A Global Expanded Access Protocol on Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived Extracellular Vesicle Infusion Treatment for Patients With COVID-19 Associated ARDS
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Infusion Treatment Using Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (bmMSC) Derived Extracellular Vesicle Product, ExoFlo™, for COVID-19 Associated ARDS (EXIT COVID-19), is currently being studied in Protocol DB-EF-PhaseII-001 in patients with COVID-19 associated moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
This expanded access protocol is an open-label study intended to provide ExoFlo to critically ill patients who do not qualify for the Phase II randomized controlled trial because they:
-
Do not meet phase II eligibility criteria at current phase II sites.
-
Do meet phase II eligibility criteria but cannot access phase II sites.
-
Do not meet phase II eligibility criteria & cannot access phase II sites. •
