What participants receive

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

  • intramyocardial bone marrow stem cells implantationProcedure or surgery

    Control group: the patients will be monitored with regular medical visits. Echocardiography: baseline,3,6,9 months. Cardiac NMR at baseline, 3 and 9 months.

    Interventional group: Bone-marrow was collected from in the anterior-superior iliac crest and mononuclear stem cells were isolated by centrifugation in the density rate Ficoll-Hypaque 1.077 media. Technique - The approach was through a left mini-thoracotomy. Twenty small injections of cellular suspension were directly made through a 21F butterfly needle(total=5ml), in the anterior, lateral, posterior and apical faces of the LV ((average 9.6±2.6 x 10[7] cells). After the procedure, the patients were kept in the p.o. for a minimum period of 24hrs. They were released from the hospital in a period that varied from 5-7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing intramyocardial bone marrow stem cells implantation in people with Dilated Cardiomyopathy, run by Instituto de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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 29 Aug 2008. 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 Brazil. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Increase of the ejection function of the left ventricle (time frame: twelve months). 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 29 Aug 2008.
