Summary

This study is a two strata, dose escalation Phase I clinical trial designed to assess the safety and determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of allogenic cord tissue derived MSCs (cMSCs, stratum 1) and allogeneic, interferon-γ primed bone marrow MSCs (γMSCs, stratum 2). Each stratum is designed to independently accrue 3 children at a dose level 1 of 2x106 cells/kg and 6 children at dose level 2 of 10x106 cells/kg, resulting in 9 children in each stratum. The primary objectives are to determine the safety and toxicity of allogeneic cord tissue derived MSCs and allogeneic interferon-γ primed bone marrow derived MSCs.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Albuterol Sulfate

Participants who experience symptoms of cough, dyspnea, chest tightness or wheezing will initiate use of albuterol (2 inhalations, 90 mcg/actuation) by metered dose inhaler (MDI) every 20 minutes for up to 1 hour and then every 4 hours if necessary.

DRUG

Interferon gamma-primed mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)

IFNγ-primed bone marrow MSCs at a dose level of 2x106 cells/kg and a dose level of 5x106 cells/kg

DRUG

Prednisone

Prednisone is recommended if the participant uses more than 12 inhalations of albuterol in 24 hours (excluding preventive use before exercise), or if the patient has ongoing symptoms for 48 hours or longer. The recommended prednisone dose for acute exacerbations is 2 mg/kg/day (maximum 60 mg) as a single dose for two days followed by 1 mg/kg/day (maximum 30 mg) as a single dose for two days. All administered doses will be rounded down to the nearest 10 mg.
