Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells to treat spinal cord injury in the early chronic phase: study protocol for a prospective, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blinded clinical trial

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs)support revascularization,inhibition of inflammation,regulation of apoptosis,and promotion of the release of beneficial factors.Thus,they are regarded as a promising candidate for the treatment of intractable spinal cord injury(SCI).Clinical studies on patients with early chronic SCI(from 2 months to 1 year post-injury),which is clinically common,are rare;therefore,we will conduct a prospective,multicenter,randomized,placebo-controlled,single-blinded clinical trial at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University,West China Hospital of Sichuan University,and Shanghai East Hospital,Tongji University School of Medicine,China.The trial plans to recruit 66 early chronic SCI patients.Eligible patients will undergo randomization at a 2:1 ratio to two arms:the observation group and the control group.Subjects in the observation group will receive four intrathecal transplantations of stem cells,with a dosage of 1×106/kg,at one calendar month intervals.Subjects in the control group will receive intrathecal administrations of 10 mL sterile normal saline in place of the stem cell transplantations.Clinical safety will be assessed by the analysis of adverse events and laboratory tests.The American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)total score will be the primary efficacy endpoint,and the secondary efficacy outcomes will be the following:ASIA impairment scale,International Association of Neural Restoration-Spinal Cord Injury Functional Rating Scale,muscle tension,electromyogram,cortical motor and cortical sensory evoked potentials,residual urine volume,magnetic resonance imaging–diffusion tensor imaging,T cell subtypes in serum,neurotrophic factors and inflammatory factors in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid.All evaluations will be performed at 1,3,6,and 12 months following the final intrathecal administration.During the entire study procedure,all adverse events will be reported as soon as they are noted.This trial is designed to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of subarachnoid transplantation of hUC-MSCs to treat early chronic SCI.Moreover,it will establish whether cytotherapy can ameliorate local hostile microenvironments,promote tracking fiber regeneration,and strengthen spinal conduction ability,thus improving overall motor,sensory,and micturition/defecation function in patients with early chronic SCI.This study was approved by the Stem Cell Research Ethics Committee of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University,China(approval No.[2018]-02)on March 30,2018,and was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov(registration No.NCT03521323)on April 12,2018.The revised trial protocol(protocol version 4.0)was approved by the Stem Cell Research Ethics Committee of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University,China(approval No.[2019]-10)on February 25,2019,and released on ClinicalTrials.gov on April 29,2019.

Clinical Trial Phases

Developers of drugs, biologicals, and medical devices must ensure product safety, demonstrate medical benefit in people, and mass produce the product. Preclinical development starts before clinical trials and the main goals are to determine safety and effectiveness of the intervention. If preclinical studies show that the therapy is safe and effective, clinical trials are started. Clinical trial phases are steps in the research to determine if an intervention would be beneficial or detrimental to humans and include Phases 0, I, II, III, IV, and V clinical studies. Understanding the basis of clinical trial phases will help researchers plan and implement clinical study protocols and, by doing so, improve the number of therapies coming to market for patients.

Using Intelligent Screening Service Platform(ISSP)to Improve the Screening Process of Clinical Trial Subjects during COVID-19 Pandemic:An Experimental Study

Background:During the COVID-19 pandemic,clinical trial recruitment could not be carried out due to travel restrictions,transmission risks and other factors,resulting in the stagnation of many ongoing or upcoming clinical trials.Objective:An intelligent screening tool was developed using artificial intelligence technology to rapidly prescreen potential patients for phase I solid tumor drug clinical trials.Methods:A total of 429 screening process records were collected from 27 phase I solid tumor drug clinical trials at the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from April 2018 to May 2021.Features of the experimental data were analyzed,and the collinearity(principal component analysis)and strong correlation(χ^(2)test)among features were eliminated.XGBoost,random forest,and naive Bayes were used to determine the weight importance of the features.Finally,prescreening models were constructed using a classification machine learning algorithm,and the optimal model was selected.Results:Among the 429 screening records,33 were generated by repeated subject participation in different clinical trials,and of the remaining 396 screening records,246(62.12%)were screened successfully.The gold standard for subject screening success was the final judgment made by the principal investigator(PI)based on the clinical trial protocol.A Venn diagram was used to identify the important feature intersections of the machine learning algorithms.After intersecting the top 15 characteristic variables of the different feature screening models,9 common variables were obtained:age,sex,distance from residence to the central institution,tumor histology,tumor stage,tumorectomy,interval from diagnosis/postoperative to screening,chemotherapy,and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)score.To select the optimal subset,the 9 important feature variables were expanded to 12 and 15 feature subsets,and the performance of different feature subsets under different machine learning models was validated.The results showed that optimal performance,accuracy and practicability were achieved using XGBoost with the 12-feature subset.The final model could accurately predict the screening success rates in both internal(AUC=0.895)and external(AUC=0.796)validation and has been transformed into a convenient tool to facilitate its application in clinical settings.Subjects with a probability exceeding or equal to the threshold in the final model had a greater probability of being successfully screened.Conclusion:Based on the optimal model,we created an online prediction calculator and visualization app,the Intelligent Screening Service Platform(ISSP),which can rapidly screen patients for phase I solid tumor drug clinical trials.The IsSP can effectively solve the problems of space and time intervals.On the mobile terminal,matching between clinical trial projects and patients can be achieved,and the rapid screening of clinical trial subjects can be completed to obtain more clinical trial subjects.As an auxiliary tool,the ISSP optimizes the screening process of clinical trials and provides more convenient services for clinical investigators and patients.

PHASE II CLINICAL TRIAL OF LASTET CAPSULE IN COMBINATION CHEMOTHERAPY OF MALIGNANT TUMORSIN CHINA

This study reports the efficacy of prolonged administration of oral etoposide in the treatment of 86 cases with solid tumor,malignant lymphoma and other cancer.The oral etoposide used was the Lastet capsule (Las-c).An overall response rate(RR)of 62.8% was achieved with CR rate being 23.3% and PR rate 39.5%. Different combination chemotherapy regimens led to different response rates but no significant difference was found. The Las-C containing regimens used in this study have not caused any serious side effects.

Progress in phase III clinical trials of molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy for glioblastoma

Glioblastoma(GBM)is the most common primary central nervous system tumor,whose prognosis remains poor under the sequential standard of care,such as neurosurgery followed by concurrent temozolomide radiochemotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy in the presence or absence of tumor treating fields.Accordingly,the advent of molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy has opened a new era of tumor management.A diverse range of targeted drugs have been tested in patients with GBM in phase III clinical trials.However,these drugs are ineffective for all patients,as evidenced by the fact that only a minority of patients in these trials showed prolonged survival.Furthermore,there are several published phase III clinical trials that involve immune checkpoint inhibitors,peptide vaccines,dendritic cell vaccines,and virotherapy.Accordingly,this review comprehensively overviews existing studies of targeted drugs and immunotherapy for glioma and discusses the challenge and perspective of targeted drugs and immunotherapy for glioma to clarify future directions.

Quality Management Model for Phase I Clinical Drug Trials:A Structural Equation Model

This study aimed to construct a quality management model for phase I clinical drug trials.A cross-sectional survey was conducted and data were collected from 604 respondents at 69 institutions in China engaged in phase I clinical drug trials.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to develop the survey tool.Structural equation modeling was used to construct a quality management model for phase I clinical drug trials.The results showed that the final survey tool had good reliability and validity(Cronbach’sα=0.938,root mean square error of approximation=0.074,comparative fit index=0.962,and Tucker—Lewis index=0.955).The model included five dimensions:government regulation,industry management,medical institution management,research team management,and contract research organization(CRO)management.In total,22 measurement items were obtained.The structural equation model indicated government regulation,industry management,medical institution management,and CRO management significantly affected the quality of phase I clinical drug trials(β=0.195,β=0.331,β=0.279,andβ=−0.267,respectively;P<0.05).Research team management had no effect on the quality of trials(β=0.041,P=0.610).In conclusion,the model is valuable for identifying factors influencing phase I clinical drug trials and guiding quality management practices.

The mortality of treatment group in28 days was not significantly different from that of control group(P > 0.05). The ICU length of stay of treatment group was shorter than that of control group(P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Xuebijing injection could improve the levels of c Tn I, NT-pro BNP and PCT in patients with septic myocardial injury.and it had a protective effect on myocardial injury.

Safety and Tolerance of Adefovir Dipivoxil in Chinese Healthy Volunteers: A PhaseⅠRandomized and Open-Label Trial

Aim To assess the safety and tolerance of adefovir dipivoxil （ADV） in Chinese healthy volunteers. Methods A total of 52 healthy volunteers, 26 males and 26 females, aged from 19 to 26 were enrolled in the study. Forty-two subjects were randomized into 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 mg dose groups （6 - 10 subjects in each） matched by sex and weight for single-dose trial. Ten subjects were orally given 10 mg of ADV tablets once daily for 7 d for multiple-dose trial. Physical examination, vital signs examination, electrocardiography, type-B ultrasonography, chest fluoroscopy, routine blood test, routine urine test, coagulation tests, and blood biochemical test were conducted on schedule and statistically evaluated. Results Asthenia frequently occurred in multiple-dose trial, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea occurred in both single- and multiple-dose trials. ALT, bilirubin, CK, and LDH were slightly elevated. All adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities were mild, and the frequency and severity were not related to doses. Conclusion ADV is safe and well tolerated in Chinese healthy volunteers at dose of 5 - 60 mg oncedaily or 10 nag once daily for 7 d. The recommended oral dosage regimen is 10 mg once daily. Attention should be paid to renal and liver functions, CK, AMY and LDH, if we take ADV for a long period of time.

A system for determining maximum tolerated dose in clinical trial

Toxicity study,especially in determining the maximum tolerated dose(MTD)in phase I clinical trial,is an important step in developing new life-saving drugs.In practice,toxicity levels may be categorised as binary grades,multiple grades,or in a more generalised case,continuous grades.In this study,we propose an overall MTD framework that includes all the aforementioned cases for a single toxicity outcome(response).The mechanism of determining MTD involves a function that is predetermined by user.Analytic properties of such a system are investigated and simu-lation studies are performed for various scenarios.The concept of the continual reassessment method(CRM)is also implied in the framework and Bayesian analysis,including Markov chain Monte Carlo(MCMC)methods are used in estimating the model parameters.

Therapeutic DC vaccination with IL-2 as a consolidation therapy for ovarian cancer patients： a phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trial

While ovarian cancer （OvCa） responds well to surgery and conventional chemotherapy, a high recurrence rate of advanced OvCa is observed. In this phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ study, 10 OvCa patients with minimal residual disease were treated with autologous dendritic cells （DCs） and IL-2 to evaluate the safety and feasibility of this therapeutic strategy and to characterize the antigen-specific immune alterations induced through this treatment. Approximately 4 months after initial debulking and chemotherapy, patients received two subcutaneous doses of autologous monocyte-derived DCs pulsed with autologous tumor lysate and keyhole limpet hemocyanin （KLH） at 4-week intervals. After each DC inoculation, low-dose （200 mlU） IL-2 was introduced for 14 consecutive days as an immune adjuvant. The vaccination was well tolerated. In three out of 10 patients, the inclusion status after the initial therapy showed the maintenance of complete remission （CR） after DC vaccination for 83, 80.9 and 38.2 months without disease relapse. One patient with stable disease （SD） experienced the complete disappearance of tumor after DC vaccination, and this status was maintained for 50.8 months until tumor recurrence. In two patients with partial response （PR） was not responding to DC vaccination and their disease recurred. In the three patients with disease free long-term survival, significant immune alterations were observed, including increased natural killer （NK） activity, IFN-γ-secreting T cells, immune-stimulatory cytokine secretion and reduced immune-suppressive factor secretion after DC vaccination. Thus, in patients with NED status and increased overall survival, DC vaccination induced tumor-related immunity, potentially associated with long-term clinical responses against OvCa.

Study protocol of the Asian XELIRI ProjecT(AXEPT):a multinational,randomized,non-inferiority,phase Ⅲ trial of second-line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer, comparing the eicacy and safety of XELIRI with or without bevacizumab versus FOLFIRI w

Background: Capecitabine and irinotecan combination therapy(XELIRI) has been examined at various dose levels to treat metastatic colorectal cancer(m CRC). Recently, in the Association of Medical Oncology of the German Cancer Society(AIO) 0604 trial, tri?weekly XELIRI plus bevacizumab, with reduced doses of irinotecan(200 mg/m^2 on day 1) and capecitabine(1600 mg/m^2 on days 1–14), repeated every 3 weeks, has shown favorable tolerability and eicacy which were comparable to those of capecitabine and oxaliplatin(XELOX) plus bevacizumab. The doses of capecit?abine and irinotecan in the AIO trial are considered optimal. In a phase I/II study, XELIRI plus bevacizumab(BIX) as second?line chemotherapy was well tolerated and had promising eicacy in Japanese patients.Methods: The Asian XELIRI Projec T(AXEPT) is an East Asian collaborative, open?labelled, randomized, phase Ⅲ clinical trial which was designed to demonstrate the non?inferiority of XELIRI with or without bevacizumab versus standard FOLFIRI(5?fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan combination) with or without bevacizumab as second?line chemo?therapy for patients with m CRC. Patients with 20 years of age or older, histologically conirmed m CRC, Eastern Coop?erative Oncology Group performance status 0–2, adequate organ function, and disease progression or intolerance of the irst?line regimen will be eligible. Patients will be randomized(1:1) to receive standard FOLFIRI with or with?out bevacizumab(5 mg/kg on day 1), repeated every 2 weeks(FOLIRI arm) or XELIRI with or without bevacizumab(7.5 mg/kg on day 1), repeated every 3 weeks(XELIRI arm). A total of 464 events were estimated as necessary to show non?inferiority with a power of 80% at a one?sided α of 0.025, requiring a target sample size of 600 patients. The 95% conidence interval(CI) upper limit of the hazard ratio was pre?speciied as less than 1.3.Conclusion: The Asian XELIRI Projec T is a multinational phase III trial being conducted to provide evidence for XELIRI with or without bevacizumab as a second?line treatment option of mCRC.

A Phase II Study of Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 in Children with High-Grade Glioma. Final Report (Protocol BT-06), and Review of Recent Trials

Standard treatment for high-grade glioma involves surgical resection followed by radiation therapy and temozolomide. Unfortunately, there are no standard treatment recommendations after recurrence and new therapies are needed for patients whose tumor recurs after first-line treatment. This single-arm, two-stage, interventional Phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a combination of antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1. Nineteen patients were enrolled in the study (safety population), but fifteen patients with a median age of 9.4 years who met eligibility criteria were evaluated. The majority of subjects (12/15) were Caucasian and 8/15 (53%) were female. More than half (53%) of patients were diagnosed with glioblastoma and 33% with anaplastic astrocytoma. All patients had failed standard therapy including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Antineoplastons were administered intravenously every four hours (median dose of A10 6.9 g/kg/d and AS2-1 0.30 g/kg/d) until objective response was documented and thereafter for a further 8 months. Clinical evaluations were performed every 8 weeks. All patients enrolled in the study were included in the safety analysis but only patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the efficacy evaluation. The duration of treatment with antineoplastons ranged from 2 weeks to 120 weeks. A complete response was documented in 2/15 (13%), partial response in 2/15 (13%), stable disease in 3/15 (20%). Progression-free survival at six months was 47% and overall survival (OS) at one year was 33.3%. One patient (6.7%) survived 10 years from treatment start. A small group of patients suffered reversible Grade 3 and 4 toxicities including hypernatremia 2/19 (11%) and decrease of neutrophils 1/19 (5%). There were no chronic toxicities. There was improvement of quality of life in patients who had objective response. It is concluded that antineoplastons show efficacy with an acceptable profile in this cohort of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.

Multicenter phase Ⅱ trial of modified FOLFIRINOX in gemcitabine-refractory pancreatic cancer

AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified FOLFIRINOX as a second-line treatment for gemcitabine(GEM)-refractory unresectable pancreatic cancer(PC).METHODS This study was a prospective, multicenter, one-arm, open-label, phase Ⅱ trial. Patients with unresectable PC, who showed disease progression during GEMbased chemotherapy were enrolled. All patients were administered FOLFIRINOX with reduced irinotecan and oxaliplatin(RIO; irinotecan 120 mg/m^2 and oxaliplatin 60 mg/m^2), which was set according to the phase Ⅰ study of FOLFIRINOX. The objective response rate(ORR), disease control rate(DCR), progressionfree survival(PFS), overall survival(OS), adverse events were evaluated. Additionally, changes in quality of life(QoL) were assessed using a questionnaire on QoL.RESULTS Between August 2015 and May 2016, a total of 48 patients were enrolled. The median follow-up time was 259 d with a median of 8.5 cycles. The ORR and DCR were 18.8% and 62.5%, respectively, including one patient who showed complete remission. The median PFS was 5.8 mo [95% confidence interval(CI): 3.7-7.9] and median OS was 9.0 mo(95%CI: 6.4-11.6). Neutropenia(64.6%) was the most common grade 3-4 adverse event, followed by febrile neutropenia(16.7%). Although 14.6% of patients experienced grade 3 fatigue, most non-hematologic AEs were under grade 2. In the QoL analysis, the global health status score before treatment was not different from the score at the last visit after treatment(45.43 ± 22.88 vs 48.66 ± 24.14, P = 0.548).CONCLUSION FOLFIRINOX with RIO showed acceptable toxicity and promising efficacy for GEM-refractory unresectable PC. However, this treatment requires careful observation of treatment-related hematologic toxicities.

Toward phase 4 trials in heart failure: A social and corporate responsibility of the medical profession

Congestive heart failure(CHF) is a chronic condition, requiring polypharmacy, allied health supports and regular monitoring. All these factors are needed to ensure compliance and to deliver the positive outcomes demonstrated from randomized controlled trials. Unfortunately many centers around the world are unable to match trial level support. The outcomes for many communities are thus unclear. Research design factors in post-marketing surveillance to address this issue. Phase 4 studies is the name given to trials designed to obtain such community level data and thus address issues of external validity. CHF phase 4 studies are relatively underutilized. We feel the onus for this research lies with the health profession. In this commentary we provide arguments as to why phase 4 studies should be viewed as a social and corporate responsibility of health professional that care for clients with CHF.
