Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Conditioned media from cultures of allogeneic, bone marrow derived, culture expanded, mesenchymal stromal cells will be produced by CTTWA at RPH. Collection, manufacturing and administration of MSC are performed according to Good Manufacturing Practise (GMP) standards, TGA licenced and audited regularly by the TGA.

Patients will receive one dose (5ml) of nebulised mesenchymal stromal cells conditioned media (MSC-CM) on Day 0, administered by A/Prof Yuben Moodley (Respiratory Physician). Duration of treatment (nebulisation) take about 5 minutes to complete. One of the identified active anti-inflammatory mediators in MSC-CM is soluble TNF receptor 1 (sTNFR1) present at a concentration of ~50 pg/mL. The level of sTNFR1 will first be measured in the batch of MSC-CM used for this study and all participant will receive the same batch of MSC-CM, hence no adjustment of the inhalant is required between participants.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 328197 0
Safety and tolerability of nebulised MSC conditioned media (Neb-MSC-CM) in patients with COPD.

On the Day:
1. Physical examinations
2. Vital signs (Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Temperature and Blood pressure using electronic sphygmomanometer and digital thermometer)
3. any adverse events
will be recorded 15 mins prior to the procedure and every 15 minutes for 2hr post-treatment.

Day 2, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90 follow-up:
• Adverse reactions such as cough, wheezing, increased shortness of breath and exacerbations will be recorded
Timepoint [1] 328197 0
On the Day of treatment - every 15 min for 2 hours (15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120 mins) post-treatment.

Follow-up: Day 2, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90
Secondary outcome [1] 397992 0

Timepoint [2] 398531 0
Day 0, 2, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90
Secondary outcome [3] 398532 0
Efficacy as indicated by:
- Bloods for routine diagnostic tests (e.g. full blood count, renal and liver function, CRP).
Timepoint [3] 398532 0
Day 0, 2, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90
Secondary outcome [4] 398533 0
Efficacy as indicated by:.
• Bloods for research for the measurement of plasma inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecules (e.g. IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF by cytometric bead array or CRP, TGFß and sTNFR1 by ELISA) and isolation and cryopreservation of PBMC to assess changes in the systemic cell populations and the expression of activation markers by flow cytometry.
These will be assessed as a composite outcome.
