This is a phase IIa, dose-ranging, proof-of-concept study of MRG-001 in patients with ARDS.
The aim is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of MRG-001 across two dose ranges.
Chest x-ray (CXR)* revealing bilateral infiltrates involving a minimum of three quadrants on frontal chest radiograph, consistent with pulmonary edema or bilateral ground glass opacities not fully explained by effusions, lobar or lung collapse, nodules, atelectasis or other etiology of infiltrates not due to ARDS.
PaO2/FiO2 < 300.
Requiring respiratory support [defined as mechanical ventilation, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or high flow nasal canula (HFNC)] If on ventilator, settings must include positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ≥5 cm H2O.
Age less than 18 years.
Infiltrates with etiology suspected of mimicking ARDS, ie; Pulmonary Edema due to Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). (A Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure (PAWP) of < 18 for >12 hours would rule out suspected CHF).
Pregnancy documented or suspected in women of child bearing potential, unless ruled out by a negative pregnancy test during screening or breast feeding.
Hypersensitivity to either of the components of MRG-001.
