Treatment of Pediatric Bronchiolitis Obliterans by Airway Basal Stem Cells

January 12, 2026 updated by: Regend Therapeutics

Exploratory Study of Airway Basal Stem Cells on Treatment of Pediatric Bronchiolitis Obliterans

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a chronic lung disease which was initiated with injury of the bronchiolar epithelium and resulted in nonuniform luminal obliteration or narrowing. Among children, the most common form of BO is post-infectious BO with a lack of treatment guidelines or standard therapy. In this study, an open, single-armed study is performed to preliminarily evaluate the safety and efficacy of airway basal stem cells on treatment of pediatric BO.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males and females, aged between 28 days and 18 years;
  • Diagnosed with bronchiolitis obliterans according to the guidelines;
  • Meeting at least one of the following: FEV1 < 55% of predicted value; requiring continuous assisted mechanical ventilation or oxygen therapy;
  • None of acute infections within the past four weeks;
  • Tolerating bronchoscopy;
  • The child and/or parent(s) provide informed consent, and are able to understand and adhere to scheduled visits, treatments, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) who are on a current cGVHD treatment regimen at screening.
  • At the time of screening, subject who is positive in each of treponema pallidum antibody (TP-Ab), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test. Hepatitis B virus carriers with stable current condition can be enrolled. Cured hepatitis C patients with negative result in HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test can be enrolled as well.
  • Subject who is assessed to have major lung diseases other than BO by investigators at screening or who has other severe systemic diseases within 6 months prior to screening and is considered to be unsuitable for this study by investigators.
  • Presence of severe coagulation dysfunction at screening and may compromise the safety of bronchoscopy in the investigator's judgment.
  • Subjects requiring long-term maintenance anticoagulant therapy or antiplatelet aggregation therapy, and for whom, in the investigator's assessment, the medication cannot be discontinued within a week prior to cell collection and infusion.
  • Subjects with suicide risk or a history of psychiatric disorders at screening.
  • Participation in another interventional clinical study within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Poor compliance, making him or her difficult to complete the study.
  • Subjects who is considered to be unsuitable for this study in in the opinion of the investigator.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in clinical symptoms
Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks after treatment
Cough, wheezing, respiratory rate are included in clinical symptomes. Both status and frequency would be evaluated.
12 and 24 weeks after treatment
Changes in oxygen therapy
Time Frame: 24 weeks after treatment
Oxygen saturation (SpO₂), oxygen therapy settings, and daily duration of oxygen therapy would be evaluated.
24 weeks after treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in general condition
Time Frame: 24 weeks after treatment
Rate of weight gain, time of independent activity are evaluated as general condition.
24 weeks after treatment
Change in lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) from baseline
Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks after treatment
DLCO is a measure of the conductance of CO across the alveolar-capillary membrane and its binding with hemoglobin.
12 and 24 weeks after treatment
Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) from baseline
Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks after treatment
FEV1 is the volume of breath exhaled with effort in one second.
12 and 24 weeks after treatment
Change in forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline
Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks after treatment
FVC is the full amount of air that can be exhaled with effort in a complete breath
12 and 24 weeks after treatment
Change in high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) from baseline
Time Frame: 24 weeks after treatment
HRCT scan is a type of CT scan that shows detailed pictures of lungs
