Brief summary
The primary objective:To evaluate the efficacy of different administration protocols of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients. The secondary objective:To evaluate the safety of different administration protocols of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients. The exploratory objective:To investigate the effects of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells on biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid in chronic periodontitis patients.
Detailed description
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled study, including three treatment groups which are single-dose group, two-dose group (low-dose), and two-dose group (high-dose). The patients of single-dose group will receive only one dose on day 1 (D1), and the patients of two-dose groups will receive one dose on D1 and D90 respectively. 68 participants will be enrolled in each group, and be randomized (3:1) to receive human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (hDP-MSCs) or placebo (normal saline). Participants in the single-dose group and the two-dose group (high-dose) will receive local injection of 1.0 × 107 hDP-MSCs (0.6mL normal saline suspension) / periodontal defect site or 0.6mL normal saline / periodontal defect site, and participants in the two-dose group (low-dose) will receive local injection of 1.0 × 106 hDP-MSCs (0.6mL normal saline suspension) / periodontal defect site or 0.6mL normal saline / periodontal defect site. All participants will receive basic periodontal treatment simultaneously. Dosing interval: the dosing interval is set at 89 days, which is based on the results of preclinical trials of hDP-MSCs, the improvement of periodontitis observed on D90 after hDP-MSCs administration, and good safety profile in phase 1 clinical trial.
Interventions
Investigational drugs: Based on the initial periodontal treatment (supragingival cleansing, subgingival scaling and root planning), human pulp stem cell injections will be given for a single or two local injection
