Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells Treatment for Ovarian Insufficiency

Clinical Study of Minimally Invasive Implantation of Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells in the Treatment of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

This project will investigate the safety and effectiveness of human amniotic epithelial cells in primary ovarian insufficiency patients and provide a new cell therapy against infertility.

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to women before the 40 years of age who suffer clinical manifestations of ovarian recession. Now, there is no exact and effective treatment to restore ovarian function. Human amniotic Epithelial cells (hAECs) are derived from human amniotic epithelium. hAECs retain the characteristics of embryonic stem cells, as well as a strong differentiation potential and plasticity. Experiments show that the fertility of mice is significantly improved after amniotic epithelial cells implantation. In order to further study the role of hAECs in POI treatment, this project will conduct minimally invasive implantation with hAECs in 20 cases of POI patients, and evaluate the changes of ovarian function and the safety of hAECs implantation. hAECs is prepared by Chongqing iCELL Biotechnology Co.,Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Shanghai iCELL Biotechnology Co.,Ltd.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Clinical diagnosis of POI, excluding genetic disease caused by patients; POI diagnostic criteria: Patients that <40 years of age, oligomenorrhea for 4 months,FSH> 25 IU/L.
2. Have fertility requirements;
3. Agree to sign the designed consent for the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Breast cancer, ovarian cancer and other cancer/tumor;
2. Contraindications for pregnancy;
3. Coagulation disorder and other abnormal physical conditions.
