Treatment of COVID-19 Patients Using Wharton's Jelly-Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Phase 1

• Conditions: Use of Stem Cells for COVID-19 Treatment

• Registration Number: NCT04313322
• Lead Sponsor: Stem Cells Arabia

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential use of Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) for treatment of patient diagnosed with Corona Virus SARS-CoV-2 infection, and showing symptoms of COVID-19.

Detailed Description

COVID-19 is a condition caused by infection with Coronoa Virus (SARS-CoV-2). This virus has a high transmission rate and is spreading at very high rates. causing a worldwide pandemic. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and confirmed positive with the virus, will be given three IV doses of WJ-MSCs consisting of 1X10e6/kg. The three doses will be 3 days apart form each other.

Patients will be followed up for a period of three weeks to assess the severity of the condition and measure the viral titers.
