Study summary

Safety and efficacy of ADR-001 are evaluated in Patients with Severe Pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Read the detailed description

Patients with Severe Pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection are enrolled to the study. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) are administered once a week, total four times intravenously. Safety and efficacy of AD-MSCs are evaluated for 12 weeks after first administer.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Aug 2020 to primary completion in Feb 2021, 5 months.

Of 18 phase 1 interventional studies under Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 15. This study's 5 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 9, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
