Results of a First-in-Man Study of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome

      Introduction: Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) represent an attractive cellular therapeutic target given their immunosuppressive and tolerogenic properties and relative immune privilege. Preclinical studies and human trials in graft versus host disease suggest potential efficacy in bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). The purpose of this dual centre, phase 1 study (www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT01175655) was to explore the feasibility and safety of delivery of allogeneic MSC in patients with BOS complicating lung transplantation.
