COPD and stem cell protocols

by mruttenber, May 20, 2008 05:52PM

I have a friend who has been dx with copd. Her pulmonary specialist has asked her to take part in a study ( Charlotte, NC) that will involve stem cell/ placebo research. Is National Jewish involved in this study and if not--why not?

Unfortunately National Jewish Medical and Research Center is not involved in this study. In order to locate the study that you are describing, it would be helpful to know who the sponsor is and contact them directly. The sponsor usually has a list of participating sites.
