Overview
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).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients will be eligible for inclusion if they meet all of the below criteria within 14 days of initial ICU admission. Criteria 1-3 must all be present within a 24-hour time period and at the time of enrollment:
- •Acute onset (defined below) of:
- •A need for positive pressure ventilation by an endotracheal or tracheal tube with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio \<250 mmHg and ≥5 cm H2O positive end-expiratory airway pressure (PEEP), as per the Berlin Criteria.
- •Bilateral infiltrates consistent with pulmonary edema (defined below) on the frontal chest radiograph, or bilateral ground glass opacities on a chest CT scan.
- •No clinical evidence of left atrial hypertension as a primary explanation for the bilateral pulmonary infiltrates.
- •If the cause of ARDS is trauma, additional inclusion criteria will include ONE of the following relevant risk factors for developing ARDS:
- •Hypotension (systolic blood pressure\[SBP\] \< 90 mmHg) in the field or in the first 24 h after injury, or
- •Transfusion of 3 units of blood products in the first 24 hours following injury, or
- •Meets the new Critical Administration Threshold (CAT) criteria with at least 3 units of blood in one hour, or
- •Blunt or penetrating torso trauma, or
Exclusion Criteria
- •Age less than 18 years
- •Greater than 72 hours since first meeting ARDS criteria per the Berlin definition of ARDS

- •Unable to obtain informed consent/no surrogate available
- •Pregnant or lactating
- •In custody of law enforcement officials
- •Burns \> 20% of total body surface area
- •WHO Class III or IV pulmonary hypertension
Arms & Interventions
Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
A single dose of 10 million cells/kg predicted body weight (PBW) Allogeneic Bone Marrow-Derived Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells will administered intravenously over approximately 60-80 minutes.
Intervention: Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
Cell Reconstitution Media
A single dose of cell reconstitution media (1:1 mix of 5% human serum albumin and 10% Dextran 40) will administered intravenously over approximately 60-80 minutes.
Intervention: Cell Reconstitution Media
