hAESCs Prevent Acute Graft-versus-host Disease After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Clinical Study of hAESCs on Prevention of Acute Graft-versus-host Disease After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This is a parallel controlled clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of hAECs in preventing aGVHD after HSCT.

This study is a controlled trial, with 18 subjects enrolled in the experimental group or the control group. The study will consist of four phases, including screening phase, preparation phase, hAESCs treatment phase and observational follow-up period. The cell dose of the experimental group was 1x10^6 cells/kg and the control group is infused placebo (the composition was the same as hAESCs injection excipients, but did not contain hAESCs). The infusion of hAESCs/placebo at the day before HSCT and 7th days after HSCT.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Standard risk GVHD patients with hematological malignancies older than 18 years;
• High risk GVHD patients with hematological malignancies: haplotype hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients, donor is female or more than 30 years old;
• Well informed about this study and signed a consent form before the trial;
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≧ 50%, no evidence of pericardial effusion;
• No evidence of lung infection by X-rays examination;
• Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, Hematopoietic cell transplantation - specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) of 0, 1, 2;
• Normal liver and kidney function: Serum bilirubin≤35µmol/L, AST/ALT was less than 2 times the upper limit of normal value, and serum creatinine ≤130µmol/L

Exclusion Criteria:

• Reduce pretreatment dose or secondary transplantation;
• Participate other clinical trials within 2 months before this study;
• Female, 1) pregnant/nursing period, or 2) have a pregnancy plan during the study period, or 3) have fertility and cannot take effective contraception;
