Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy is a Autosomal dominant inherited dystrophy with the prevalence of 1:20,000 and it is the third most common dystrophy after the dystrophinopathies and myotonic dystrophy. The symptoms including: Pain, facial weakness, scapular fixator, humeral, truncal, pelvic girdle and lower-extremity weakness, High frequency hearing loss, Retinal telangiectasia . The existing treatments are not effective so, cell therapy is a new hope to improve patients' quality of life. Therefore, We design this clinical trial to evaluate the safety and feasibility of stem cell transplantation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, we select 15 patients with FSHD based on eligibility criteria. All the patients underwent physical examination, laboratory evaluations, EMG-NCV, muscle sonography and muscle MRI. Then, a sample of patient's muscle is taken from Biceps Femoralis to isolate and culture of MDSC. The AD-MSC is prepared from Royan Adipose Tissue Bank. The patient is admitted in general hospital, and the cell suspensions are injected into biceps, triceps and trapezoids muscles by neurologists. After transplantation, the patients will be under observation for 5 hours and will be discharged if no side effect happen. All the patients will be followed at 1,2,4,6 and 12 months after cell injection.
