Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind safety and efficacy clinical trial.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
To assess the safety and efficacy of Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRCs) delivered via an intramyocardial route in the treatment of chronic ischemic heart disease in patients who are not eligible for percutaneous or surgical revascularization.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: ADRCs Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRCs) processed by the Celution System: 0.8 x 10^6 cells/kg body weight (not to exceed 80.0 x 10^6 cells) Delivered via the MYOSTAR™ Injection Catheter in 15 intramyocardial injections |
Device: Celution System
ADRCs processed by the Celution System for reintroduction into the myocardium
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Placebo - Physiological Solution Inactive substance (Lactated Ringers + autologous blood) Delivered via the MYOSTAR™ Injection Catheter in 15 intramyocardial injections |
Device: Placebo
Physiological solution made of Lactated Ringers solution and a small amount (<1mL) of autologous blood
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Primary Efficacy - Change in Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire [6 months post treatment]
Change in Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire prior to treatment and at 6 months post treatment.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Secondary Efficacy - Change in mVO2 [6 months post treatment]
Change in mVO2 at 6 months as assessed by Exercise Tolerance Test
- Secondary Efficacy - Change in LVESV/LVEDV [6 months post treatment]
Change in LVESV/LVEDV at 6 months as assessed by Echocardiography
- Secondary Efficacy - Change in Ejection Fraction [6 months post treatment]
Change in Ejection Fraction (%) at 6 months assessed by 2D Contrast Echocardiography
- Secondary Efficacy - Change in perfusion defect [6 months post treatment]
Change in perfusion defect at 6 months assessed by Rest/Pharmacologic Stress SPECT
- Secondary Efficacy - Resource Utilization [through 12 months post treatment]
Resource utilization - hospital length of stay, re-hospitalization for cardiac related events
- Secondary Efficacy - Change in heart failure symptoms, angina, and quality of life [through 12 months post treatment]
Change in heart failure symptoms, angina, and quality of life assessed by - NYHA classification, CCS classification, MLHFQ (other than 6 months)
Other Outcome Measures
- Safety - Number of Patients Experiencing Treatment Emergent SAEs [Treatment through 12 months]
- Safety - Number of Patients Experiencing Arrhythmias Assessed via Holter monitor [Screening through 3 months post treatment]
- Safety - Number of patients that experience a MACE [Treatment through 12 months]
Number of patients that experience a Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE)
