Summary

Up to a third of patients who recovered from SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) had a 20% decline in lung function with a long term reduction in exercise capacity and SF-36 health status a year after infection. Similar outcomes are now being reported in COVID-19 patients, with interstitial lung disease (fibrosis) and long term lung function decline being a common feature. Anti-fibrotic monocytes/macrophages are important for the clearance of partially degraded collagen fragments of fibrotic extracellular matrix, in particular fibrillary-type collagen.

MON002 is an autologous monocyte product, cultured in vitro prior to intravenous delivery into patients with post-COVID-19 lung fibrosis.

Description

The MONACO Cell Therapy Study is a prospective, non-randomised, open label study phase I/II clinical trial with a key objective of evaluating safety of MON002 in 5 adults who have a clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis) after recovery from acute COVID-19 infection. The main objectives of this study are to: (1) to determine the safety profile of MON002 by assessing clinical responses in adults with post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis and (2) to assess its impact on reducing disease morbidity/severity in this population.
