Study Stopped
The decision to bring the Study to early clinical readout came in response to COVID-19's evolution as a disease, and the significant changes in the standard of care, leading to an increase in the severity of conditions of the intubated patients.
Open-label Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of PLX-PAD for the Treatment of COVID-19

Brief Summary
This clinical trial will examine if a new treatment of Mesenchymal-like Adherent stromal Cells (called PLX-PAD) can help patients intubated and mechanically ventilated due to COVID-19 to recover more quickly with less complications.
