Brief Summary

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

Phase II Clinical Trial to Assess the dose-response and Efficacy of Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) in Severe Renal Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Detailed Description

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

Phase IIa trial of escalating doses of intravenous (i.v.) MSCs in active SLE, followed by a Phase IIb, triple blind, controlled assessment of the selected MSC dosing versus Placebo, in SLE patients receiving Standard of Care Therapy for Severe Renal Disease,

MSC treatment

Intervention: a previously selected dose of MSCs (Phase IIa) will be administered by i.v. infusion at baseline and 6 months of follow-up (total 12 months), to patients with Severe Renal SLE subject also to Standard of Care treatment with Methylprednisolone and Cyclophosphamide followed by Mycophenolate.
