Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Safety of CAP-1002: Incidence of All-Cause Mortality

    Number of all-cause mortality cases from start of treatment up to end of study. Survival was measured as the time between the date of the start of treatment and the date of death.

    Up to End of Study (Day 90)

Study Arms (2)

CAP-1002

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The active pharmaceutical ingredient in CAP-1002 is Cardiosphere-Derived Cells (CDCs). CDCs are known to secrete numerous bioactive elements (growth factors, exosomes) which impact the therapeutic benefits of the cell-based therapy. The mechanism of action is the composite ability to be immunomodulatory, anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female subjects at least 18 years of age at time of consent.
  • Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay.
  • Compromised respiratory status as defined by arterial oxygen saturation \< 92% (oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry) OR cardiomyopathy due to COVID-19 (defined as a new drop in ejection fraction to ≤ 50% during COVID-19 with no evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease based on medical records review).
  • Elevation of at least 1 inflammatory marker (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, ferritin, CRP) defined as ≥ 2x upper limit of laboratory normal reference value.
  • Written informed consent provided by subject or legal representative.

You may not qualify if:

  • Currently receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV).
  • Patients who have been intubated.
  • Patients with established positive bacterial blood cultures prior to enrollment or suspicion of superimposed bacterial pneumonia.
  • Patients with untreated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • Creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/minute.
  • Liver function tests \> 5x normal.
  • Current or history (within the previous 5 years) of systemic autoimmune or connective tissue disease.
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the IP constituents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or bovine proteins.
  • Treatment with a cell therapy product within 12 months prior to randomization.
  • Participation in an ongoing protocol studying an experimental drug or device.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding female subjects, and sexually active female subjects of childbearing potential not willing to use contraceptive methods.
