About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) in the treatment of Alport syndrome (AS) in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial, to provide a clinical basis for the development of stem cell products for the treatment of AS, and to further clarify the therapeutic effect of hUC-MSC in the treatment of AS.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

3 years old ≤Age ≤ 12 years old;

Treatments tested in this trial

  • hUC-MSC

    Biological/Vaccine

    This group of patients received a total of 2 peripheral intravenous Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) infusions during the treatment period on the basis of conventional symptomatic and supportive treatment. The interval between the two infusions was 14 days, and the single infusion dose was approximately 2×1000,000 cells/Kg. Conventional clinical treatment refers to symptomatic treatment with ACEI and ARB drugs.

  • Placebo control drug

    Drug

    This group of patients received a total of 2 intravenous infusions of normal saline (the same volume, specifications and batches used in the experimental group) as a placebo control during the treatment period on the basis of conventional symptomatic and supportive treatment. The interval between the two infusions was 14 days. Conventional clinical treatment refers to symptomatic treatment with ACEI and ARB drugs.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Urine protein remission rate

Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, and 12 months after the last hUC-MSC infusion. Urinalysis, 24-hour urine protein quantification, and urine protein/creatinine ratio were tested to evaluate the remission of urine protein after treatment.

Time frame
2 weeks to 12 months after treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

Hematuria remission rate

Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, and 12 months after the last hUC-MSC infusion. The urine abnormal red blood cell count of the children was tested to evaluate the remission of hematuria after treatment.

Time frame
2 weeks to 12 months after treatment
2

Renal function improvement rate

Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, and 12 months after the last hUCMSC infusion to measure the serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, serum cystatin C, glomerular filtration rate and other indicators of the children to evaluate the improvement of renal function after treatment.

Time frame
2 weeks to 12 months after treatment
