Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A Phase I/II Randomized, Double Blinded, Placebo Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Potential Efficacy of Intravenous Infusion (IV) of Zofin for the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
|
Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Total of 20 adult patients will be chosen from population of adults between the age of 40 to 80 diagnosed with COPD to be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms including IV infusion of Zofin or IV infusion on sterile saline.
The subjects will be followed for 12 months to demonstrate safety and efficacy of Zofin.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Group 1: Zofin Group 1 Treatment Arm (10 subjects): Zofin + Standard of care (SOC) Ten subjects will receive 1 mL of Zofin on Day 0, Day 4, and Day 8, containing 1-5 x 10^11 particles/ml. The Zofin dose will be diluted in 100 mL of sterile saline at subject's bedside. In addition to Zofin all subjects in this trial will receive SOC throughout the study period. |
Drug: Zofin
Intravenous Infusion (IV) of Zofin
|
| Placebo Comparator: Group 2: Placebo Group 2 Control Arm (10 subjects): Placebo + SOC Ten subjects will receive placebo on Day 0, Day 4, and Day 8, containing 101 mL of sterile saline at subject's bedside. In addition to placebo all subjects in this trial will receive SOC throughout the study period. |
Other: Placebo
Intravenous Infusion of sterile saline

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety of Zofin [first 30 days]
To demonstrate the safety of Zofin administered intravenously in subjects with COPD by measuring incidence of any of the following treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TE-SAEs) within the first 30 days of infusion: Life-threatening event (e.g., stroke or non-fatal pulmonary embolism). Event requiring inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization (e.g., for worsening dyspnea). Event resulting in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. Event resulting in death. Frequency and severity of any adverse events from Day 0 (day of treatment) up to 12 months of treatment will similarly be observed.
