Experimental 'Storm Stopper' therapy tested for COVID-19, flu, and RSV

NCT ID NCT06684379

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called PRS CK STORM, made from a mix of immune and fat cells, to see if it can safely calm the 'cytokine storm'—a dangerous overreaction of the immune system—in people with severe lung infections from COVID-19, flu, or RSV. The study will enroll 50 adults who need oxygen therapy and compare two doses of the drug against a placebo. The main goals are to check safety and to see if the drug reduces inflammation and improves breathing.

Active substance
PRS CK STORM (a liquid made from immune and fat cells)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new way to calm the dangerous overreaction of the immune system (cytokine storm) in severe respiratory infections.
What could go wrong
This is a very early (Phase 1/2) pilot study with only 50 people. It is primarily testing safety, so effectiveness is not yet proven. The treatment is experimental and may not work or could have side effects.
