The MEseNchymal coviD-19 Trial: MSCs in Adults With Respiratory Failure Due to COVID-19 or Another Underlying Cause

This is a pilot, multi-centre, open-label randomised controlled study to assess the early efficacy of intravenous (IV) administration of CYP-001 in adults admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with respiratory failure

After enrolment upon meeting eligibility criteria (D0), participants baseline data will be collected and participants will be randomised to receive either standard of care treatment only, or standard of care plus CYP-001. On D1 and D3, each participant randomised to receive CYP-001 will receive an IV infusion of 2 million Cymerus mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)/kg of body weight (up to a maximum of 200 million cells). Participants will have further data collection throughout their ICU and hospital stay and follow up to 28 days.
