Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome | Drug: Umbilical Cord Blood Unit | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a pilot study on safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood therapy for patients with Hutchinson Gilford Progeria syndrome (HGPS). HGPS is a rare genetic disease where affected LMNA gene coding lamin A protein leads to premature aging and early death.
Teenagers with HGPS are in high risk of atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke, and these are major reason of mortality in HGPS.Currently, there are no definite cure for this rare genetic disease. Among the potential drugs under investigation, Lornafarnib (farnesyltransferase inhibitor) lowered the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and also lowered mortality.
Stem cell therapy has proven its efficacy in progeria mouse model. We are trying to study safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood therapy in human HGPS patients.

Experimental: UCB injection group
This pilot study includes only 2 subjects who are enrolled by invitation. Both subjects are included in this single arm.

Drug: Umbilical Cord Blood Unit
3 infusions of umbilical cord blood (UCB) unit (TNC > 2.0ⅹ107cells/kg) each 4 months apart and take oral Sirolimus (1 mg/m2/day) for 7 days (from 3 days before UCB infusion until 3 days after UCB infusion)
Other Name: Oral Sirolimus |
- Change from baseline Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity at 48 weeks [ Time Frame: 48 weeks after UCB infusion ]measured by carotid doppler ultrasonography
- Change from baseline serum HDL cholesterol at 48 weeks [ Time Frame: 48 weeks after UCB infusion ]taken on routine lab
- Change from baseline weight at 48 weeks [ Time Frame: 48 weeks after UCB infusion ]measured by bioimpedance analysis
- Ankle-brachial index [ Time Frame: baseline, 48 weeks after UCB infusion ]measured by automatic blood pressure gauge
- Body fat proportion [ Time Frame: baseline, 48 weeks after UCB infusion ]taken by bioimpedance analysis
- Range of motion [ Time Frame: baseline, 48 weeks after UCB infusion ]measured manually
- height [ Time Frame: baseline, 48 weeks after UCB infusion ]measured by bioimpedance analysis
