Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained from umbilical cords for the treatment of adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The goal of this study is to determine if patients receiving an MSC infusion plus standard of care respond better than patients receiving placebo infusion plus standard of care.

Primary Outcome

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI) is defined as a greater than or equal to (≥) 4 point reduction in the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index score (SLEDAI), no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B domain score, and no deterioration from Baseline in the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) by greater than or equal to (≥) 0.3 points. Additionally, to be a "responder", corticosteroid dose must be less than of equal to (≤)10

Interventions

  • DRUG Low Dose Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
  • DRUG High Dose Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
  • DRUG Placebo Infusion
