A Clinical Study of REGEND001 for the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

A Multicenter, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Confirmatory Clinical Trial of Autologous REGEND001 Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, progressive, and heterogeneous respiratory disorder. It is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, leading to progressive decline in lung function, impaired quality of life, and a significant healthcare burden. REGEND001, made from airway basal stem cells with ability to regenerate lung tissue, is promising to COPD treatment. In this study, a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-parallel-controlled trial is performed to verify the efficacy and safety of REGEND001 in treatment of COPD patients with emphysema.
