The purpose of this randomised, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase Ib/IIa study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of eASCs (Cx611) administered intravenously as adjunctive therapy, therefore in addition to standard of care (SoC) therapy, to patients with severe community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (sCABP).~The key objectives of this study are to:~Primary objective:~Investigate the safety profile of two allogeneic Cx611 80 mL infusions administered through a central line within 3 days (on days 1 and 3) at a dose of 160 million cells each (320 million cells total) and to monitor any adverse event and potential immunological host responses against the administered cells during 90 days of follow-up after the first infusion.~Secondary objective:~Explore the clinical efficacy of Cx611 in terms of a reduction of the duration of mechanical ventilation and/or need for vasopressors and/or improved survival, and/or clinical cure of the sCABP, and other efficacy-related endpoints.
