About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Septic Shock focused on measuring Phase I clinical trial, stem cell, mesenchymal stromal cell, mesenchymal stem cell
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
A participant must meet all 5 inclusion criteria to be eligible:
- Admission to the Ottawa Hospital Intensive Care Unit
- Receipt of appropriate broad spectrum antibiotics for the suspected/confirmed infectious source and adequate source control according to the opinion of the treating critical care physician

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells
This is a Phase 1 dose escalation clinical trial that constitutes 3 dose cohorts with 3 participants per cohort who will receive intravenous doses of allogeneic bone marrow derived allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells--0.3 million cells/kg, 1.0 million cells/kg, and 3.0 million cells/kg. We will proceed from the lower dose to the next higher dose if there are no safety concerns for each cohort.
