ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment using mesenchymal stem cells for patients with lung injuries caused by viral infections, such as pneumonia from COVID-19 or the flu. The main goal is to see how safe and effective this treatment is for improving lung health in people who are in advanced stages of these infections. If you or someone you know is at least 18 years old, has been diagnosed with viral pneumonia, and is experiencing significant breathing difficulties, this study might be an option.

To participate, individuals must be able to understand and sign consent forms and should not be enrolled in other studies or receiving certain types of immune treatments during the trial. Participants will receive either the stem cell treatment or a placebo (a substance with no therapeutic effect) without knowing which one they are getting, to ensure the study's fairness. Throughout the trial, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and to gather information on how well the treatment works. This research could potentially lead to new ways to help people recover from serious lung injuries caused by infections.
