University of Wisconsin hMSC Cell Bank: Bone Marrow Donor Protocol

United States3 participantsStarted 2011-09

Plain-language summary

The objective of this protocol is to use established standard criteria and methods for the collection of hMSC (human mesenchymal stromal cells) from healthy bone marrow donors. The hMSC collected from the donors will use to develop well-defined and reproducible cell banks. Standard manufacturing procedures and quality control testing methods will be used to characterize and evaluate the final cell product. After the cell banks are created, these cell products will be used in future translational or clinical research.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 35 years * Willingness to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of risk factors for or clinical evidence of Human immunodeficiency virus (type 1 and 2), Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Human T-lymphotrophic virus (type I and II), Human transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) treponema pallidum, * Presence of communicable disease risk associated with xenotransplantation. * Test positive for Human immunodeficiency virus (type 1 and 2), Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Human T-lymphotrophic virus (type I and II), cytomegalovirus (CVM), West Nile Virus, treponema pallidum. * Use of investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half lives which ever is longer. Use of investigational implanted device. * History of malignancy. * Pregnancy * In the opinion of the hematologist or the investigator, a condition that compromises the ability of the donor to safely provide BM donation.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
