About this study

Official title: Transplantation Of Progenitor Cells And Recovery Of Left Ventricular Function In Patients With Nonischemic Dilatative Cardiomyopathy

Intracoronary infusion of bone marrow derived progenitor cells into the LAD in patients with non ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.

Read the detailed description

Initial clinical pilot trials suggested that intracoronary infusion of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells (BMC) may enhance left ventricular functional recovery in patients with acute myocardial infarction. It is unknown, however, whether such a strategy might also be applicable to patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Therefore, we initiated the TOPCARE-DCM - trial (Transplantation Of Progenitor Cells And Recovery of Left Ventricular Function in Patients with non ischemic Dilatative CardioMyopathy) aiming to regionally improve left ventricular contractility by selective infusion of BMC into the left anterior descending coronary artery.

Patients will be randomized 2:1 (20/10) BMC Infusion versus standard medical therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing intracoronary infusion of BMC in people with Heart Failure, Congestive and Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, run by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 15 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 18 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

LV function (Ejection fraction within 3 months) Simpson (time frame: 4 months). 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 NCT00284713, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 18 Feb 2009.
