MSCTPHSCT: Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Pneumonia Post Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) treatment contribute to the good prognosis in patients with transplant-related complication, pneumonia post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Detailed Description
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a standard therapy strategy for most hematologic disorders and malignancies. Despite the improved survival attributed to advances in HSCT including transplantation techniques and supportive care, transplant-related pneumonia (severe pneumonia in particular) remains the leading cause of death for most HSCT patients and a major challenge for clinicians.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), a form of multipotent cells, have been applied in therapy for various intractable disorders. MSC exerts its therapeutic effect through various biological functions including immunoregulation, tissue repairing, self-renew and differentiating into various cell lines. The American Thoracic Society has also suggested MSCs as a cell therapy agent for lung diseases. However, MSC therapy for pneumonia following HSCT has not been well investigated.
By investigating the efficacy of MSC treatment for HSCT-related pneumonia via comparing the outcomes in patients with and without MSC treatment, this study will provide a promising therapy for HSCT-related pneumonia.
