Therapeutic Solutions Announces Universal Donor Myeloid Derived Suppressor Therapy Platform for Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Breathe Biologics, a subsidiary of TSOI, has announced promising data regarding a novel cellular therapy targeting Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Research indicates that monocytic progenitors from umbilical cord blood can reduce inflammation and enhance lung function in animal models. The therapy’s efficacy was linked to the blockade of certain cytokines, suggesting a potential mechanism of action. Breathe Biologics plans to utilize JadiCells, currently in Phase III for COVID ARDS, for COPD treatment under IND# 28508. The collaboration highlights the innovation environment in the USA.
- New promising data for COPD treatment through a novel cellular therapy.
- Monocytic progenitors showed a reduction in inflammation and preservation of lung function in animal models.
- Acquisition of IND# 28508 for JadiCells, enhancing potential for clinical development.
- None.

The Company disclosed that administration of monocytic progenitors derived from umbilical cord blood treated under proprietary conditions were able to reduce inflammation and preserve lung function in the elastase mediated animal model of COPD. The cellular product possessed characteristics of pulmonary progenitor cells combined with immune regulatory myeloid suppressor cells.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated that blockade of the cytokine’s interleukin-10 and/or interleukin-17 negated the therapeutic effect of the cells, thus suggesting a possible mechanism of action for this novel cellular therapy.
“As a physician who has witnessed firsthand the dismal lack of options in treatment of advanced COPD, and based on our preclinical animal data, I am eager to work with regulators in accelerating translation from the bench to the clinic,” said Dr.
