Phases I–III Clinical Trials Using Adult Stem Cells

Description

The field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering has made significant advances in the past decade in large part due to improved methods of isolation and culture of stem cells from multiple tissues. Both academic and commercial biotechnology companies have collected substantial preclinical data characterizing stem cell products for autologous and allogeneic transplantation. These technologies are being translated to the bedside through partnerships between physicians, scientists, and manufacturing entities. These Phases I–III clinical trials have proceeded as a result of direct interaction between the clinician/investigators, sponsors, and the appropriate national and international regulatory authorities to ensure safety and efficacy of the stem cell product and protection of the human subjects.

In this special issue, we invite authors to submit original research articles as well as review articles, dealing with their experience and observations related to Phases I–III clinical trials involving stem cell products for human or veterinary therapy. We are particularly interested in articles that can share nonproprietary information relating to the type of preclinical data required to meet the requirements of the appropriate regulatory authority as well as information regarding the design, conduct, and outcomes of the clinical trial.

This issue is open to articles relating to adult stem cells as applied to any medical conditions. Both primary research articles and review/perspectives will be accepted for consideration; however, to be accepted, articles must be conducted in compliance with the Guidelines for Clinical Translation of Stem Cells as outlined by the International Society for Stem Cell Research (December 3, 2008 http://www.isscr.org/clinical_trans/pdfs/ISSCRGLClinicalTrans.pdf) or an equivalent regulatory agency consistent with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) / WHO Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • The use of human adult stem cells or adipose stromal vascular fraction cells for soft tissue cosmesis
  • The use of human adult stem cells for bone repair
  • The use of human adult stem cells for treatment of ischemic injury models (myocardial infarction, peripheral ischemia/claudication, stroke)
  • The use of human adult stem cells as anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory agents
  • The use of adult stem cells for veterinary clinical applications
  • The use of adult stem cells for burn, skin, or wound repair

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/sci/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
