Autologous Cellular Therapy With PRP-PC in Chronic Lung Diseases: An Observational Study LI-004

Completed
Conditions
COPD ILD
Registration Number
NCT05562843
Lead Sponsor
H-CYTE
Brief Summary

For this study, cells will be harvested from the patient from the peripheral blood, isolated and concentrated using proprietary Emcyte™ equipment/centrifugation, and then returned to the patient same day via the peripheral circulation. As circulation occurs, the concentrated cells enter the right heart and are then disseminated into the lungs, becoming trapped in the lung's microcirculation. Here, the cells are believed to produce multiple bioactive factors such as cytokines and anti-inflammatory mediators. Several growth factors are released by activated platelets becoming honing cells for healing within the tissue. The exact long-term mechanism of action of PRP-PC in the lungs remains under investigation. Safety studies have proven that autologous treatment is incredibly safe, largely because of the minimal cell manipulation and the autologous nature of the cells. Prior observational studies in this are have shown strong safety profiles as well as strong efficacy in both COPD and ILD.
