Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy for COVID-19-induced ARDS patients: a successful phase 1, control-placebo group, clinical trial

Abstract: Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the devastating complication of the new COVID-19 pandemic, directly correlated with releasing large amounts of inflammatory cytokines. Due to their immunoregulatory features, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) provide a promising approach against this disease. In this regard, this study was designed as a single-center, open-label, phase 1 clinical trial with a control group to examine the safety and explore the possible potency of three inj… Show more

“…Six included studies reported the effect of MSC on oxygenation. Though three included studies implied that MSC may increase PaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio [ 16 , 37 , 39 ], the other three studies suggested that MSC did not have much impact on PaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio at any timepoints [ 17 , 19 , 34 ]. On ventilation-free days to 28 days in ARDS, five studies didn’t detect any significant difference between MSC and controls [ 16 , 17 , 19 , 34 , 38 ].…”

“…In terms of ICU-free days, although five studies discovered no significant difference between the two groups [ 16 , 19 , 34 , 38 , 40 ], one study revealed that MSC may reduce ICU-free days in ARDS [ 17 ]. Meanwhile, the effects of MSC on serum IL-6 in ARDS were also controversial, as while three studies suggested no significant difference detected [ 16 , 17 , 40 ], four others implied that MSC may downregulate serum IL-6 [ 18 , 19 , 35 , 39 ]. Additionally, three included studies reported no significant impact of MSC on serum IL-8 in ARDS [ 16 , 17 , 35 ].…”

“…Among all the included studies, eight of them were multicenter studies, [26][27][28][30][31][32]43,45 10 studies were double-blind RCTs with placebo, 23,24,[28][29][30][31][43][44][45][46] one study was single-blind RCT with placebo 26 and four studies were designed as open-label trials. 22,25,27,32 The inclusion criteria were different from each other, six studies included patients with critical COVID-19, 23,28,31,32,43,47 seven studies included severe patients, 22,24,25,29,30,42,46 only one study included not severe patients, 44 and the remaining studies had no limitations on the patient's severity of disease. 26,27,45 Except for 58.8% of studies used human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs), 22,23,25,26,[28][29]...…”

“… 25 , 66 In these 2 years, MSCs have been administered intravenously for the treatment of patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS, with excellent results in terms of clinical tolerance and benefits on the prognosis. 83 , 84 For the treatment of ventilator-associated lung injury, MSCs also have certain therapeutic effects. These results are mainly focused on bronchopulmonary dysplasia that develops in premature newborns in clinical trials.…”
