Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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.

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.

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether an inhaled protein from donated fat tissue can help people with pulmonary fibrosis, a lung-scarring disease. Seven participants will inhale the protein every 3 days for 7 doses. The study measures safety and changes in breathing and quality of life, but has no control group, so results will be very preliminary.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cell-free fat extract (CEFFE) from donated fat tissue
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new inhaled treatment to ease breathing and improve quality of life for people with pulmonary fibrosis.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, tiny trial with only 7 people and no comparison group. It is designed mainly to check safety, not prove effectiveness. The treatment may not work or could cause side effects.

Patients with active infection within 4 weeks; 3. Patients with acute exacerbation of pulmonary fibrosis within 4 weeks or/and those who require high-flow oxygen (oxygen concentration greater than or equal to 40% or oxygen flow greater than or equal to 5L/min), non-invasive or invasive ventilator-assisted ventilation 4. Patients with a history of tumor or current tumors; 5. The patient has a severe life-threatening disease and is expected to survive less than 12 months; 6. The patient has leukopenia (neutrophil count\< 1000/mm3); 7. Patients with severe renal impairment: creatinine clearance \< 30ml/min/1.73m2 or serum creatinine \>265μmol/L (\>3mg/dL); 8.

Long-term use of glucocorticoids for treatment of more than 10 mg of prednisone or equivalent, immunosuppressants or antifibrotic drugs, such as penicillamine, colchicine, cyclosporine A, TNFα antagonists, imatinib, IFN-γ, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide; 11. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or do not use proper contraception; 12. Those who are allergic to known ingredients of drugs and who are known or suspected of being allergic to the active or inactive ingredients of the study drug; 13. Allergy to acetaminophen or history of hypersensitivity reactions; 14.
