Clinical Study on the Effect of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosomes on Endometrial Repair of Intrauterine Adhesions

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) is a group of diseases caused by endometrial injury leading to occlusion of the uterine cavity and serious abnormality of the uterine cavity morphology, which causes primary or secondary infertility by affecting embryo implantation. At present, the poor effectiveness of clinical treatment methods has made the thin endometrium after intrauterine adhesions an urgent problem to be solved in the clinical field of assisted reproduction.

Stem cells with multi-directional differentiation potential provide a new idea for the treatment of cervical adhesions. However, due to limitations such as stem cell extraction, technical conditions, and ethical issues, clinical application cannot be widely carried out. Exosomes are vesicle structures produced by paracrine secretion of cells, containing abundant proteins, RNA, etc., and mediating information exchange between cells. Recent studies have found that stem cells play a role in tissue repair mainly through paracrine, and stem cell-derived exosomes have similar functions to stem cells. Human cord mesenchymal stem cells were selected as an intervention for this clinical study because of their wide source, easy access, and low immunogenicity.

Therefore, in this clinical study, the investigator will evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of infusing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes into the uterine cavity for the treatment of thin endometrium after intrauterine adhesions.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • (1) The subjects were able to fully understand the purpose of the screening and the trial, had sufficient understanding and compliance with the research protocol, and signed the informed consent form; (2) The subjects were aged between 20 and 38 years old; (3) The body mass index was 18-27 kg/m2; (4) The menstrual cycle was regular for at least half a year, with a duration of 27-35 days; (5) The ovarian reserve was normal, with at least 6 follicles (AFC), and the serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level on the 2nd-4th day of the menstrual cycle was between 1-10 IU/L, and other basic hormone indicators were within the normal range of clinical laboratories; (6) The serum human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, Treponema pallidum particle agglutination test (TPPA), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV-Ag) tests were negative within half a year; (7) Previous hysteroscopy diagnosis was moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions (AFS > 5 points); (8) There was a history of canceling frozen embryo transfer due to repeated B-ultrasound monitoring of thin endometrium and poor endometrial response (HRT cycle or/and late proliferative endometrium thickness < 6mm).

Exclusion criteria

  • (1) Those who cannot accept the treatment and observation process as required by the trial; (2) Those with contraindications for hysteroscopic surgery; (3) Congenital uterine malformations; (4) Severe adenomyosis; (5) Uterine fibroids that may affect embryo implantation; (6) Other uterine factors judged by the researchers to be unsuitable for embryo implantation; (7) Patients with chromosomal abnormalities; (8) Patients with reproductive system tuberculosis, or those with immune system diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.); (9) Chronic wasting or bleeding disorders; (10) Unaddressed tubal hydrosalpinx; (11) Contraindications for estrogen therapy; (12) Patients with systemic diseases, such as thrombosis, heart and lung diseases, hematological system diseases and malignant tumors, etc.

Treatment and study plan

Exosmoes

Combination Product

After hysteroscopy, immediate intracavitary perfusion therapy with exosomes was administered.

HRT

Drug

After hysteroscopy, traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle drug treatment was performed (from the day of the surgery to the 25th day of the menstrual cycle, 3 mg of estradiol valerate (Climen) was taken twice a day, and on the 16th day of the menstrual cycle, 10 mg of dydrogesterone (Duphaston) was added twice a day for 10 days).

Primary outcomes

  1. Endometrial thickness

    Time frame: One month after hysteroscopy surgery

    The thickness of the endometrium was measured through three-dimensional color ultrasound examination of the uterus. The thickness (in millimeters) of the endometrium before and after the hysteroscopy procedure was recorded.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical pregnancy rate

    Time frame: 1-1.5year

    By conducting regular postoperative follow-ups on the participants, the investigator can observe their pregnancy outcomes and record whether they have successfully achieved clinical pregnancy.

  2. Live birth rate

    Time frame: 1-1.5year

    By conducting regular postoperative follow-ups on the participates, the investigator can observe their pregnancy outcomes and record whether they have successfully achieved clinical pregnancy.
