About this study

Official title: Phase II, Randomised, Controlled Study of Treatment With Revascularisation Surgery With or Without Injection of Autologous Skeletal Myoblasts in Patients With Old Myocardial Infarction

The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of autologous skeletal myoblast injection in patients with old myocardial infarction and ventricular dysfunction versus conventional revascularisation therapy.

Read the detailed description

Ischaemic heart disease is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity. In particular, myocardial infarction (MI) is of special significance, as the heart muscle cannot regenerate so a region's necrosis leads to the formation of a fibrous scar. Depending on the area affected by the scar, infarction can lead to a progressive and irreversible decline in cardiac function, giving way to heart failure (HF) syndrome. The molecular basis of congestive heart failure is the absence of cardiac stem cells capable of regenerating cardiac muscle. In the skeletal muscle, there are cells located beneath the basal membrane with are capable of regenerating muscle fibres; they are known as myoblasts. There are several studies with autologous myoblasts, either by direct administration during surgery or percutaneously, which could distinguish between the effect of revascularisation surgery and that of the myoblast injection. The objective of this study is compare improvement in global and regional cardiac function in patients with old MI obtained by aortocoronary bypass surgery with intracardiac administration of autologous skeletal myoblasts versus standard aortocoronary bypass surgery treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary efficacy endpoints will be evaluate the ejection fraction and wall motion score index measured by M-mode and echocardiography 12 months after surgery.

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary efficacy endpoints are viability, perfusion and thickening and incidence of cardiac arrhythmias.

    Measured: 12 month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intra-lesion injection of autologous skeletal myoblasts and Revascularisation in people with Old Myocardial Infarction, run by Clinica Universidad de Navarra, Universidad de Navarra at 6 sites in Spain.

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 9 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The primary efficacy endpoints will be evaluate the ejection fraction and wall motion score index measured by M-mode and echocardiography 12 months after surgery. (time frame: 12 months after surgery). 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 8 Jun 2012.
