Study Summary

This trial is testing whether mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) can help treat patients with SARS-CoV-2 associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either MSC or a placebo, with two patients receiving MSC for every one receiving the placebo.

Eligible Conditions
  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
  • Coronavirus Pneumonia

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~on the day of screening and on days 3, 7 and 14 after first infusion
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and on the day of screening and on days 3, 7 and 14 after first infusion for reporting.
