Covid19 | Biological: MSC Drug: Control | Phase 1 |
Within the epidemic context of phase 3 that currently exists in Mexico, implementation of new treatments that have shown to be beneficial for patients in a critical state in other countries is an urgent need. Adipose tissue derived-mesenchymal stem cells for could favor the regulation of patient immune system to reduce the proinflammatory state and promoting the regeneration of damaged tissues.
Patients diagnosed COVID-19 and confirmed positive with the virus by PCR, will be treated with two intravenous infusions MSCs on the day 1 (D1) and the day 3 (D3) of the treatment consisting of 1X106/kg each.
We will assess the pulmonary lesion area by chest x-ray or computed axial tomography at baseline and days 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
Days to clinical improvement (to be evaluated on days 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25), considering temperature and other vital signs measurement, arterial oxygen saturation, blood chemistry (including liver function tests), creatine phosphokinase, C reactive protein, immune cells (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD16+, CD19+, and CD56+ lymphocytes), pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL- 2, TNF-α, ITN-γ, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10), immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM, and IgE), HLA profile expression, and weaning from mechanical ventilation.
