STAT: Mesenchymal Stromal Cells For Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of a single dose of Allogeneic Bone Marrow-derived Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (hMSCs) infusion in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This study is the extension of the Phase 1 pilot study (NCT01775774) and Phase 2a study (NCT02097641).

Detailed Description
This clinical study design is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial using a 10 million cell/kg dose of human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (hMSCs). Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 randomization scheme to receive hMSCs or cell reconstitution media (1:1 mix of 5% human serum albumin and 10% Dextran 40) as the placebo; the study will enroll 120 patients who achieve a stable clinical baseline and receive study product (either hMSCs or the placebo).
The Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review adverse outcomes and protocol compliance. A pre-specified interim review will occur after 60 subjects have been enrolled and received study product; enrollment will continue during the DSMB review. All pre-specified clinically important events and unexpected serious adverse events including death during hospitalization up to 60 days will be reported to the DSMB on an ongoing basis; the study will be stopped for a safety evaluation by the DSMB if they have any concerns or if three subjects have pre-specified clinically important events or unexpected serious adverse events except death since death will be common in this critically ill population due the nature of the underlying illness (e.g., ARDS).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in oxygenation index (OI) [36 hours]
Change in OI from baseline over the 36 hours following the infusion of study product
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Acute Lung Injury Score (LIS) [7 days]
LIS over 7 days, or on the last day of positive pressure ventilation prior to day 7. The LIS is a composite 4-point scoring system including the PaO2/FiO2, PEEP, lung compliance, and the extent of infiltrates on the chest X-ray. Each of the four components is categorized from 0 to 4, where a higher number is worse. The total Lung Injury Score is obtained by dividing the aggregate sum by the number of components used.
- Pulmonary Dead Space Fraction [7 days]
Pulmonary Dead Space at day 1, 2, 3 and 7. The dead-space fraction is calculated as: (PaCO2 - PeCO2) ÷ PaCO2
- Chest radiograph assessment of pulmonary edema (RALE score) [7 days]
RALE score at day 1, 2, 3 and 7. To calculate RALE, each radiographic quadrant is scored for extent of consolidation (0-4) and density of opacification (1-3). The product of the consolidation and density scores for each of the four quadrants is summed. The RALE score ranges from 0 (best) to 48 (worst).
- Ventilator free-days [28 days]
Ventilator free-days over 7, 14 and 28 days
- Duration of assisted ventilation over 28 days [28 days]
Duration of assisted ventilation over 28 days in the survivors
- Percentage of patients achieving pressure support ventilation for 2 hours [28 days]
Percentage of patients achieving pressure support ventilation equal to 5 cm H2O with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) equal to 5 cm H2O for 2 hours
- Occurrence of Infection [14 days]
Superficial incisional/wound infections, deep incisional wound infections, and organ/space infections, and ventilator associated pneumonia (all during the 14 days after enrollment)
- Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) over 7 days [7 days]
SOFA score at 3 and 7 days. The score is based on six different scores, one each for the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological systems which are added up. Each score ranges from 0 to 4. SOFA score ranges from 0 (best) to 24 (worst).
- All-cause hospital mortality [60 days]
All-cause hospital mortality at 14, 28 and 60 days
- Glasgow Outcome Score (GCS) [60 days]
Glasgow Outcome Score at hospital discharge. The GCS is a scale to evaluate level of consciousness in patients with acute brain injury. The scale assesses 3 functions: Eye Opening, Verbal Response, and Motor Response. GCS scores range from 15 (best) to 3 (worst)
- Percentage of patients occurred any thromboembolic events [60 days]
Thromboembolic events are measured by ultrasound of the deep venous system or CT-angiography of the chest ordered for clinical purposes/by treating clinicians
- Plasma angiopoietin-2 [72 hours]
Change in levels of plasma angiopoietin-2 from baseline compared to 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours
- Plasma Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) [72 hours]
Change in levels of plasma RAGE from baseline compared to 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours
