Article Synopsis
  • - The STROMA-CoV-2 study evaluated the effects of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) on patients with severe respiratory issues from SARS-CoV-2, finding no significant effectiveness despite good safety results after 28 days.
  • - An extended follow-up assessed the long-term safety and health outcomes of UC-MSC administration in the same patient cohort at 6 and 12 months post-hospital discharge, focusing on various health metrics.
  • - Results indicated a favorable safety profile with no significant differences between UC-MSC and placebo groups, although some patients experienced lingering lung issues and declines in quality of life over the year.

Treatment of COVID-19-associated ARDS with mesenchymal stromal cells: a multicenter randomized double-blind trial.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) causes high mortality. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) have potentially relevant immune-modulatory properties, whose place in ARDS treatment is not established. This phase 2b trial was undertaken to assess the efficacy of UC-MSCs in patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS.

Article Synopsis
  • Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) show potential as a cell-free therapy for lung injuries, particularly through nebulization of human adipose-derived MSC-EVs (haMSC-EVs).
  • In a preclinical study, nebulization improved survival rates in a murine lung injury model, reducing inflammation and histological damage.
  • Safety trials with 24 healthy volunteers indicated that haMSC-EVs were well-tolerated, with no serious adverse effects reported, supporting their future clinical use for lung injury treatments.
