This is a First-in-man, Phase I Study Utilizing 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to Track Autologous, Adipose Derived Stem Cells.
Six female patients (>18 years of age, pre-menopausal) who have had loco-regional (lumpectomy
and radiation) therapy for breast carcinoma and have been at least one-year disease free will
undergo liposuction, the autologous SVF cell fraction will be isolated and labeled with
CS-1000 in the operating room without entering cell culture, which will then be returned to
the patient at the site of breast grafting. Patients will receive a pre-screening MRI .
Patients will have an MRI scans over a period of 1 month at Johns Hopkins. Follow-up MRIs at
6,12, and 18 months will also be performed. Only at Johns Hopkins with fluorine being done as
part of this investigational study. By performing fluorine MRI and quantification of 19F
signal, we hypothesize that the engraftment of transplanted cells can be tracked in ways not
possible before, using the total fluorine signal as surrogate marker for cell persistence and
survival. We expect that a clinically successful outcome (maintenance of breast contour and
volume) will be positively correlated with cell survival. The outcome of this study may pave
the way for using 19F MRI cell tracking as a new tool for stem cell therapy in a variety of
clinical applications.
