Experimental: Mesenchymal stromal cell treatment |
Biological: Mesenchymal stromal cells
Allogenous mesenchymal stromal cells, to be injected intravenously at a dose of 1-2 million/kg at a frequency of once a month (frequency may be changed during the study if deemed appropriate by investigators) for 6-9 months. |
- Change in disease activity according to National Institute of Health criteria [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ]Patients are evaluated according to NIH criteria at 3, 6 and (if applicable) 9 months after initialising MSC treatment, and the score compared to baseline score.
- Change in disease activity as measured by histological examination [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ]
- Change in self-assessed disease activity and quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ]
- Safety (Adverse events, infections and relapse) [ Time Frame: 21 months ]Frequency of complications, infections and relapse
- Freedom from steroids at 1 year after MSC treatment [ Time Frame: 1 year after finishing treatment ]Proportion of patients free from corticosteroids at 1 year after finishing MSC treatment.
