Timing for Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells After Acute Myocardial Infarction

April 23, 2015 updated by: Rchuang, The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University

Timing for Intracoronary Administration of Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells After Acute ST-elevated Myocardial Infarction: a Pilot Study

Most studies on intracoronary bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMC) transplantation for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) involve treatment 3-7 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, the optimal timing is unknown. The present study assessed the therapeutic effect at different times after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

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

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

On the basis of experimental studies that bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMCs) transfer in the injured tissue can promote regional myocardial perfusion and improved cardiac function, several clinical trials have shown that intracoronary bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMC) transplantation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients several days after myocardial reperfusion is safe and may enhance the improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The timing of BMC administration, baseline LVEF, dosage of BMC and other factors has been linked to improvement in LVEF after BMC transplantation. In our previous work, we gave BMCs within 24 hours after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and found that it was safe and effective . In addition, there are another report about longer time from symptom onset to BMC infusion (2-4 weeks), which also appeared effective . The timing of intracoronary stem cell administration may have a critical effect on cell engraftment and may be responsible for the various biological and functional responses to therapy. However, few studies have directly addressed the optimal timing of cell injections. Therefore, in this prospective randomized study, BMCs were given at different times (within 24 hours, 3 to 7 days, or 7 to 30 days after reperfusion) to investigate whether the timing of therapy affects the therapeutic response of AMI patients.

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.

  • Phase 3

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

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: BMC therapy within 24 hours
Patients with acute myocardial infarction who receive intracoronary infusion of BMC within 24 hours after successful primary PCI.
Other: BMC therapy within 24 hours
The BMCs were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation on Lymphocyte Separation Medium. BMCs were infused into IRA at the site of the previous occlusion. This was accomplished with the use of a microtubular. After positioning of the microtubular into the distal segment vessel of the stent position in the infarct-related artery, 15 milliliter of the whole cell suspension was slowly administered via microtubular. The usual time should be over 10min to prevent back-flow and to prolong cellular contact time for cellular migration into the tissue. Patients in BMC therapy group within 24 hours remained in the cath-lab until the entire procedure, including primary PCI and intracoronary BMC infusion, was completed.
Experimental: BMC therapy within 3-7 days
Patients with acute myocardial infarction who receive intracoronary infusion of BMC within 3-7days after successful primary PCI.
Other: BMC therapy within 3-7 days
Patients in this group, who underwent a second procedure, to receive BMC transplantation in the cath-lab during the same hospitalization or returned for a second hospitalization.
Experimental: BMC therapy within 7-30 days
Patients with acute myocardial infarction who receive intracoronary infusion of BMC within 7-30days after successful primary PCI.
Other: BMC therapy within 7-30 days
Patients in this group, who underwent a second procedure, to receive BMC transplantation in the cath-lab during the same hospitalization or returned for a second hospitalization.
Active Comparator: PCI only
Patients with acute myocardial infarction who were performed successful primary PCI.
Other: PCI only
The saline was intracoronary infusion with the use of microtubular.

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.

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.
