Mechanisms of Interferon Gamma-primed Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) for Moderate-to-severe Persistent Asthma

Studying new cell therapy for moderate-to-severe asthma.

18-30 years
All
Phase 1
This study is exploring a new treatment for people with **moderate-to-severe asthma**, which is a breathing problem that doesn't go away easily even with medication. The treatment uses special cells called **Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)** that come from bone marrow and help reduce inflammation and repair tissues. There are two types of these cells being tested: **cMSCs** from cord tissue and **γMSCs** that are specially prepared. The study aims to check if these treatments are safe for patients. **Key Points**: - The study lasts 1 year and involves up to 12 visits. - Participants will receive a single infusion of cells and are compensated for their time. - The study is conducted in Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University. To be part of the study, you must be 18 to 30 years old, have had asthma since childhood, and meet other specific health criteria. Some people may not get direct benefits from the study, but it can help improve asthma care in the future. If you join, you will need to avoid other new asthma treatments during the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
