Could stem cells rebuild lungs? first human trial begins for COPD

NCT ID NCT06986070

First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a new type of stem cell, called small mobile stem cells, can be safely delivered into the lungs of people with mild to moderate COPD. The trial involves 18 adults aged 39 to 69 and focuses on checking for side effects at three different doses. If safe, this approach might one day help repair lung damage, but it is not a cure and long-term management of COPD would still be needed.
