Mesenchymal Stem Cell + Islet Transplant for Chronic Pancreatitis

Phase 1
Recruiting
Led By Hongjun Wang
Research Sponsored by Medical University of South Carolina
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
≥18 years old
Diagnosis of CP and scheduled for TP-IAT
Must not have
Patients who have liver damage based on ALT, AST, and total bilirubin levels (>3 times normal levels)
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 1 year

Summary

This trial is for CP patients who are having their pancreas removed. They will be given either MSCs or the standard of care. They will be followed for a year afterwards.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with chronic pancreatitis, scheduled for a specific surgery (TP-IAT), and have not had major pancreatic surgeries or diabetes before the surgery. It's not for those with significant liver damage, prior certain pancreatic surgeries that affect islet yield, or women who are pregnant/breastfeeding. People under immunosuppression are also excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests if bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells can help patients recovering from TP-IAT surgery compared to the standard care without these cells. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the stem cells or a placebo and monitored for one year.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of receiving mesenchymal stem cells may include immune system reactions, infection risk at injection site, and possible influence on tumor growth although rare. The exact side effects in this context are still being studied.
