About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study To Evaluate The Safety And Efficacy Of Umc119-06-05 Intravenous Infusion For The Treatment Of Subjects With Moderate To Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This phase II study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of UMC119-06-05 compared to placebo in treating subjects with moderate to severe COPD. Eligible subjects will receive a single-dose IV infusion of UMC119-06-05 or placebo.

Read the detailed description

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterized with airflow limitation and chronic inflammation, which is caused by cigarette smoking, noxious particles or gases. These inhaled irritants will induce inflammation, emphysema and fibrosis though chronic exposure. The current pharmacological treatment of COPD is symptomatic and is mainly based on bronchodilators and corticosteroids. Although current clinical treatment strategies can improve and stabilize COPD states and quality of life, none of them are able to modify the progressive decline in lung function, meaning it gradually gets worse over time. Therefore, development of new therapeutic modalities to improve the clinical outcomes and prognosis of COPD in adult patients is of urgent need. Among the more innovative, experimental therapies, mesenchymal stromal cells are proposed as a novel therapy with potential in treatment of COPD. This clinical trial is a phase II study. It is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of the three groups: placebo control, low-dose UMC119-06-05 treatment, or high-dose UMC119-06-05 treatment. Subjects will receive a single-dose IV infusion to evaluate the efficacy and long-term safety of UMC119-06-05 with moderate to severe COPD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing UMC119-06-05 in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Meribank Biotech Co., Ltd. at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 12 inclusion and 29 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Contact Ray Chang, Ph.D. (+886-2-8978-7777 ext. 19915, ray.chang@meribank.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (time frame: From Baseline to Day 90]). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jul 2024.
