Summary

This is a Phase 2 multicenter randomized (2:1), placebo-controlled trial to evaluate early signs of efficacy of allogeneic, umbilical cord-derived (UC) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in patients with COVID-19 and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

Randomized participants (N=54) will receive 3 daily doses of up to 90-million cells/unit dose (cumulative dose of up to 270 million UC-MSCs) or blinded placebo. The MSC product will be provided as 2.5 million cells/ml suspended in PlasmaLyte A containing 5% Human Albumin. The appearance-matched placebo product contains the same excipients, PlasmaLyte A and 5% Human Albumin, as the UC-MSCs.
