Clinical trials

This is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalation clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nebulized 3D-cultured human placental mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hPMSC-EVs) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Eligible participants will be assigned to one of three dose groups (1.0×10⁹, 2.0×10⁹, or 3.0×10⁹ particles per treatment) using a 3+3 design. All participants will receive nebulized hPMSC-EVs twice daily for 7 consecutive days. The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of hPMSC-EVs, including the incidence of adverse events, changes in vital signs, laboratory tests, and immune markers. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in lung function (FVC, DLCO), 6-minute walking distance, respiratory symptoms (SGRQ score), and chest HRCT findings. Participants will undergo screening visits, treatment administration, and follow-up visits up to 12 months after the first dose to monitor safety and efficacy outcomes.
