Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells as Adjuvant Therapy in Group E COPD Patients (NCT07441226) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), sponsored by RSUP Persahabatan. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic human UC-MSC to treat stage E Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). All participants in this study already receive standard treatment for COPD, which includes triple inhaled medications with LABA, LAMA and ICS. We hypothesize that UC-MSCs will improve COPD management. UC-MSCs are prepared in a certified laboratory and given intravenously. For 12 months from day 0, all patients will be observed for comprehensive safety evaluation, pulmonary function testing (PFT), quality of life indicators including questionnaires, 6-min walk test (6MWT), and inflammation biomarkers.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 20 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT07441226), the sponsor (RSUP Persahabatan), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?
