About this trial
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, progressive, and heterogeneous respiratory disorder. It is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, leading to progressive decline in lung function, impaired quality of life, and a significant healthcare burden. REGEND001, made from airway basal stem cells with ability to regenerate lung tissue, is promising to COPD treatment. In this study, a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-parallel-controlled trial is performed to verify the efficacy and safety of REGEND001 in treatment of COPD patients with emphysema.

Treatments tested in this trial
Placebo
Biological/VaccineParticipants enrolled will have a bronchoscopy with brushing for cell collection, followed by a single adiministratoin of placebo via bronchoscopy and 1 year of follow-up.
REGEND001
Biological/VaccineParticipants enrolled will have a bronchoscopy with brushing for cell collection, followed by a single adiministratoin of REGEND001 via bronchoscopy and 1 year of follow-up.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change from baseline in the measured Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO)
The change from baseline in measured DLCO is defined as the difference between the absolute measured DLCO value at baseline and that measured at the assessment time point after treatment.
Secondary outcomes
Change from baseline in COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score
The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is an 8-item questionnaire used to assess the impact of COPD on health status. The total score ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating a greater impact of COPD and worse health status. Change from baseline is calculated as the post-treatment CAT score minus the baseline CAT score.
Proportion of subjects with a ≥2-point improvement or worsening from baseline in CAT score
Minimal clinically important difference for CAT is recognized as 2 points.
Change from baseline in DLCO
DLCO is assessed by absolute measured value, hemoglobin (Hb)-corrected measured/predicted ratios and corresponding area under curve (AUC).
Proportion of subjects with a ≥11% relative improvement or worsening from baseline in absolute measured DLCO
Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of DLCO is recognized as 11%.
