Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Total number of adverse events in the 3 months prior to MSC infusion and the number of adverse events 3 months after MSC infusion. To offer an effective alternative for that category of JIA patients that is therapy-resistant. For this effectiveness the ACR Pediatric 70 criteria should be achieved. The ACR Pedi 70 criteria are defined as improvement of >= 70% in at least 3 of 6 core response variables used to assess disease activity with no more than 1 variable worsening by >= 30%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The ACR Pediatric 30 criteria should be met. The ACR Pedi 30 criteria are defined as improvement of ≥ 30% in at least 3 of 6 core response variables used to assess disease activity with no more than 1 variable worsening by ≥ 30%. Core response variables are: 1. Physician global assessment of overall disease activity 2. Parent or patient global assessment of overall well-being 3. Functional ability (CHAQ) 4. Number of joints with active arthritis 5. Number of joints with limited range of motion 6. Index of inflammation: ESR or CRP - Radiological (MRI) improvement of most active large joint. - Improvement in laboratory parameters or biomarkers. | — |
