Summary

A Phase II Randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the safety and efficacy of exosomes overexpressing CD24 to prevent clinical deterioration .The study population will include patients with moderate or severe COVID-19 infection and laboratory markers predictive of the cytokine storm from the Corona department of each site, who have provided an informed consent.

155 patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either 1010 exosome particles (103 patients) or placebo (52 patients).The exosomes will be diluted in 4ml normal saline for inhalation, administered once daily (QD) for 5 days.

Placebo (saline) will be prepared for inhalation and administered in the same manner as the exosomes.

Conditions

  • COVID-19 Disease

Interventions

DRUG

Exosomes overexpressing CD24

The suggested therapeutic agent here is based on an existing therapeutic platform that uses exosomes that were engineered to overexpress CD24 that can directly suppress the cytokine storm. The exosomes will be isolated and purified from human embryonic kidney T-REx™-293 cells that constitutively express high levels of human CD24.
