Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of MatriPlax in Subjects With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the safety, tolerability, and efficacy in study intervention, MatriPlax, in subjects with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). MatriPlax contains placenta choriodecidual membrane-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (pcMSCs). Participants will receive two doses of MatriPlax on Day 1 and Day 4 and conduct efficacy and safety evaluations until 12 months after treatment or withdrawal from the study.

Detailed Description
This open-label, dose-escalation Phase I study plans to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MatriPlax.
This is a conventional 3+3 dose-escalation study in which subjects with moderate or severe ARDS will receive intravenous MatriPlax infusion.
Participants will be assigned to one of three dose cohorts (low, middle and high doses of MatriPlax), depending on the time of their enrollment. Each participant will receive two doses of MatriPlax on Day 1 and Day 4. Each dose cohort will have three to six subjects enrolled sequentially with at least 1 week in between. All participants will be followed until 12 months after receiving MatriPlax or withdrawal from the study.
A Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) meeting will be held when all participants of each cohort complete their 28-day of treatment and evaluation period. The DSMB will determine if the study is safe to proceed to the next dose level or it requires to recruit more subjects to the concurrent dose level for safety evaluation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) up to 28 days after receiving MatriPlax [Day 1 to Day 29]
TEAEs are adverse events (AE) that occur after the study intervention administration
- The incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) up to 28 days after receiving MatriPlax [Day 1 to Day 29]
SAE is an AE that results in any of the following outcomes: Death; Life-threatening; Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; Congenital anomaly/birth defect; Based upon appropriate medical judgment, the event may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above
- The incidence of suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSAR) up to 28 days after receiving MatriPlax [Day 1 to Day 29]
SUSAR is an SAE that is considered related to study intervention and unexpected judged by sponsor and investigator
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Changes in PaO2/FiO2 ratio from baseline [Baseline, Day 4, 6, 8, 15, 29]
The PaO2/FiO2 ratio is the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2), which is an indicator of the severity of ARDS.
- Changes in Lung injury score (LIS) from baseline [Baseline, Day 8, 29]
The LIS is a standard measure of ARDS, which is composed of four components. Each component has 5 scores (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4-point) and the score of LIS is the average of the four components. A higher LIS indicates more severe lung injury.
- Overall survival [Baseline, Day 29, Month 3, 6, 9, 12]
Overall survival is defined as the time from treatment to death.
- All-cause mortality rate [Baseline, Day 29, Month 3, 6, 9, 12]
All-cause mortality rate is defined as the rate of deaths from any cause in all participants.
- Cumulative ventilator-free hours (VFH) [Day 1 to 29]
Only subjects who wean from the ventilator and have at least 48 consecutive weaning hours
- Time to the first weaning from ventilator [Up to 12 months]
Only subjects who wean from the ventilator and have at least 48 consecutive weaning hours
- Number of subjects weaned from ventilator [Day 29]
Only subjects who wean from the ventilator and have at least 48 consecutive weaning hours

Only subjects who are stable for discharge from ICU/RCC and have at least 48 consecutive hours of discharge
- Changes in Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score from baseline [Baseline, Day 4, 6, 8, 15, 29]
The SOFA is a simple and objective score to evaluate the status of organ dysfunction of six organ systems (respiratory, coagulatory, liver, cardiovascular, renal, and neurologic). A subject is defined as free of organ failure when the SOFA score is zero. The total score of SOFA is 24.
- Cumulative vasopressor free days [Day 1 to 29]
The cumulative vasopressor free days are the sum of the days without taking vasopressor up to Day 29 or death.
- Cumulative oxygen support free hours [Day 1 to 29]
The cumulative oxygen support free hours are the sum of hours without oxgen support up to Day 29 or death
- The net change in c-reactive protein (CRP) from baseline [Baseline, Day 4, 6, 8, 15, and 29]
C-reactive protein is an inflammatory marker
- The net change in D-dimer from baseline [Baseline, Day 4, 6, 8, 15, and 29]
D-dimer is an inflammatory marker
- The net change in Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) from baseline [Baseline, Day 4, 6, 8, 15, and 29]
LDH is an inflammatory marker
- The domain scores and total score of 12-item Short Form Survey (SF-12) Quality of Life (QoL) health survey questionnaire [Month 3, 6, 9, 12]
The SF-12 QoL is a self-evaluated measurement of health status. It consists of eight domains and the score of each domain is transformed to a scale from 0 to 100. Zero indicates the worst health status, while 100 indicates the best health status.

A DLT is defined as any SAE OR any equal or greater than Grade 3 (CTCAE v5.0) AE judged as MatriPlax-related during Day 1 to 29. The CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) is a classification system used to grade AE.
