A Study of GEn-1124 in Subjects with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Purpose
GEn1E-1124-002 is a two-part Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GEn-1124 in subjects with ARDS. Treatment with IV infusion dosing as early as possible after ARDS diagnosis. Subjects will be given a second dose approximately 8 hours after the first dose and will continue with twice daily dosing (BID regimen) for 5 days.

History of any type of solid organ or cellular transplant. 12. Receiving immunosuppressive therapy for solid organ or hematopoietic cancer, transplant anti-rejection medication, and/or other chronic conditions. 13. Moribund subject not expected to survive 24 hours. 14. Do not resuscitate (DNR) status. 15. World Health Organization (WHO) functional class III or IV pulmonary hypertension. 16.

Use of any investigational drug or device within last 30 days of dosing or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. 21. Any other medical, psychiatric, or social condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to unfavorably alter the risk-benefit of subject participation, to interfere with protocol compliance, or to confound safety.

- Masking Description
- All subjects, investigators, and study personnel involved in the conduct of the study, including data management, will be blinded to treatment assignment with the exception of some designated personnel. The unblinded study personnel will not participate in study procedures or data analysis prior to unblinding of the study data to all study-related personnel.

Detailed Description
Randomized , double-blind, placebo controlled, dose escalation study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and tolerability of GEn1124. GEn-1124 or placebo will be administered as a 2-hour IV infusion as early as possible after ARDS diagnosis. Participants will receive a second dose approximately 8 hours after the first and will continue BID for the remaining schedule (Days 2-5). Follow-up will be for a total of 60 days after the first dose or death (whichever comes first). An independent Safety Review Committee (SRC) will be responsible for reviewing data throughout the study.
