumor treating fields. Despite this aggressive therapy, the survival after finishing treatment remains low and the disease often reoccurs. Unfortunately, the available therapy options for recurrent glioblastoma are minimal and do not have a great effect on survival. AMSCs are found in body fat and when separated from the fat, are delivered into the surgical cavity at the time of surgery. When in direct contact with tumor cells, AMSCs affect tumor growth, residual tumor cell death, and chemotherapy resistance. The use of AMSCs delivered locally into the surgical cavity of recurrent glioblastoma during a craniotomy could improve the long-term outcomes of these patients by decreasing the progression rate and invasiveness of malignant cells.
