Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluation of usage and safety of allogenic Mesenchymas cells of Wharton Jelly as a possible method of treatment of fibrotic interstitial lung disease especially diopathic pulmonry fibrosis and pulmonary fibrosis after COVID-19;Secondary Objective: Evaluation of: - changes in FVC - quality of life of patients - number of exacerbations during the annual total - survival during annual follow-up - pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the MSC preparation after administration;Primary end point(s): 1. Number and severity of adverse events in the treated group and the control / placebo group 2. Inhibition of the decline in FVC (reduction by less than 10% over the course of the study, reduction significantly less than in the placebo group) 3. Improving the quality of life 4. Annual survival ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Day of first administration of MSC / antifibrotics / placebo - day "0" 2. 14 days from first MSC administration / study start 3. Day of the second MSC administration / continuation of antifibrotic drugs / placebo - day "+30" 4. 14 days from second MSC administration / 44 days from start of study 5. Day of the third MSC administration / continuation of antifibrotic drugs / placebo is day "+60" 6. 14 days after last dose of MSC / 74 days from start of study 7. 90 ± 14 days after last dose of MSC / 90 ± 14 days from study start 8. 180 ± 14 days after last dose of MSC / 180 ± 14 days from study start 9. 360 ± 14 days after the last dose of MSC / 360 ± 14 days from the start of the study
