Study Summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) administration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), ExoFlo, versus placebo for the treatment of hospitalized patients with moderate-to-severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

Primary Outcome

To evaluate the 60-day mortality rate for IMP 15mL as a treatment for moderate-to-severe ARDS compared to placebo. Reducing the mortality rate for hospitalized patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS is a measure of the treatment effect.
