Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of purified (acellular) amniotic fluid as a treatment for SARS CoV-2 (COVID19)-associated respiratory failure. Past use of human amniotic products (i.e., membrane and fluid) is FDA-approved for tissue injury and has been used to reduce inflammation and fibrosis in patients with a variety of medical conditions. The investigators hypothesize that using nebulized and/or intravenous purified (acellular) amniotic fluid will reduce both inflammation in patients hospitalized for in SARS CoV-2 (COVID19)-associated respiratory failure, potentially leading to a decrease in respiratory support.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Ventilator Free Days [ Time Frame: Measured from hospital admission day 60 after admission. ]
    Days alive and off mechanical ventilation at day 60. Measured only among patients who receive invasive mechanical ventilation.

  2. Duration of supplemental oxygen use [ Time Frame: Measured from hospital admission to day 60. ]
    Duration from hospital admission until cessation of supplemental oxygen use. Measured only among patients who do not receive invasive mechanical ventilation.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. All cause mortality [ Time Frame: Measured at day 60 or at hospital discharge, whichever comes first. ]
    Survival at day 60 or hospital discharge

  2. Systemic inflammation [ Time Frame: Measured at day 5 post enrollment. ]
    Systemic inflammation at 5 days measured by serum IL-6.
