What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

Researchers test whether intravenous infusions of donated umbilical cord or placental stem cells are safe for people with pulmonary diseases such as asthma and COPD. The trial enrolls 20 adults with a diagnosed lung condition. Participants receive the stem cell infusions, and doctors monitor for side effects and measure changes in lung function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord or placental derived mesenchymal stem cells
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new cell-based treatment for chronic lung diseases like asthma and COPD.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage safety trial, so it may not show any benefit. Stem cell infusions can cause immune reactions or other complications.
