Probable Factors Associated with Response to Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Stroke Patients: A Post Hoc Analysis of the STARTING-2 Trial

The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with improved motor function of the lower extremities in response to mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in patients with ischemic stroke. This study was a post hoc analysis of data from a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial o...

Twelve (33%) of the thirty-six patients receiving MSC therapy reached a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of FMA-LL. The two independent factors with the greatest impact on response to MSC therapy for achieving an MCID in FMA-LL score were: (1) the time from stroke onset to MSC therapy, and (2) age (<i>p</i> < 0.05).

In conclusion, this post hoc analysis might suggest the need for recruiting stroke patients at younger and early after stroke onset in future clinical trials of MSC therapy for stroke.Won Hyuk ChangJungsoo LeeJong-Won ChungYun-Hee KimOh Young BangThe STARTING-2 CollaboratorsMDPI AGarticlemesenchymal stem cellsstrokemotor recoverypost hoc analysismotor impairmentMedicineRENJournal of Personalized Medicine, Vol 11, Iss 1137, p 1137 (2021)
