NCT07239895

Brief Summary

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a chronic lung disease which was initiated with injury of the bronchiolar epithelium and resulted in nonuniform luminal obliteration or narrowing. Among children, the most common form of BO is post-infectious BO with a lack of treatment guidelines or standard therapy. In this study, an open, single-armed study is performed to preliminarily evaluate the safety and efficacy of airway basal stem cells on treatment of pediatric BO.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in clinical symptoms

    Cough, wheezing, respiratory rate are included in clinical symptomes. Both status and frequency would be evaluated.

    12 and 24 weeks after treatment

  • Changes in oxygen therapy

    Oxygen saturation (SpO₂), oxygen therapy settings, and daily duration of oxygen therapy would be evaluated.

    24 weeks after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Changes in general condition

    24 weeks after treatment

  • Change in lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) from baseline

    12 and 24 weeks after treatment

  • Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) from baseline

    12 and 24 weeks after treatment

  • Change in forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline

    12 and 24 weeks after treatment

  • Change in high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) from baseline

    24 weeks after treatment

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age28 Days - 18 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Males and females, aged between 28 days and 18 years;
  • Diagnosed with bronchiolitis obliterans according to the guidelines;
  • Meeting at least one of the following: FEV1 \< 55% of predicted value; requiring continuous assisted mechanical ventilation or oxygen therapy;
  • None of acute infections within the past four weeks;
  • Tolerating bronchoscopy;
  • The child and/or parent(s) provide informed consent, and are able to understand and adhere to scheduled visits, treatments, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) who are on a current cGVHD treatment regimen at screening.
  • At the time of screening, subject who is positive in each of treponema pallidum antibody (TP-Ab), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test. Hepatitis B virus carriers with stable current condition can be enrolled. Cured hepatitis C patients with negative result in HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test can be enrolled as well.
  • Subject who is assessed to have major lung diseases other than BO by investigators at screening or who has other severe systemic diseases within 6 months prior to screening and is considered to be unsuitable for this study by investigators.
  • Presence of severe coagulation dysfunction at screening and may compromise the safety of bronchoscopy in the investigator's judgment.
  • Subjects requiring long-term maintenance anticoagulant therapy or antiplatelet aggregation therapy, and for whom, in the investigator's assessment, the medication cannot be discontinued within a week prior to cell collection and infusion.
  • Subjects with suicide risk or a history of psychiatric disorders at screening.
  • Participation in another interventional clinical study within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Poor compliance, making him or her difficult to complete the study.
  • Subjects who is considered to be unsuitable for this study in in the opinion of the investigator.
