Fantastic news about the patients in New York,

"Nine coronavirus patients at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York have received the Mesoblast treatment on an emergency basis, and doctors there said the initial response was promising. Six patients were removed from ventilation and others were being weaned off or had remained stable — a welcome development when most patients who need ventilator support do not survive."

A lot more to come, MSB is in an unprecedented position given the Covid-19 Pandemic and MSB has already demonstrated it's patent protected (over 1000 patents) MSC's proven effective in improving lung function in similar ARDS conditions with previous documented trials.

This process is a formality IMO, as SI said,

Although many drugs are being tried outside of a formal study, he said, “We do think this is the right way, and a randomized, controlled trial is the only way you are going to know whether an approach works.”

SI, knows IMO, that once initial efficacy is demonstrated the FDA will approve for wider use, however, he also understands the need to tie a big red bow around the results in the form of formal trial and report, to ensure other Governments and organisations understand the science and results therefore validating our successful treatment of final stage ARDS due to Corona Virus so that alternate world strategies other than full lock-downs and significant economic impacts can be relieved.
