About this trial

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of REGEND001, an autologous bronchial basal layer stem cell therapy, in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The treatment involves harvesting the patient's own stem cells (expressing KRT5/P63 markers), expanding them ex vivo, and administering them via bronchoscopic infusion to regenerate damaged lung tissue.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 40-75 years.

Confirmed diagnosis of ILD (e.g., IPF, connective tissue disease-associated ILD).

DLCO ≥30% and <80% predicted.

Disqualifiers

Pregnancy, lactation, or plans for pregnancy within 1 year.

Active malignancy or history of malignancy.

Positive serology for HIV, HBV, HCV, or syphilis.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • REGEND001 Autologous Basal Layer Stem Cell Suspension

    Biological/Vaccine

    REGEND001 Autologous Basal Layer Stem Cell Suspension is an innovative cell therapy product designed for chronic structural lung diseases, such as bronchiectasis. This treatment involves harvesting regenerative stem cells (expressing KRT5/P63 markers) from the patient's own bronchial basal layer via fiberoptic bronchoscopy. After isolation, purification, and ex vivo expansion, the cells are administered as a suspension through bronchoscopic infusion into damaged lung segments.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in DLCO from baseline.

The diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is a measurement of the gas transfer capacity of lung.

Time frame
Baseline, 4 weeks post treatment, 24 weeks post treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in FVC from baseline

The forced vital capacity (FVC) is a measurement of the airflow capacity.

Time frame
Baseline, 4 weeks post treatment, 24 weeks post treatment
2

Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 6 months
3

High-resolution CT (HRCT) imaging scores

Time frame
Baseline, 4 weeks post treatment, 24 weeks post treatment
4

Quality of life (QoL) assessment via validated respiratory questionnaires

Score range: 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome

Time frame
Baseline, 4 weeks post treatment, 24 weeks post treatment
