Brief Summary:
The goal of this phase I/II clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous infusion of human allogeneic bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell product StromaForte in patients with aging frailty. The main questions it aims to answer are:
To assess the safety and tolerability after 28 days of injection by reporting the number of adverse events assessed by Common Terminology Criteria For Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Observe the change in inflammatory markers from baseline to 6 months (baseline to 28, 84, and 168 days post-infusion.)
Participants will receive 100 x 106 allogeneic bone marrow (BM)-derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cell (MSC) formulated in sodium chloride supplemented with human serum albumin to be given via slow intravenous infusion 100 million cells in approximately 30 min
Detailed Description:
Frailty is a geriatric syndrome characterized by weakness, weight loss, and low activity that is associated with adverse health outcomes. One major factor proposed to contribute to frailty and related epigenetic dysregulation is stem cell loss. In order to treat this multifactorial dysregulation, stem cell therapy is an interesting strategy, and MSCs are a particularly tempting candidate. MSCs are an immune-privileged somatic progenitor cell type that is multipotent, self-renewing, and relatively simple to harvest (bone marrow harvest), isolate, and grow. MSCs are proven to regulate the body's immune response in many diseases and exert anti-inflammatory effects. These immunomodulatory properties are mediated via paracrine mechanisms. Following their discovery over 50 years ago, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have become one of the most studied cellular therapeutic products by both academia and industry due to their regenerative potential and immunomodulatory properties. The promise of MSCs as a therapeutic modality has been demonstrated in a number of preclinical data as well as in clinical setting. StromaForte cells which will be used in this study are developed within CELLCOLABS AB and were generated following the same protocol established over the last 20 years by scientists CELLCOLABS AB at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. MSCs showed a very promising effect in patients including vocal folds, GVHD, ARDS, multiple sclerosis and recently in patients severely infected with COVID virus The currently completed in vivo studies on rats, rabbits and mice models showed that MSCs could attenuate sarcopenia via increasing skeletal muscle weight and myofiber cross-sectional area. The physical performance including muscle strength aswell as endurance were significantly enhanced. In addition, MSCs have the capability to activate resident skeletal muscle stem cells, which lead to myogenesis and differentiation of muscle tissues. The positive results provide novel insights into sarcopenia intervention, suggesting a potential role for MSC therapy in aging frailty as well as injected doses allogeneic human BM derived MSCs were well tolerated with no treatment-related deaths, biological or neurological changes. No tumor of human origin was detected up to 6 months following administration. These studies demonstrated safety and tolerability of the MSCs. Based on the above results of preclinical studies, it is planned to conduct this study which has been designed to evaluate the safety of intravenous human allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell product StromaForte in frail patients before further clinical development.
