Safety and Efficacy of MSC-EVs in the Prevention of BPD in Extremely Preterm Infants
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Endotracheopulmonary Instillation, Suspension: The endotracheal administration can be either by endotracheal tube instillation using a 5 French end-hole catheter or by endotracheal tube instillation using the secondary lumen of a dual lumen endotracheal tube. The dose is adjusted to body weight and the endotracheal administration will be performed in an already intubated newborn infant.
Study summary
The phase 1/2 trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EXOB-001 consisting of extracellular vesicles derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells in the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in extremely premature neonates. The study population includes babies born between 23 and 28 (27 + 6 days) weeks of gestational age and body weight between 500g and 1,500 g. Thirty-six subjects will receive one or three administrations of the three doses of EXOB-001 via the endotracheal route in phase 1. In phase 2, two dosages based on the results of phase 1 will be selected and a total of 203 subjects will be randomised to receive either EXOB-001 or placebo (saline solution).
Infants will be followed up to 2 years of corrected age (end of study).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (phase 1) — From EXOB-001 administration up to 36 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA)
The proportion of subjects exhibiting acute and short-term safety of the intratracheal administration of EXOB-001 (single dose or multiple doses at different dose levels). - Number of subjects with BPD grade II-III incidence rate per groups (phase 2). — 36 weeks PMA
BPD grade II-III incidence rate per group assessed at 36 weeks PMA. The severity of BPD is assessed according to the modified NICHD severity grading (Grade I to IIIA) definition.
