Allogeneic Stem Cells Implantation Combined With Coronary Bypass Grafting in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

May 3, 2019 updated by: Kyriakos Anastasiadis, AHEPA University Hospital

Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cell Implantation Combined With Bypass Grafting in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy.

The aim of the present study is to investigate safety and efficacy of intramyocardial implantation of a novel mesenchymal precursor cell type (iMP) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy at the time of coronary artery bypass grafting.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study aims to investigates in situ cardiac regeneration utilizing precision delivery of a novel mesenchymal precursor cell type (iMP) during coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (LVEF < 40 %). Preoperative scintigraphy imaging (SPECT) will be used to identify hibernating myocardium not suitable for conventional myocardial revascularization for iMP implantation. iMP cells will be implanted intramyocardially in predefined viable peri-infarct areas that show poor perfusion, which could not be grafted due to poor target vessel quality. Postoperatively, SPECT will be used to identify changes in scar area.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
iMP-related adverse events
Time Frame: 12 months
Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events including death, postoperative myocardial infarction, need for revascularization, stroke, hospitalization for worsening heart failure, myocardial rupture, infectious myocarditis, or sustained ventricular arrhythmias.
12 months
Hypersensitivity
Time Frame: 12 months
Hypersensitivity reaction (fever, urticaria, hemolytic anemia, hypotension, immune thrombocytopenia)
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
