Interventions

Drugs Route Formulation
CAP-1002Primary Drug Intravenous Infusion

Biological: CAP-1002 Allogeneic Cardiosphere-Derived Cells (Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) from Cardiosphere-Derived Cells (CDCs))

Results

Therapeutic efficacy

Updated results from the from the compassionate care programme for CAP 1002 showed that of the seven patients hospitalized with severe COVID-2019 infection, six were on ventilator support. All patients were treated with CAP 1002. Four of the seven patients were fully discharged and three died between one- and two-months post-treatment. Earlier results from the compassionate care programme had demonstrated that of the five patients on ventilator support, four patients no longer required ventilator support within just one to four days following the infusion. The fifth patient remained on mechanical ventilation and the sixth patient received supplemental oxygen and clinically stable. Following infusion, several patients showed improvements in biomarkers, such as ferritin, absolute lymphocyte counts and CRP. Five male patients and one female patient (between ages 19 and 75) suffering from COVID-19 received IV infusions of 150 million allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells CAP 1002 [1] .

Adverse events

Results from the compassionate care program, reported no adverse events related to the administration of CAP 1002 [1] .

Pharmacokinetics

COVID-2019 infections
Results from the from the compassionate care programme for CAP 1002 showed that the treatment caused a decrease in the white blood cell count, IL-6 levels, C-reactive protein, and/or reduced reliance on supplemental oxygen. The patients had received IV infusions of 150 million allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells CAP 1002.
