Safety of Cultured Allogeneic Adult Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Intravenous Infusion for IPF

Safety of Cultured Allogeneic Adult Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Intravenous Infusion for the Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Studies have shown that stem cell treatment is safe for Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and can improve the prognosis of afflicted patients. Patients with IPF will receive a single intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells. The total dose will be 100 million cells. Patients will be evaluated within one month pre treatment and at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months post treatment for safety and efficacy.

For patients with more severe disease requiring chemotherapeutic drugs such as methotrexate, an autologous T Cell vaccine will be utilized created from the patient's own T cells obtained by apheresis
