Main purpose

-To explore the safety and tolerance of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Secondary purpose

  • To explore the preliminary efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and to recommend the appropriate dose of cell therapy for subsequent clinical studies.
  • To explore the immunogenicity of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Dose escalation
Four different doses were set, and three subjects in each dose plan received human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection successively. Each subject received a single dose of 6.0*10^6, 3.0*10^7, 6.0*10^7, and 9.0*10^7 cells / person.
Different doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection were infused to the focus of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis through bronchoscope, and the tolerance of subjects to different doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection was observed, and the curative effect was preliminarily observed.
