SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTIONS OF AUTOLOGOUS CULTURED ADIPOSE-DERIVED STROMA/ STEM CELLS TO HEAL REFRACTORY ISCHEMIC DIGITAL ULCERS IN PATIENTS WITH SCLERODERMA
EU CTIS ID: 2023-508432-53-00
What this study is testing
To compare efficacy and safety of digital injection of allogeneic adipose-derived stromal cell (CellReady®) versus placebo for healing refractory (chronic and/or recurrent in the 3 months following a DU occurrence) active ischemic digital ulcers in patients with systemic sclerosis in a 16 weeks placebo- controlled trial.
- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

- at least one digital ulcer at baseline showing all the following characteristics: a) located beyond the proximal interphalangeal joint, on finger surface (included periungueal ulcers), b) of ischemic origin according to the physician, c) not over subcutaneous calcifications or bone relief, d) active DU, e) refractory after 10±2 weeks of standard of care (that is either still active or new occurrence despite standard of care)- Patient must have provided written informed consent prior to enrolment,
- Patient must be able to understand their requirements of participating in the protocol,
