Overview

Orofacial manifestations and microstomia are a frequent complication in systemic sclerosis (SSc) with a major impact on oral hygiene, dental care and quality of life. Peri-oral injection of allogeneic cultured adipose-derived stromal cells constitutes a promising approach to treat scleroderma-induced mouth fibrosis where no alternative therapy is validated. The aim of this phase 2 study is to compare efficacy and safety of perioral injection of allogeneic cultured adipose-derived stromal cells (AdMSC) versus placebo to improve oro-facial fibrosis in patients with systemic sclerosis.

Interventions

  • Drug AdMSC
    At day 0, patients will have AdMSC injections in perioral region. Patients will be followed-up for 24 weeks
  • Drug Placebo
    At day 0, patients will have placebo injections in perioral region. Patients will be followed-up for 24 weeks

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis scale (MHISS) [Time frame: Day 0, 12 weeks after injection]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
  • Safety of treatment [Time frame: Day 0, 4, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Efficacy on oral function by facial scanners [Time frame: Day 0, 4, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Efficacy on orofacial handicap [Time frame: Day 0, 4, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Patient satisfaction [Time frame: Day 0, 4, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Oral habits and hygiene [Time frame: Day 0 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • oral microbiota [Time frame: Day 0, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Plaque index [Time frame: Day 0, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Change in decayed missing filled teeth [Time frame: Day 0 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Change in mandibular tracking [Time frame: Day 0, 4, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Posture by stabilometry [Time frame: Day 0, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • psycho-social aspects and oro-facial pains [Time frame: Day 0, 4, 12 and 24 weeks after injection]
  • Rodnan skin score [Time frame: Day 0, 12 and 24 weekds after injection]
