Adipose Derived Stem Cells Transplantation for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

December 30, 2015 updated by: Phuc Van Pham, University of Science Ho Chi Minh City

Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Adipose Derived Stem Cells Transplantation for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the name for a collection of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airways disease. People with COPD have difficulties breathing, primarily due to the narrowing of their airways, this is called airflow obstruction.

Some preclinical evaluations showed that COPD is closely related to chronic inflammation; therefore, this study aimed to use adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in the form of non-expanded culture - that usually names as a stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in combination with activated platelet rich plasma (PRP) to treat this disease. Both SVF and PRP are autologous sources that obtained from adipose tissue and peripheral blood, respectively. This mixture is intravenously transfused into the patients.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Treatment
Autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) will be transfused into 20 COPD patients.
Adipose derived stem cells that are isolated from adipose tissue are mesenchymal stem cells with high immune modulation capacity. Therefore, they can effectively modulate the immune system.
Other Names:
  • Adipose derived stem cells and platelet rich plasma
  • ADSC and PRP
