Summary

This is a randomized phase II placebo controlled clinical trial. Active arm: Allogeneic Wharton's jelly derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs). Both groups will receive standard of care treatment for COVID (e.g. dexamethasone)

Conditions

  • Covid19

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Allogeneic Wharton's jelly-MSCs (WJ-MSC)

The product is provided cryopreserved by NextCell Pharma. The cells are frozen in cryobags at a concentration of 2 × 107 cells/ml in 5% Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and 10% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). One cryobag contains one dose. The bags are frozen in a controlled rate freezer and directly transferred to -190 ºC for storage until the time of infusion. Cryobags are thawed at bedside and diluted in 100 ml of saline prior to administration. Cells will be delivered at a rate of 5 million cells per minute over a total of 20 minutes.

OTHER

Placebo

Sodium chloride buffer supplemented with 5% HSA and 10% DMSO same volume and mode of administration as treatment group
