Premature Ovarian Failure
Conditions
Brief summary
Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells will be injected into patients diagnosed with premature ovarian failure
Detailed description
MSCs in passage-2 culture will be washed with PBS and detached with trypsin/EDTA (0.25%). After that, the cells will be suspended at a density of 20×106 cells/ 2 ml normal saline and loaded into 3 ml sterile syringes. The cells should be infused within 2 hours of release. Tests and follow up are to be monthly.
Interventions
Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (BMMSCs), dose 20 million cells/ovary

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] | 12 months | Treatment adverse events are defined by any adverse event leading to hospitalization, organ failure or death |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of patients with enhanced hormonal profile, ovarian changes and endometrial changes | 12 months | Efficacy will be measured comparing hormonal changes (FSH, LH, AMH, estradiol) in patients' blood on monthly intervals |
| Number of patients with positive ovarian changes | 12 months | Patients ultrasounds of the ovaries will compare size and follicle numbers |
| Number of patients with increased endometrial thickness | 12 months | Ultrasounds of uterus will be compared for endometrial thickness |
