Our purpose was to compare quantitative CT-derived changes in lung fibrosis with pulmonary function, including DLCO, in human subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who received an injection of one of two different intravenous doses of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.Two three-subject cohorts from the AETHER trial (Allogeneic Human Cells in subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis via Intravenous Delivery) underwent high-resolution CT and clinical testing at baseline, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks after injection. Cohort 1 received 2x107 stem cells, and cohort 2 received 1x108 stem cells. CT scans were quantitatively analyzed for lung fibrosis using 510K cleared validated software. The percent predicted DLCO and other pulmonary function studies were obtained.The cohorts were well matched in lung fibrosis at baseline as assessed by CT scan and lung function. The mean QLF in cohort 1 increased from 13.1% at baseline to 17.1% at 48 weeks, while mean QLF in cohort 2 increased from 15.4% at baseline to 16.5% at 48 weeks. The subjects in cohort 2 progressed more slowly in whole lung fibrosis by a mean of 2.87% compared with cohort 1 (p=0.001 with adjustment of baseline covariates) during the baseline to the 48-week interval. The baseline DLCO was lower in cohort 2 than in cohort 1 (p0.0001). Over 48 weeks of the study, cohort 2 subjects demonstrated a mean DLCO decline of only 2% compared with a decline of 17% in cohort 1 subjects (p=0.02).In this pilot study, the subjects receiving 1x108 stem cells demonstrated slower progression in quantitative lung fibrosis and a smaller decrease in DLCO than subjects receiving 2x107 stem cells. |
