Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the Effectiveness and Investigating the Side Effects of Allogeneic transplantation of Adipose-derived Stem Cells on Skin Lesions of Patients with Psoriasis Plaque
Design
Two arms, parallel group, randomized, double blind, Phase I
Settings and conduct
This study is done on psoriasis patients referred to the Royan skin clinic. In the first phase, 2 groups of 3 patients are selected to recieve 1 and 3 million ASCs per cm2 of lesion, respectively. after 6 months follow-up, the best dose is chosen based on efficacy and safety outcomes.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion: patients older than 18 years of age, patients with chronic psoriasis plaque for at least 6 months, the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) index less than 12, plaque severity of moderate to severe (Grade 3 to 5), not response to standard treatments, absence of a new lesion, or an increase in the size of previous lesions in the last 6 months are included in the study. Exclusion: patients with other types of psoriasis including pustular, erythrodermic, gotate and drug induced, immunosuppressive drugs given in 4 weeks, and topical medications other than moisturizing lotions in the past 2 weeks, severe underlying disease (liver, kidney, and cardiac failure), Increased liver enzymes more than 3 times normal and creatinine more than 2, high and uncontrolled hypertension, pregnant or lactating, diabetes mellitus, patients with hepatitis B, C or HIV, immunocompromised patients, Malignancy, debilitating disease, and systemic infection or injection site are excluded.
Intervention groups
Allogeneic adipose-derived stromal cells in normal saline group
Main outcome variables
Side effects, severity of plaque psoriasis, PASI measures, inflammatory cytokines

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization method: Simple Randomization unit: Individual stratified randomization is not included Randomization Tool: Random number box Allocation concealment: The cell products with different doses are delivered to the physician with code numbers. Then the dressings will be placed on the patient's lesion based on randomization number box.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, patients, researchers, health care persons including its physician and nurse, and the outcome evaluator are blinded until the end of study. For this purpose, the patient's lesions are divided into an intervention and control group based on the randomization table and the cell sample or placebo is sent to the physician with a code and the physician performs the injections according to the product label.
