Safety and efficacy of Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells with teriparatide for osteoporotic vertebral fractures: A phase I/IIa study.

ABSTRACT: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are serious health problems. We conducted a randomized, open-label, phase I/IIa study to determine the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) and teriparatide (parathyroid hormone 1-34) in OVCFs. Twenty subjects with recent OVCFs were randomized to teriparatide (20 μg/day, daily subcutaneous injection for 6 months) treatment alone or combined treatment of WJ-MSCs (intramedullary [4 × 10⁷ cells] injection and intravenous [2 × 10⁸ cells] injection after 1 week) and teriparatide (20 μg/day, daily subcutaneous injection for 6 months). Fourteen subjects (teriparatide alone, n = 7; combined treatment, n = 7) completed follow-up assessment (visual analog scale [VAS], Oswestry Disability Index [ODI], Short Form-36 [SF-36], bone mineral density [BMD], bone turnover measured by osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry [DXA], computed tomography [CT]). Our results show that (a) combined treatment with WJ-MSCs and teriparatide is feasible and tolerable for the patients with OVCFs; (b) the mean VAS, ODI, and SF-36 scores significantly improved in the combined treatment group; (c) the level of bone turnover markers were not significantly different between the two groups; (d) BMD T-scores of spine and hip by DXA increased in both control and experimental groups without a statistical difference; and (e) baseline spine CT images and follow-up CT images at 6 and 12 months showed better microarchitecture in the combined treatment group. Our results indicate that combined treatment of WJ-MSCs and teriparatide is feasible and tolerable and has a clinical benefit for fracture healing by promoting bone architecture.

Project description:Background There are many pharmaceutical interventions available to prevent osteoporotic vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women, but the efficacy and safety of these drugs are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of drugs in the prevention of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Methods PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to February 15, 2020, including postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Network meta-analysis was conducted based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to report the results. This study was registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42020201167. Main Outcomes were incidences of new vertebral fracture and serious adverse events. Results Fifty-five RCTs (n = 104 580) evaluating vertebral fractures of sixteen kinds of pharmacologic therapies were included in the network meta-analysis. Abaloparatide (RR, 0.21; [95% CI, 0.09 to 0.51]), alendronate (RR, 0.55; [95% CI, 0.38 to 0.81]), calcitonin (RR, 0.44; [95% CI, 0.25 to 0.78]), denosumab (RR, 0.33; [95% CI, 0.14 to 0.61]), parathyroid hormone (PTH) (RR, 0.32; [95% CI, 0.10 to 0.97]), risedronate (RR, 0.65; [95% CI, 0.42 to 1.00]), romosozumab (RR, 0.31; [95% CI, 0.16 to 0.61]), strontium ranelate (RR, 0.62; [95% CI, 0.42 to 0.93]), teriparatide (RR, 0.27; [95% CI, 0.17 to 0.43]), and zoledronate (RR, 0.41; [95% CI, 0.93]) were associated with lower vertebral fracture risk compared to placebo. PTH was associated with more adverse event rates. For any two drug treatments, the RR of serious adverse events was not statistically significant. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and calcitonin may be slower to work because they have only been shown to reduce the risk of vertebral fractures in long-term (>18 months) follow-up. Conclusions A variety of drugs are safe and effective in preventing osteoporotic vertebral fractures. HRT and calcitonin only reduced the risk of vertebral fractures during a follow-up of 21–72 months.
