About this study

Official title: 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.

Read the 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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ADSCs administrationBiological

    Also called Autologous Adipose Derived Stem Cells

    100- 240 cc of lipoaspirate will be extracted from the patient. The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) will be isolated with minimal manipulation. The cell pellet will be reconstituted in saline solution and administered intravenously to the patient.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety of adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) in Patient with COPD

    Safety/tolerability of Adipose Derived Stem Cell (ADSC) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) during the twelve-month study period as determined by the incidence and severity of of adverse events.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Efficacy of ADSC in improving Shortness of Breath (SOB)

    The change (decrease) in patient Shortness Of Breath (SOB) as compared to baseline, measured in breath per minute, after administration of adipose derived stem cells (ADSC)

    Measured: 2, 6 and 12 months

  2. Efficacy of ADSC In Pulmonary Function Test (PFTs)

    The change (improvement) in Pulmonary Function Test (PFTs) after administration of adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) as compared to baseline.

    Measured: 2, 6, 12 months

  3. Efficacy of adipose derived stem cell in 6 MWT

    Improvement in patient ability to walk as measure using a 6 minute walk test ( in meter) as compared to baseline

    Measured: 2, 6, 12 months

  4. Efficacy of adipose derived stem cells in patient's perceived exertion.

    The change from baseline in patient perceived exertion as measure using the modified BORG scale or Rate of perceive exertion (RPE) which ranges from 1(no perceived exertion at all) to 10 (maximum perceived exertion)

    Measured: 2, 6, 12 months

  5. Efficacy in Quality of life using George's Respiratory Questionnaire

    The change from baseline in patient quality of life as measure using the George's Respiratory Questionnaire

    Measured: 2, 6, 12 months

  6. Efficacy in Quality of life using the Chronic Respiratory questionnaires

    The change from baseline in patient quality of life as measure using the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire

    Measured: 2, 6, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ADSCs administration in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Arkansas Heart Hospital at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety of adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) in Patient with COPD (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2020.
