This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of oral Cyclosporine A (CsA)
in patients with advanced stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The purpose of the
study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CsA as a therapy for the adaptive immune
response in advanced stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Subjects between 45 and 80 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of advanced stage COPD,
not responsive to conventional inhaler therapy, who meet all the study requirements, will be
enrolled in this study. A total of 30 subjects of either sex will be enrolled in this study.

Primary | Safety Profile of Oral Cyclosporin A Immunotherapy in Advanced Stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients- Nephrotoxicity - Measured by Serum Creatinine | Measurement of nephrotoxicity by monitoring serum creatinine over 16 week treatment interval. Mean serum creatinine values were assessed at Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16. The mean values of all measurements for each participant were calculated and then the mean across participants was calculated. Values expressed as mean ± SD. | 16 weeks | |
Primary | Safety Profile of Oral Cyclosporin A Immunotherapy in Advanced Stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients - Number of Patients That Developed Renal Insufficiency | Development of renal insufficiency defined as > 30% elevation in serum creatinine above baseline which required dose modification of the cyclosporine over 16 week treatment interval at Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16. Outcome measured the number of subjects who developed renal insufficiency during the study treatment interval. | 16 weeks | |
Primary | Safety Profile of Oral Cyclosporin A Immunotherapy in Advanced Stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients - Number of Patients That Developed Infection Requiring Systemic Antibiotic Therapy | Clinical diagnosis of infection which requires systemic antibiotic therapy during the 16 week study interval at Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16. Outcome measured the number of subjects who developed an infection requiring systemic antibiotic therapy during the study treatment interval. | 16 weeks | |
Secondary | Pharmacokinetic - Pharmacodynamic Relationship of Oral Cyclosporine and Biomarkers of an Adaptive Immune Response - Cyclosporine Blood Levels | Cyclosporine blood levels on therapy over 16 week treatment interval were measured at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 & 16. The median for each participant was found and then the overall median was determined. Values expressed as median (full range). | 16 weeks | |
Secondary | Peripheral Blood T Cell Biomarkers Over 16 Week Treatment Interval - Change in the Percentage of Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) | Outcome measured the change in the percentage of cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) at midpoint assessment (Week 8) and at the conclusion of treatment (Week 16).
