About this study
Official title: An Open-label Phase IIa Study to Evaluate the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of HBMMSC Injection in the Treatment of APAP
The purpose of this open-label phase IIa clinical trial study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of hBMMSC intravenous treatment in patients with aPAP.
Read the detailed description
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare lung disease for which there is no specific drug treatment. Currently, the standard treatment strategy for PAP is whole-lung lavage (WLL), which is invasive and has limited therapeutic efficacy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of hBMMSC intravenous treatment in patients with aPAP. The clinical trial intends to involve 10 participants. The trial is expected to last approximately 2 years.
- Being tested
- human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (hBMMSC)
- Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (hBMMSC) in people with Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis, run by Jiuzhitang Maker (Beijing) Cell Technology Co.,Ltd. at 1 site in China.
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 6 inclusion and 11 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Alveolar-arterial difference in oxygen tension (A-aDO2) (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 24 Mar 2025.
