Résumé
Objective: To assess the superiority of adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction (AD-SVF) injection into the fingers vs placebo in reducing hand disability in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients.
Methods: We performed a double-blind, multicentre, phase II trial from October 2015 to January 2018 in France. SSc patients with a Cochin Hand Function Scale (CHFS) ≥20/90 were randomized 1:1 to receive injection of AD-SVF or placebo. AD-SVF was obtained using the automated processing Celution®800/CRS system. The placebo was lactated Ringer's solution. The primary efficacy end point was the change of the CHFS score from baseline to 3 months. Secondary efficacy endpoints included the CHFS score at 6 months, hands function, vasculopathy, hands pain, skin fibrosis, sensitivity of the finger' pulps, Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire, patients and physician satisfaction and the safety.
Results: 40 patients were randomized. The AD-SVF and placebo groups were comparable for age, sex ratio, disease duration, skin fibrosis of the hands and main cause of hand disability. After 3 month-follow-up, hand function significantly improved in both groups with no between-group difference of CHFS (mean change of -9.2 ± 12.2 in the AD-SVF group vs -7.6 ± 13.2 in the placebo group). At 6 months, hand function improved in both groups.
Conclusion: This study showed an improvement of hand function in both groups other time, with no superiority of the AD-SVF. Considering the limits of this trial, studies on a larger population of patients with homogeneous phenotype and hand handicap, should be encouraged to accurately assess the benefit of AD-SVF therapy.
