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.

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

  4. Evidence of inducible myocardial ischemia on baseline stress testing
  5. Obstructive coronary disease unsuitable for conventional revascularization
  6. Experience angina episodes at a minimum of 7 angina episodes per week (during a 4-week screening period).

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Quadruple

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.
Active Comparator: CardiAMP cell therapy system

Roll-in phase:

Up to 10 subjects with refractory chronic myocardial ischemia CCS class III-IV will be treated in an unblinded, uncontrolled roll-in phase.

In the subsequent randomized phase:

Up to 333 subjects with refractory chronic myocardial ischemia CCS class III-IV will be randomized. Up to 222 Subjects will be randomized to treatment with the CardiAMP cell therapy system.
Device: CardiAMP Cell Therapy System
The CardiAMP Cell Therapy system consists of the CardiAMP Potency Assay, the Helix/Morph intramyocardial delivery catheter system, and the CardiAMP Cell Separator. The system allows the investigator to identify patients with a high chance to respond to im autologous stem cell therapy (using the CardiAMP Cell Potency Assay), to isolate the stem cells from a bone marrow harvest at the point of care (using the CardiAMP CS system), and to percutaneously inject the autologous cells into the myocardium using the Helix/Morph delivery catheters.
Sham Comparator: Sham procedure control

Randomized phase:

Up to 333 subjects with refractory chronic myocardial ischemia CCS class III-IV will be randomized. Up to 111 subjects will be treated with a Sham Treatment (no introduction of trans endocardial delivery catheter and no administration of autologous cells)
Other: Sham Treatment
Patients will receive sham bone marrow procedure and a ventriculogram. A scripted sham percutaneous procedure will be performed

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.

Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months visit
A superiority analysis with regards to change from Baseline in Total Exercise Time at the 6 months follow-up visit (using a Modified Bruce Protocol).
