Brief 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.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pulmonary Fibrosis Interstitial Lung Disease Covid19 Biological: MON002 Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed 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.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Frequency of serious adverse events (SAE) related to the administration of the IMP [ Time Frame: Total number of SAEs at 12 months after administration ]
    Any SAEs that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalisation or prolonged or existing hospitalisation (that are not determined to be as a result of disease progression) or result in persistent or significant disability or incapacity


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Absolute change from baseline of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
  2. Rate of decrease in FVC [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
  3. Time to first occurrence of a ≥10% absolute decline in percentage of predicted FVC [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
  4. Time to decrease from baseline (relative change) of ≥ 10% in FVC (mL/year) [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
  5. Time from cell administration to first event of acute pulmonary fibrosis exacerbation [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
    Defined by (a) worsening or development of dyspnoea and radiologic evidence of new bilateral ground-glass abnormality or consolidation superimposed on a reticular or honeycomb background pattern

  6. Absolute change in transfer capacity of the lung (TLCO). [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
  7. Improvement in quality of life as indicated by the King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease (K-BILD) score [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
    Score is transformed to range from 0-100. 100=best health status

  8. Improvement in quality of life as indicated by the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) score [ Time Frame: 3, 6 and 12 months ]
    Score is transformed to range from 0-100. 100=best health status

  9. Reduction in fibrosis score on high resolution lung CT [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]
