Brief Summary

The mortality rate in SARS-CoV-2-related severe ARDS is high despite treatment with antivirals, glucocorticoids, immunoglobulins, and ventilation. Preclinical and clinical evidence indicate that MSCs ...

Detailed Description

This will be a randomized (1:1 ratio), double blind, parallel design, placebo controlled trial. Randomization will be stratified by clinical center and by moderate versus severe ARDS. The study is des...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria
  • 18 years or older
  • Patient has SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) confirmed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay or other diagnostic test
  • Patient requiring mechanical ventilatory support with moderate to severe ARDS as determined by the following criteria (adapted from the Berlin criteria)
  • Bilateral opacities must be present on a chest radiograph or computerized tomographic (CT) scan. These opacities are not fully explained by pleural effusions, lobar collapse, lung collapse, or pulmonary nodules.
  • Respiratory failure not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload.
  • Moderate to severe impairment of oxygenation must be present, as defined by the ratio of arterial oxygen tension to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2). The severity of the hypoxemia defines the severity of the ARDS:
  • Moderate ARDS: PaO2/FiO2 \>100 mmHg and ≤200 mmHg, on ventilator settings that include PEEP ≥5 cm H2O OR
  • Severe ARDS: PaO2/FiO2 ≤100 mmHg on ventilator settings that include PEEP ≥5 cm H2O
  • High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) or CRP serum level \>4.0 mg/dL
  • Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE IV) score \>5
  • Creatinine clearance of ≥ 30 mL/minute OR a creatinine clearance of 20-29 mL/minute with urine output of ≥0.3 mLs/kg/hour over the last 8 hours or ≥500 mLs over the last 24 hours
  • The patient or his/her legally authorized representative (LAR) is able to provide informed consent
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Currently receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV)
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating
  • Patients with established positive bacterial blood cultures prior to enrollment or suspicion of superimposed bacterial pneumonia
  • Patients with BMI \>55
  • Patients with untreated HIV infection
  • Patients with malignancy who are within 12 months of active treatment with any chemotherapy, radiation or immunotherapy.
  • Patients who have been intubated for more than 72 hours in total at the time of randomization
  • Creatinine clearance less than 20 mL/minute or receiving renal replacement therapy
  • LFTs (isolated ALT or AST) \> 8x upper limit of normal or \> 5x upper limit of normal in the setting of other liver function abnormalities (i.e., total bilirubin ≥ 2x upper limit of normal)
  • Known hypersensitivity to DMSO or to porcine or bovine proteins
  • History of prior respiratory disease with requirement for supplemental oxygen
  • Any end-stage organ disease which in the opinion of the investigator may possibly affect the safety of remestemcel-L treatment
  • Receiving an investigational cellular therapy agent
