A First-in-Human Study of XSTEM-OA in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

A First-in-Human Open-Label Phase 1/2a Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of a Single Intra-Articular Injection of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Selected for Integrin α10β1 (XSTEM-OA) in Adult Patients With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis

Conditions

Osteoarthritis, Knee

Brief summary

The aim of the study is to assess safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of XSTEM-OA when administered as a single intra-articular injection to patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The study is divided into two parts; a dose escalation (Part A) and an optional dose expansion part (Part: B). Three dose levels are planned to be evaluated in Part A and selected dose level(s) may be further expanded in Part B.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALXSTEM-OA

XSTEM-OA is an allogeneic, adipose tissue-derived, integrin alpha10beta1-selected and expanded mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) product for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Inclusion criteria

Major inclusion criteria: * Aged ≥40 and ≤75 years at Screening * Radiological evidence of predominantly medial osteoarthritis in the knee, uni- or bilateral, of KL grade II to III * Moderate to severe pain associated with osteoarthritis in the knee as measured by a VAS pain score of ≥35 and ≤90 mm Major

Exclusion criteria

* Body mass index (BMI) of ≥35 at Screening * Ongoing signs or symptoms of systemic or local infection * Known knee infection in the study knee within 6 months of Screening * History of clinically relevant concomitant joint disease, clinically-relevant knee deformities, or any clinically significant medical history of the ligament, or realignment surgery or joint replacement surgery * Medical history of any autoimmune disease * History of surgery in the study knee that occured within 6 months of Screening * Treatment with immunosuppressive therapy (systemic or local) or any medication affecting the bone or cartilage metabolism within 6 months of Screening * Patients who are immunocompromised as caused by a disease

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety and tolerability: Adverse events (AEs)From start of study until 24 months after injectionIncidence, nature and severity of treatment-related AEs assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Safety and tolerability: Vital signsFrom start of study until 18 months after injectionChanges in vital signs compared to baseline. Vital signs include blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate and oral body temperature.
Safety and tolerability: Physical examinationsFrom start of study until 18 months after injectionChanges in physical examination compared to baseline.
Safety and tolerability: Laboratory examinationsFrom start of study until 18 months after injectionChanges in laboratory tests compared to baseline. The clinical laboratory tests include haematology, chemistry, coagulation and urinalysis.
Safety and tolerability: 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)From start of study until 18 months after injectionChange in 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) compared to baseline.
