Study aim
-
Determination of the Safety and efficacy of injection of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal exosomes for skin lesions in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis
-
Design
-
parallel group, 12 patient, Phase I ,clinical trial
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study is performed on psoriasis patients. In the first phase of this study, 3 groups of 4 patients were selected. For these groups, 50, 100 and 200 micrograms per milliliter per square centimeter of skin lesion are injected, respectively. Also a lesion at the injection site with the same sensitivity and severity as the control. At a 3-month follow-up, the best dose is selected for best efficacy and minimal side effects.
