Official title
Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Umbilical Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells in the Treatment of Chronic Radiation Enteritis
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCB-MNCs) therapy for chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) by observing factors related to the therapeutic effect and adverse reactions of UCB-MNCs in treating CRE.
Interventions
- Biological UCB-MNCs
UCB-MNCs will be administered via intravenous infusion three times, once per week, with a dose of 3×10⁸ cells per infusion.
Primary outcome measures
- Change from baseline Vienna Rectoscopy Score (VRS) [Time frame: At 3 and 12 months after the last treatment.]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Clinical remission rate [Time frame: At 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the last treatment.]
- Change from baseline LENT-SOMA scoring scale [Time frame: At 3 months and 12 months after the last treatment.]
- Change from baseline visual analog scale (VAS) [Time frame: At 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the last treatment.]
- Hemoglobin concentration [Time frame: Changes in hemoglobin levels will be compared before treatment and at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the last treatment.]
- Changes in Intestinal Flora Distribution [Time frame: At 1 week and 1 month after the last treatment.]
