Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a safety study looking at the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of Chronic Pulmonary Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We will give COPD patients 2 infusions of MSCs. The first infusion will have labelled MSCs with Indium. Following the infusion, MSCs will be tracked using nuclear medicine imaging for 5 days. Thereafter, there will be a second infusion of unlabelled MSCs. Patients will be then followed up at clinics with particular assessment of symptoms, quality of life, lung function and imrpoved well being.
The dose of MSC infusion (2 x 10 million/kg) per each of the two doses over 2 hours.
The second dose will be at day 7.
The MSCS are labelled with indium a radio-label. Therefore the stem cells will be tracked by scanning the patient and identifying the location of the stem cells on scans.
There is no controls to the study.

Primary outcome [2] 292488 0
There may be an allergic reaction to the stem cells. We will monitor the patients pulse, BP and oxygen levels. An increase in heart rate to >120, drop in BP <80 mmHg and a fall in oxygen to <90%. we will stop the infusion and give the patient antihistamines and adrenaline if required.

Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Patient suitability is deteremined by Dr Yuben Moodley - Principal Investigator. The patients who fulfill the inclusion and exclsuion criteria will then be given patient information and the offer to participate in the study. If they agree, consent is signed and the patient recruited.
