Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of UC-MSCs for COVID-19 Patients (NCT NCT04355728)

NCT ID: NCT04355728

Last Updated: 2021-12-06

Results Overview

Safety as defined by the number of pre-specified infusion associated adverse events as assessed by treating physician. Any of the following occurring within 6 h post each infusion: 1. An increase in vasopressor dose greater than or equal to the following: * Norepinephrine: 10 μg/min * Phenylephrine: 100 μg/min * Dopamine: 10 μg/kg/min * Epinephrine: 10 μg/min 2. In patients receiving mechanical ventilation: worsening hypoxemia, as assessed by a requirement for an increase of PEEP by 5 cm H2O over baseline, or requirement to increase FiO2 of \>20%. 3. In patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy: worsening hypoxemia, as indicated by requirement of intubation and mechanical ventilation. 4. New cardiac arrhythmia requiring cardioversion 5. New ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or asystole 6. A clinical scenario consistent with transfusion incompatibility or transfusion-related infection 7. Cardiac arrest or death within 24h post infusion

UC-MSCs Group
Participants in this group will be treated with two infusions of UC-MCSs along with heparin (blood thinner) in addition to standard of care treatment. The first infusion will be administered within 24 hours of study enrollment and the second infusion will be administered within 72 hours of study enrollment. Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells + Heparin along with best supportive care.: UC-MSC will be administered at 100x10\^6 cells/infusion administered intravenously in addition to the standard of care treatment.
Control Group
Participants in this group will be treated with two infusions of vehicle along with heparin (blood thinner) in addition to standard of care treatment. The first infusion will be administered within 24 hours of study enrollment and the second infusion will be administered within 72 hours of study enrollment. Vehicle + Heparin along with best supportive care: Best supportive care treatment per the treating hospital protocol.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 and 24 hours

Population: In the UC-MSC treatment group, 4 participants were on mechanical ventilation and 8 participants were receiving high flow oxygen therapy. In the control group 7 participants were on mechanical ventilation and 5 participants were receiving high flow oxygen therapy.

Safety as defined by the number of pre-specified infusion associated adverse events as assessed by treating physician. Any of the following occurring within 6 h post each infusion: 1. An increase in vasopressor dose greater than or equal to the following: * Norepinephrine: 10 μg/min * Phenylephrine: 100 μg/min * Dopamine: 10 μg/kg/min * Epinephrine: 10 μg/min 2. In patients receiving mechanical ventilation: worsening hypoxemia, as assessed by a requirement for an increase of PEEP by 5 cm H2O over baseline, or requirement to increase FiO2 of \>20%. 3. In patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy: worsening hypoxemia, as indicated by requirement of intubation and mechanical ventilation. 4. New cardiac arrhythmia requiring cardioversion 5. New ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or asystole 6. A clinical scenario consistent with transfusion incompatibility or transfusion-related infection 7. Cardiac arrest or death within 24h post infusion

In the control group one subject was not included in the analysis due to death before day 6, three patients were ventilated, and one patient data was not collected.

Respiratory Rate-Oxygenation (ROX) index is defined as the ratio of oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2)/ Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) to respiratory rate. This index can be used in the assessment of disease progression and the risk of intubation in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.

Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Scores is used to track a person's risk status during stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The score is based on six different scores, one each for the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal, and neurological systems. Each organ system is assigned a point value from a minimum of 0 (normal) to a maximum of 4 (high degree of dysfunction/failure). The total score corresponds to the sum of the six different scores of the organ systems. In total, the minimum SOFA score is 0 (normal) and the maximum SOFA score is 24 (highest degree dysfunction/failure).
