Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
An open label clinical study to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of MesenCure, an allogeneic cell therapy product, for the treatment of the pulmonary manifestations in COVID19 patients
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Primary endpoint: The IV administration of MesenCure is safe under the following conditions:
in subjects hospitalized with COVID19 moderate to severe disease, defined upon clinical situation and radiologic findings.
Secondary endpoint: The IV administration of MesenCure is efficacious under the following conditions:
Clinical parameters: Health questionnaire, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, RA O2 saturation, hospitalization duration.
______________________________________________________ Laboratory findings: leukocyte and lymphocyte count, CRP, D-Dimer, renal and liver function, optional: cytokine levels.
______________________________________________________ Radiologic findings: pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusion.
