Brief Summary:
Allogeneic mesenchymal trophic factors (MTF) from human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) administered intra-nasally to 20 patients is a safe and useful procedure for inducing improvements in pulmonary function and quality of life in patients with asthma.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Asthma Biological: Trophic factors from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
The proposed study will assess primary safety and secondary efficacy endpoints of allogeneic UC-MSC-derived MTF administered to patients with asthma. Each patient will receive intra-nasal MTF once per week for a period of 4 weeks.

    1. After first treatment
    2. After final treatment

  3. Number of patients with a change in quality of life from baseline as measured by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Asthma Questionnaire [ Time Frame: a) 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks b) 1 month ]
    1. After first treatment
    2. After last treatment

Ages Eligible for Study:   21 Years to 60 Years   (Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female
  • Between 18 and 65 years old and capability to comprehend this trial.
  • Asthma diagnosed by a physician at least 1 year prior to study enrollment
  • Poorly-controlled asthma at study enrollment. Poorly controlled asthma is defined as: chronic symptoms, episodic exacerbations, persistent and variable airways obstruction despite a continued requirement for short-acting beta 2-agonists despite the use of high doses of inhaled steroids.
  • Nonsmokers (stopped smoking at least 1 year ago) and limited life-time history of smoking (less than a 3 pack year history).
  • Body mass index 19-40
  • On a stable dose of inhaled corticosteroid for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry or had to use a rescue dose during the last 4 weeks.
  • FEV1 >50% predicted

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Cognitively impaired adults
  • Systemic steroids within the 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for arthritis
  • Current diagnosis of polyposis or sinusitis.
  • Infection treated by antibiotics within the 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Immunization within the 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Lung pathology other than asthma
  • Other significant non-pulmonary co-morbidities such as: coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, congestive heart failure with an ejection fraction <50%, liver disease or elevated liver enzymes at baseline, malignancy (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers), AIDS, renal failure with serum creatinine >3.0, or disorders requiring steroid treatment such as vasculitis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis
  • Illicit drug use within the past year
  • Current/active upper respiratory infection (URI) (if active URI, wait until asymptomatic for 1 week to enroll)
  • Asthma exacerbation within the 4 weeks prior to enrollment (includes ER, urgent care, or hospital visits due to asthma resulting in an increase in asthma-related medications)
  • Undergoing evaluation for sleep apnea, or plans to institute treatment for sleep apnea (patients on a stable treatment regimen for sleep apnea for the last 3 months prior to enrollment will be allowed to participate)
  • Clinically significant abnormalities present on screening 12-lead electrocardiogram
  • Women of childbearing potential using oral contraceptives who are not willing to use a second method of contraception during the study
  • Participation in another clinical study within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Subject does not sign informed consent
