Autologous Stem Cell Treatment for Chronic Lung Disease Study
Completed
Conditions studied: COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease
In brief
The purpose of the Lung Institute is to collect and isolate a patient's own cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP) and deliver the product back to the patient the same day. Lung Institute's treatment is limited to self-funded patients with chronic lung disease- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and restrictive lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). The patient's cells and platelet rich plasma are harvested through venous or bone marrow collection techniques. The hypothesized outcomes of therapy are safety and minimization of adverse events, a perceived improvement in the patient's lung condition (to be determined by their perceived quality of life), an improvement in the FEV1 among COPD patients, the ability to reduce supplemental oxygen use, the ability to function well without the use of rescue inhalers, reduction of secondary pulmonary infections, reduction in emergency room visits and exacerbations related to their disease.
