This study is a clinical trial on the treatment of acute ischemic stroke using adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The final results showed that the treatment was safe at 24 months of follow-up.
Acute ischemic stroke is currently a major cause of disability despite improvement in recanalization therapies. Stem cells represent a promising innovative strategy focused on reduction of neurologic sequelae by enhancement of brain plasticity. We performed a phase IIa, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center, pilot clinical trial. Patients aged >= 60 years with moderate to severe stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] 8-20) were randomized (1:1) to receive intravenous adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) or placebo within the first 2 weeks of stroke onset. The primary outcome was safety, evaluating adverse events (AEs), neurologic and systemic complications, and tumor development. The secondary outcome evaluated treatment efficacy by measuring modified Rankin Scale (mRS), NIHSS, infarct size, and blood biomarkers. We report the final trial results after 24 months of follow-up. Recruitment began in December 2014 and stopped in December 2017 after 19 of 20 planned patients were included. Six patients did not receive study treatment: two due to technical issues and four for acquiring exclusion criteria after randomization. The final study sample was composed of 13 patients (4 receiving AD-MSCs and 9 placebo). One patient in the placebo group died within the first week after study treatment delivery due to sepsis. Two non-treatment-related serious AEs occurred in the AD-MSC group and nine in the placebo group. The total number of AEs and systemic or neurologic complications was similar between the study groups. No injection-related AEs were registered, nor tumor development. At 24 months of follow-up, patients in the AD-MSC group showed a nonsignificantly lower median NIHSS score (interquartile range, 3 [3-5.5] vs 7 [0-8]). Neither treatment group had differences in mRS scores throughout follow-up visits up to month 24. Therefore, intravenous treatment with AD-MSCs within the first 2 weeks from ischemic stroke was safe at 24 months of follow-up.
