Perform Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HLA-haplo-matched allogenic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in lupus nephritis patients
- Transfer lupus stem cell treatment technology to domestic pharmaceutical companies
- Apply and obtain approval for changes to the clinical trial plan
- Perform clinical trial with 3 cohorts, comprising a total of 9 patients selected for incremental dose escalation
- Completed First cohort study, second cohort study in progress
- Enroll 4 additional participants after acquiring emergency clinical trial enrollment approval in order to further evaluate the appropriate selection of participants to ensure success in follow-up clinical trials
- Establish protocol for long-term follow-up study and apply said protocol to current clinical study after obtaining approval
- Perform mechanistic studies using subjects’ immune cells and potential biomarkers for all clinical trial patients and emergency clinical trial patients
- Perform evaluations on the stability of pharmaceutical intermediates with respect to frozen storage duration during production (2 years)
Perform additional non-clinical studies
- Completed tumorigenicity test of HLA-haplo-matched bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells
Discovery of additional potency factors
- Perform multiplex and single factor analyses of cytokines secreted by HLA-haplo-matched bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells
Obtain data for Phase II clinical trials through studies of immunomodulatory mechanisms
- Establish evidence for evaluation of safety and efficacy of this treatment by measuring the changes of immune cells in patients’ blood samples
- Investigate the effect of administering this treatment in tandem with standard lupus therapy (steroids, immunosuppressants)
- Evaluate efficacy of treatment in MRL/lpr mouse model
