No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will explore a new approach to treat patients with a medical condition known as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who have been resistant to previous treatments using a new population of cells with capability to restore a normal immune system that will no longer attack the body.

The stated hypothesis is that the SLE condition is caused by an abnormal immune system that can be restored by replenishing the body with a new population of progenitor cells.

Conditions

  • Refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Allogeneic MSC (AlloMSC)

Intervention: Cyclophosphamide will be administered intravenously at at total dose of 0.8-1.8g 24 hours before transplantation. Allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (matched family donors)will be infused intravenously at 106 cells/kg body weight
