Protocol summary

Study aim
Efficacy of umbilical cord derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells transplantation on movement improvement in patients with neuromuscular disorders
Design
This study is phase 3 of clinical trial. In this study, there are four categories of inherited neuromuscular diseases. Each category includes 30 people of two 15 people of test and control.Blinding has not been done. Random allocation to two groups of test and control is using block randomization with four blocks. Sample size is 30 people in each category, with 4 categories, total number of patients is 60 people in control group and 60 people in test group.
Settings and conduct
The site of transplantation is in Farhikhtegan hospital. For each patient, four injections are given at the first injection, two weeks later, one month later, and again three months intervals. 3 million per kilogram body weight mesenchymal stem cell are transplanted into the patient's weak muscles under sedation conditions and under ultrasound guidance. After the cell injection, the patient is hospitalized and monitored for 24 hours.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Patients 4 to 35 yers old affected with genetic neuromusculae disorders. Exclusion Criteria: cancer; chromosomal defects; Patients with HIV, HCV, HBV, HTLV1,2; Dissatisfaction for entering the study.
Intervention groups
120 patients with four inherited neuromuscular diseases entered in this study. These patients were classified into 4 groups of 30 people. Each group consists of two groups of 15 test and 15 control. In patients of test group, mesenchymal stem cells are injected in weak muscles. There is no intervention in the control group. After 9 months, the clinical sign and symptoms, including the distance of walking for 6 minutes, were compared between the two groups.
Main outcome variables
Muscle strength enhancement with umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation

Randomized
Randomization description
In order to randomly assign to the two groups of test and control, the block random division method with four blocks was used. In this way, the letter A was assigned to the test group and the letter B to the control group. In four blocks with letters A and B, the six modes AABB, BBAA, ABAB, BABA, ABBA, BAAB were written on separate sheets and thrown inside a container and accidentally removed one of these sheets from the container. And the composition written on it was noted and again "that sheet was thrown into the container." Because the sample size in this study was 30 patients, this operation was repeated eight times, and each time the composition written on each sheet was written in the sequence of the composition written on the previous sheet. Then, one letter from one to thirty letters was assigned to each of the letters in order, and each letter was placed in an envelope and the number was written on the envelope. Each time the disease was selected, one of the envelopes was opened in order of the number written on the envelope, and it was determined that the patient should be in the test or control group.

Other design features
Patients are divided into 4 groups of 30 patients (15 for Test group and 15 for control patients).The first group of patients with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy based on genetic testing, the second group of neuropathic patients such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Charcot-Marie-Thoth disease based on genetic testing, the third group of patients with other types of muscular dystrophy such as Limb girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Congenital muscular dystrophy Based on genetic testing, the fourth group are other inherited myopathies such as congenital myopathy and congenital myasthenic syndrome.

Description
Intervention group: In intervention group or test group the transplantation or injection of mesenchymal stem cell will be done. In this study the site of transplantation is in operation room of Farhikhtegan subspecialty hospital. Before the stem cell injection, the patient needs to be hospitalized for one day. For each patient, four injections are given at the first injection, two weeks later, one month later, and again three months intervals. 3 million per kilogram body weight mesenchymal stem cell are transplanted into the patient's weak muscles under sedation conditions and under ultrasound guidance. After the umbilical cord mesenchymal cell injection, the patient is hospitalized and monitored for 24 hours.
