Brief Summary

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical activity of Itolizumab in subjects with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by Infectious Pneumonia.

Detailed Description

The study will enroll approximately 38 subjects in two parts:

Part 1 is an open label 3+3 single dose escalation phase. 9-24 patients with ARDS caused by infectious pneumonia across 3 dose cohorts.

Part 2 is a randomized phase and will enroll approximately 14 additional participants, randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the 2 doses based on efficacy data obtained from Part 1.

All participants in this study will receive Itolizumab intravenously for once, investigator discretion to continue with the same dose every 3 days up to 7 days.
