Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: CLBS14: Low-Dose Group

10 intramyocardial injections of 0.2 mL each of auto-CD34+ cells at a dose of 1 x 10^5 (=100000) cells/kg bodyweight

Biological: CLBS14 (low-dose)
Eligible subjects will receive subcutaneous injections of 5 µg/kg/day G-CSF for 5 days to mobilize CD34+ cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) will be collected via apheresis on day 5. On the day of the cell/placebo injection (day 6), the apheresis product will be enriched for CD34+ cells using the Isolex 300i Magnetic Cell Selection System (Baxter Healthcare). Autologous CD34+ cells will be delivered in 10 intramyocardial injections of 0.2 mL at a dose of 1 x 10^5 (=100000) cells/kg bodyweight each using the MyoStar injection catheter (Biosense Webster, Inc.) into the target areas of myocardial ischemia.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Angina Episodes Per Week at 6 and 12 Months [6 and 12 months]

      The number of angina episodes were collected via an electronic subject diary for four weeks at Baseline and at 6 and 12 months. The four-week angina episodes (per week mean) were used as the frequency for each visit. A lower number represents fewer angina episodes. A lower number is better.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Exercise Treadmill Test According to Modified Bruce Protocol: Mean Change From Baseline in Duration of Exercise [Change from Baseline to 6 months and change from baseline to 12 months after treatment]

      A modified Bruce Protocol Exercise Treadmill Test was used to evaluate duration of exercise in all subjects.

    2. Number of Participants With Change in Canadian Cardiovascular Society Anginal Classification Levels [Baseline and 12 months after treatment]

      The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Functional Classification of Angina is as follows: Class I - Angina only during strenuous or prolonged physical activity Class II - Slight limitation, with angina only during vigorous physical activity Class III - Symptoms with everyday living activities, i.e., moderate limitation Class IV - Inability to perform any activity without angina or angina at rest, i.e., severe limitation

    3. Changes From Baseline in Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) Scores at 6 Months [Baseline to 6 months after treatment]

      Angina symptoms were evaluated based on the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), which was used to analyze the following: physical limitations, angina stability, angina frequency, treatment satisfaction, and disease perception. The SAQ consisted of 11 questions with 5 or 6 possible responses. Responses were ordinal values (1-7, 10, 11, 97, depending on the type of question; no uniform ranges throughout); responses that corresponded to the lowest level of functioning (worse outcomes) were assigned values of 1, while responses that corresponded to higher functioning levels (better outcome) were assigned a higher ordinal value. If the response to any of these questions was 97 it was recoded as a missing value. Each scale can have a scored value ranging from 0 to 100. A larger number is better.

    4. Changes From Baseline to 6 Months in Short Form 36 (SF-36) Parameters [Baseline to 6 months after treatment]

      The Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey form was used to analyze physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, bodily pain, general health perceptions, vitality, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, general mental health, and health transition. Responses were coded as ordinal numbers going from worst (=1) to best (=highest number). These ordinal scores were transformed into scales ranging from 0 to 100. Higher numbers are generally considered better.

    5. Change in Anti-anginal Medication (ie, Nitroglycerin) Use [Baseline to 6 months]

      The mean nitroglycerin use per week was analyzed at baseline and 6 months

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Enrollment was conducted at 26 clinical sites in the US.
    Pre-assignment Detail Of 321 enrolled subjects, 147 were screen failures. Of 174 subjects who started cell mobilization, 1 did not complete the mobilization due to possible left ventricular mural thrombosis. Of 173 subjects who completed mobilization, 168 were randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups, of which 1 was discontinued prior to treatment due to coagulopathy.
