Chronic Conjunctivitis, Lyell Syndrome, Pemphigoid, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
A phase IIa, open label, non controlled clinical trial to assess the feasibility and safety of allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) in the treatment of cicatricial conjunctivitis associated with Lyell's syndrome, Stevens-Johnson's syndrome and mucous membrane pemphigoid with ocular involvement
Detailed description
A multicentre, nationwide clinical trial will be performed. 20 patients fulfilling eligibility criteria will be included in two different dose level cohorts: the first 10 patients included will receive a single cell application and the remainder 10 will be administered 2 cell applications separated by 15 days. The investigational drug consists of locally administered, expanded, allogeneic adipose-derived adult mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs), at a dose of 5 million cells per ml (0,5 ml to be infused per quadrant) Study cronogram: recruitment is estimated to take 8 months, and follow-up period will be 12 months.
Interventions
DRUGSingle Dose
Single Dose: Administration of 12,5 million allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue by subcnjunctival injection and topical conjunctival injection.
DRUGDouble Dose
Repetead Dose: Administration of 2 doses, separated by 14 days, of 12,5 million allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue by subcnjunctival injection and topical conjunctival injection.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of complications | Through study completion, an average of 3 years | Percentage of complications related to anesthesia, administration of investigational medicinal product and postoperative period. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Signs improvement | At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks | Changes from baseline in scarring conjunctivitis rating scale |
| Symptom improvement | At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks | Changes from baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire (0-48). The lower the rate obtained in the score, better the outcome. |
| Visual acuity improvement | At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks | Changes from baseline in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) (0-1,2). The higher the rate obtained in the score, better the outcome. |
| changes in quality of life | At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks | Changes from baseline using the specific National Eye Institute-Visual Function Questionnaire 25 (NEI-VFQ-25) (0-100). The value of 0 is the lowest and 100 the best possible |
| evolution of the conjunctival flora | At 7 days (and 21 days in the 2-dose group), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks | variation in the number and type of microorganisms in the conjunctival exudates, performing cultures and PCR herpes viridae |
