Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate efficacy of WJ-MSCs, compared to a placebo, on respiratory function in patients with SARS-CoV-2 related moderate to severe ARDS.;Secondary Objective: 1) To assess the effect of WJ-MSC, compared to placebo, in patients with SARS-CoV-2 related moderate to severe ARDS, on duration of invasive mechanical ventilation during the hospital stay and maximum for 28 days 2) To assess the effect of WJ-MSC, compared to placebo, in patients with SARS-CoV-2 related moderate to severe ARDS, on the evolution of organ failures during the hospital stay and maximum for 28 days 3) o assess the effect of WJ-MSC, compared to placebo, in patients with SARS-CoV-2 related moderate to severe ARDS, on the duration of stay in intensive care unit, and the mortality during intensive care unit, during hospitalization, on D28 and D90.;Primary end point(s): The respiratory function is evaluated by the PaO2 / FiO2 ratio every day between D0 or D1 (before initiation of treatment with WJ-MSC or placebo) and D14.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: D14

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1) The effect of WJ-MSC on respiratory assistance is evaluated by the proportion of days without invasive respiratory assistance during the hospital stay and maximum on D28 (number of days without invasive respiratory assistance / number of hospital days until D28) 2) The evolution of organ failures is measured by the difference in SOFA score between D5-D0 or D1 (depending on the day of initiation of treatment) and D14-D0 or D1, and by the proportion of days without extra-renal treatment and without vasopressor support during the hospital stay and maximum until D28 (number of days without extra-renal treatment / number of days of hospitalization until D28) 3) The duration of stay in intensive care unit and cause of death during the hospital stay, on D28 and D90 4) - Le taux d’Ac anti-HLA mesuré à J0 avant traitement, à J21 et à J90 - La survenue de réactions d’hypersensibilité immédiates (Frissons, hyperthermie associés à une hypotension) dans les 4 à 6 heures suivant l’injection des CSM-GW ou du placebo. - Les risques thrombo-emboliques surveillés cliniquement et biologiquement par la surveillance quotidienne en routine du taux de plaquettes et de l’hémostase (TP, TCA, Fibrinogène, D-dimères), et par la réalisation d’échographies cardiaques transthoraciques quotidiennes durant le séjour en réanimation. - Les risques infectieux, surveillés cliniquement et par la réalisation en routine d’hémocultures si fièvre >38.5°C. - La détection de réaction s’apparentant à une incompatibilité transfusionnelle effectuée par une surveillance attentive pendant la perfusion (notamment de la survenue de réaction cutanée, urticaire ou bronchospasme) avec une prise en charge adaptée immédiate.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1) maximum until D28 2) D5, D14 and maximum D28 3) D28 and D90 4) during infusion and during hospitalization stay and maximum at D28
