About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intracoronary bone marrow transplantation can improve left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with severe ischemic heart failure and no other option for standard therapies (revascularization and drugs).

Read the detailed description

Despite standard therapies (revascularization and drugs), patients with severe ischemic heart failure have a high morbidity and mortality.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intracoronary transfer of autologous bone marrow cells can induce angiogenesis, subsequently improving regional myocardial perfusion, and finally resulting in improved systolic and diastolic left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic heart failure.

35 patients with stable left ventricle function will - with four months interval - receive two treatments with bone marrow transplantation intracoronary in vessels supplying dysfunctional myocardial territories. Echocardiography is performed three times prior (four and two months and just before) and two times after (four and eight months after) therapy. It is a non-randomised trial, patients will enter as their own control.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bone marrow transplantation in people with Myocardial Ischemia and Heart Failure, Congestive, run by Odense University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in left ventricular ejection fraction from baseline to 12 months' follow-up. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00235417, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2007.
