Clinical application of exosomes in Brain related diseases research

No Disease and Conditions Interventions and Exosome source Therapeutic used in the study Trial Identification Number Status & Clinical Phase
1 Cerebrovascular disorders Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes MSC derived exosomes enriched by miR-124 NCT03384433 Not yet recruiting & Phase1, Phase 2
2 Lymphoma, B-cell, aggressive non-hodgkin (B-NHL) Blood samples Exosome carries therapeutic targets (CD20, PDL-1) and could act as “decoy-receptors” for immunotherapy and identify aggressive B-NHL. NCT03985696 Recruiting & Not applicable
3 Parkinson’s disease (PD), LRRK2 kinase inhibitor sunitinib PD patients and controls proteomes Exosome proteomes derived from PD patients versus controls, if LRRK2 expression and phosphorylation are significantly lowered in exosomes of treated with the potent LRRK2 kinase inhibitor sunitinib. NCT01860118 Completed & Not applicable
4 Macular degeneration, senile Optical coherence tomography, Color retinography, Fundus autofluorescence imaging The L-Dopa regulates the cell’s exosomal and endosomal pathways, decreases the RPE’s exosome release significantly. NCT02863640 Terminated & Not applicable
5 Parkinson disease, age-related macular degeneration Optical coherence tomography, Fundus autofluorescence imaging Estimate the prevalence of ARMD in Parkinson’s Patients and explore a possible causal link between L-DOPA treatment and ARMD. NCT03415984 Completed & Not applicable
6 Malignant glioma of brain IGF-1R/AS ODN, bio-diffusion chamber Compared to traditional treatment alternatives for tumor recurrence, including a boost of further radiation and more chemotherapy. NCT01550523 Completed & Phase 1
7 Malignant glioma neoplasms Drug: IGF-1R/AS ODN Within 24 hours of craniotomy, implanted for 48 hours, surgery with tissue harvest and implantation of 20 diffusion chambers in the rectus sheath with IGF-1R/AS ODN, NCT02507583 Active, not recruiting & Phase 1
8 Healthy subjects, systemic autoimmune diseases Exosomes from plasma and urine sample To constitute a Healthy Volunteers cohort to compare with systemic autoimmune diseases cohort into molecular clusters instead of clinical entities by determining molecular profiles using several “Omics” techniques. NCT02890147 Completed & Not applicable
9 NCT02890134 Unknown & Not applicable
