1 A Phase I Dose Escalation Trial of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Patients With Xerostomia After Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer

This is a single center, non-randomized, Phase I dose escalation study to assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of autologous, bone marrow-derived, interferon gamma-stimulated Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) injected into the submandibular glands of patients with radiation-induced xerostomia (dry mouth) following treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC).

NCT04489732 Xerostomia Following Radiotherapy Biological: Autologous bone-marrow derived, interferon gamma stimulated mesenchymal stromal cells
MeSH:Xerostomia
HPO:Xerostomia

Primary Outcomes

Description: Dose limiting toxicity is defined as 1) score > 5 on a standard pain scale of 1-10, or 2) any serious adverse event. The percentage of subjects experiencing DLT will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose or maximum administered dose. That dose will be the recommended dose for a phase 2 trial (RP2D).

Measure: Percentage of subjects experiencing dose limiting toxicity (DLT)

Time: Day 30 ± 10 days

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Whole saliva production rates will be measured under unstimulated and stimulated saliva collection conditions.

Measure: Change in Saliva production rate

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: Salivary pH will be measured using a pH meter. The normal range of saliva pH is 6.2-7.6 .

Measure: Saliva composition analysis: Change in salivary pH

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: ELISA will be used to quantify total protein concentration in saliva. The normal range of total protein in saliva is 2-5 mg/mL.

Measure: Saliva composition analysis: Change in total protein concentration in saliva

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) will be used to quantify amylase concentration in saliva. The normal range of amylase concentration in saliva is 10-150 U/mL.

Measure: Saliva composition analysis: Change in amylase concentration in saliva

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: ELISA will be used to quantify mucin concentration in saliva.The normal range of mucin concentration in saliva is 1,000-3,000 ug/mL.

Measure: Saliva composition analysis: Change in mucin concentration in saliva

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: The University of Michigan Xerostomia Related Quality of Life (XeQOL) scale is a validated patient-reported assessment 15 item scale with 4 domains: physical functioning, pain/discomfort, personal/psychologic functioning, and social functioning. Participants will answer the questions on a scale of 1-5 (not a all, a little, somewhat, quite a bit, very much) for every item. Higher scores represent greater degree of symptoms.

Measure: Change in The University of Michigan Xerostomia Related Quality of Life (XeQOL) score

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: The MDADI is a 20-item questionnaire designed for evaluating the impact of dysphagia on the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer. The MDADI score ranges from 20-100 with a lower scale representing worse dysphagia.

Measure: Change in The MD Anderson Dysphagia Index (MDADI) score

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: A Visual Analogue Scale questionnaire for subjective assessment of salivary dysfunction. The VAS xerostomia questionnaire is an 8-item questionnaire that provides a validated measure of the perception of dry mouth. Participants will be asked to mark their responses to each item by placing a vertical line on the 100-mm horizontal scale. The VAS ranges from 8-80 with a lower scale representing less dysphagia/symptoms

Measure: Change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) xerostomia score

Time: at baseline, Day 30 ± 10 days, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort

Description: Salivary gland size measured by ultrasound imaging

Measure: Change in salivary gland size

Time: at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose escalation cohorts; at baseline, Day 90 ± 14 days , Day 180 ± 21 days, Day 365 ± 21 days for dose expansion cohort
