Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of IV injection of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells in steroid-resistant acute GvHD patients; Phase I and II clinical trials
Design
A phase 1-2 clinical trial study has a control group with 60 patients, with parallel groups and double-blind and randomized. Randomization is simple.
Settings and conduct
This double-blind clinical trial is conducted on 60 patients with aGvHD in Shariati Hospital. Patients in three groups of cells, exosome and ruxolitinib are treated and followed up according to the protocol.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients aged 12 to 65 years - patients with acute aGvHD grade II-IV according to MAGIC criteria and steroid resistant according to EBMT-NIH-CIBMTR, patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT with the following conditions: related donor HLA (MRD), HLA unrelated donor (MUD), unrelated cord blood (UCB), haploidal donor - Exclusion criteria: positive serology for hepatitis B, C and HIV or fungal infection - uncontrolled diseases including persistent or active infection, symptomatic CHF, unstable angina, cardiac arrhythmia, transplant recipient for solid tumor - diagnosis of sinus occlusion syndrome (SOS) or veno-occlusive disease - pregnancy or lactation
Intervention groups
A: IV injection of a solution containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained from the human placenta from Viracellule Company, 1 million cells / kg of body weight, 4 times at intervals of 3 days. B: IV injection of a solution containing 1.2 x 10^12 exosome of MSCs obtained from the human placenta from Viracellule Company, 4 times with an interval of every 3 days. C: Ruxolitinib drug, Nano Alvand Company, 5 mg twice a day, orally, from day 0 to day 28 after injection.
Main outcome variables
Adverse events, complete response rate, overall survival rate

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study,In order to reduce bias, randomization is done by online randomization method by a statistician. the randomization process was conducted using the Clinical Trial Randomization Tool provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) https://ctrandomization.cancer.gov/ to assign 60 participants to 3 groups: Group A, B, & C. This randomization procedure was performed in a double-blind manner, ensuring that both investigators and participants remained unaware of the group assignments, and the randomization process was blinded. Then, in order to reduce to zero the possibility of interfering in the selection of the intervention group by the researcher, 60 envelopes (containing number 1 to 60 and intervention group A, B, or C) were prepared at the time of the start of the study based on the order of entry of the eligible participants into the study, randomly from one of the envelopes was sent to The order will be opened and the placement of the patient in the intervention group will be determined.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Patients will be placed in one of three study groups and will be blinded to which study group they will be placed in. The drug is injected to the patient by the researcher. And the nurses will be blind to which study group they are included in.

Description
Intervention group: intravenous injection of a solution containing mesenchymal stem cells obtained from the human placenta is performed in 20 patients with acute graft-versus-host disease. Mesenchymal stem cells are injected at the rate of 1 million cells per kilogram of body weight in 200 cc of normal saline and 4 times at intervals of 3 days in patients. Mesenchymal stem cells are obtained in the clean room of Viraselul company and necessary quality control tests are performed on the final product. Treatment follow-up is done in the first and second week and in the first, third and sixth months after the injection.
