简要总结
This is a Phase 2b multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) Allocetra-OTS 10x10^9 cells vs placebo (1:1) in adult hospitalized patients with severe or critical Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients will be followed for efficacy and safety for 6 months. The trial will include periodic and ad-hoc DSMB review during the study period.
详细描述
This is a Phase 2b multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) Allocetra-OTS 10x10^9 cells vs placebo (1:1) in adult hospitalized patients with severe or critical Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Severe and critical COVID-19 are defined as follows:
Severe COVID-19: shortness of breath at rest, or respiratory distress, or respiratory rate (RR) ≥30 per minute, or SpO2 ≤93% on room air at sea level.
Critical COVID-19: respiratory failure, requiring at least one of the following: oxygen delivered by high-flow nasal cannula or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
After a patient has signed the informed consent form (ICF), and after confirmation that the patient meets all eligibility criteria, the patient will be enrolled in the study. The two subpopulations, severely ill and critically ill patients, will be randomized 1:1 into the active treatment and placebo groups via two separate randomizations schemes.

Support by IMV/ECMO
时间窗: 28 days
If required during the period of 28 days post study treatment, a patient will be assigned the maximal score of 29.
