Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Adipose Derive Stem Cells for Patients With COPD

January 23, 2020 updated by: Arkansas Heart Hospital

A Phase I Open- Label Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Single Intravenous Dose of Autologous Adipose Stem Cell (Adult Human) to Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The purpose of this study is: 1.- to assess the safety and tolerability of autologous adipose derived stem cells (aADSC) administered intravenously in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 2.- to assess if this therapy results in less decrease of lung function parameters (FEV1, FEV1/FVC and 6 min walking distance) compared with a control baseline of 6 weeks.

Patients will be followed up for 12 months after the therapy.

Detailed Description

STUDY DESIGN This is a Phase I open- label single-dose study in subjects with significant COPD. This is an expanded safety cohort. The investigators will enroll a minimum of 30 subjects. 6 week data of FEV1, FEV1/FVC, DLCO and 6 min walking distance values will be collected in all patients who are enrolled in the study (Baseline and 6 weeks after). Prior to the stem cell treatment, the patient will be assessed for 6 weeks by pulmonary function tests and 6 min walk tests. Then, patients will receive the infusion of stromal vascular fraction cells containing the aADSC (single intravenous dose). The standard therapy of COPD patients will not be interrupted during the duration of the study. Safety will be monitored on an ongoing basis, and an interim safety review will be conducted by the Investigator(s) and Sponsor after the first 20 patients have been enrolled and treated.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
