Using a cutting-edge experimental therapy, doctors at a Bergen County hospital on Saturday injected cells from a placenta into a critically ill coronavirus patient, in the hope they will bolster his immune system and save his life.
It was believed to be the first time the procedure was performed in the United States to combat COVID-19, said Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck.
The cells, drawn from the human placenta, will hopefully aid the man’s immune response and could potentially also heal tissue damage to his lungs, said Drs. Ravit Barkama and Thomas Birch, who are clinical researchers at the hospital.
The otherwise relatively healthy 49-year-old man was hospitalized more than three weeks ago with shortness of breath and fever and has been on a ventilator in intensive care since March 20. His wife signed off on the emergency treatment, which was approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration on Friday, the doctors said.
