About this study

Official title: Phase I Study to See if a of A Combination Stem Cell Therapy is Safe and Feasible for the Treatment of Severe Coronary Ischemia

The purpose of this research study is to determine if the infusion of a combination of stem cells obtained from the bone marrow of the same patient will contribute to the formation of new blood vessels in patients with symptomatic severe coronary ischemia. In this trial we will study the safe use of this therapy and its effects on making new blood vessels will be evaluated.

Coronary ischemia is intractable angina due to severe coronary artery disease which can seriously decrease blood flow to the heart.

CI needs a comprehensive treatment since the condition will not improve on its own. The overall goal of the treatment is to increase blood flow to the heart and improve symptoms of angina.

The study hypothesis is based on the concept that the process of formation of new blood vessels is complex and requires the participation of several types of stem cells and growth factors. The lack of any of these components will produce vessels which are immature and unable to provide appropriate blood supply to the heart.

Patients eligible to participate in this study are those suffering from severe blockages to the vessels of the heart and are not candidates for percutaneous revascularization or surgical procedures.

Once the final mixture of stem cells is prepared, the cells will be intracoronary infused through a catheter into the blocked vessel of the heart.

Studies will be performed to evaluate if the intracoronary infusion of stem cells is safe, feasible and works.

Patients will be evaluated for 6 months after cell transplant.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MESENDOBiological

    2 ml of the "final cell mixture" will be injected through the lumen of an intracoronary percutaneous balloon designed for angioplasty into the ishcemic vessel.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety as measured by laboratory assessments, ecg, temperature and holter monitor

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy as measured by SPECT scan and 2-D Echo

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MESENDO in people with Coronary Ischemia and Coronary Disease, run by TCA Cellular Therapy at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 28 Apr 2011. 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 United States. 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 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.

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?

Safety as measured by laboratory assessments, ecg, temperature and holter monitor (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Apr 2011.
