Thus, our novel findings may facilitate the design of clinical studies and help establish novel monitoring procedures to reproducibly assess the efficacy of MSCs-based treatments in the future.
1) To ensure comprehensive coverage of pilot trial procedures we drew up a list of components derived from the CONSORT 2010 statement [ 16]. 2) For each trial component we considered potential methods of monitoring procedures and potential outcomes from that monitoring process (see Table 1) covering: Feasibility and appropriateness of the trial design.
