Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy in extreme preterm infants to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia, the main respiratory complication of preterm birth.

Study participants will receive either multiple intravenous doses (total of 3 doses) of MSC derived from human donor umbilical cord tissue (intervention group) or no uc-MSC injection (control group) to confirm the safety of IV MSC in extreme preterm infants and evaluate the potential benefit of MSC therapy on their respiratory health as well as on other complications related to preterm birth.

Conditions

  • Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)
  • ELGAN (22-28SA)

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

IV administration of uc-MSC every 7 days ± 1 day for 3 weeks. Randomized double blinded

OTHER

Sham procedure control

Sham procedure (mimic IV catheter insertion adn cell product infusion behing a screen). Repeated weekly for 3 weeks
