Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of repeated intravenous infusions of UC-MSC 5*106 cells/kg in preterm patients ≤ 28 weeks gestational age and ≤ 1250g weight.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. To observe the incidence of severe BPD or death at 36 weeks PD. To observe the incidence of death at 36 and 40 weeks PD and at discharge. To observe the incidence of complications of prematurity. To investigate changes in markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and lung damage. To analyze echocardiographic variations in pulmonary hypertension before and after. Variation of modified respiratory status score and RSS score during therapy and up to 36 weeks EP. Observe the need for supplemental O2 at home discharge and at 18 months and the duration of invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation. To evaluate the use of postnatal corticosteroids as treatment/prevention of BPD. To analyze the rate of readmissions in the first year due to respiratory causes. To evaluate the Bayley developmental scale of infants and young children at 24 months of age. Safety, feasibility and explore efficacy.
