Protocol summary

Study aim
This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intravenous systemic infusion of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Design
This investigation is a single-arm, open-label, non-randomized, phase I clinical trial, including 9 patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Settings and conduct
Since this study aims to evaluate the safety of exosome therapy, no blinding will be performed. A total of 9 patients will be assigned to the single study intervention arm and will receive intravenous infusion of exosomes as the study intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients with age between 18 and 80, diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke based on clinical and radiological evidence, time from onset to injection of 24 to 72 h, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) between 6 and 20 will be included in this study. Patients with lacunar or brainstem stroke, acute intracranial hemorrhage, history of seizure, current or prior traumatic brain injury, history of ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, and abnormal renal, hepatic, immunologic, and coagulation profiles will be excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
All patients will be assigned to the single study intervention arm. Patients in the intervention arm will receive the systemic intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes.
Main outcome variables
The primary outcome measure of the study will be safety profile of the study intervention. Secondary outcome measures will be National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Description
Intervention group: All patients (n=9) will be assigned to the single study intervention group. The process of exosome isolation and preparation will be performed in a clinical-grade cleanroom and in complicance with Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Patients will receive 500 μg of exosomes in 100 mL of normal saline as a single intravenous infusion over 30 min. The exosomes will be injected within 24 to 72 h after the onset. Following the injection, all patients will undergo standard care for acute stroke.
