37This is an open label phase II study of treatment with LEAF-4L6715 in patients who experience severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19, Sepsis or other Causes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the improvement in PaO2/FiO2 by more than 25% in patients treated with LEAF-4L6715.
Patient is treated with LEAF-4L6715, a liposomal transcrocetin. The liposomal formulation allows for a gradual release of the free drug, thereby facilitating less frequent dosing.
Pharmacokinetic assessment will be carried out to identify an optimal dose and schedule.
