About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study of Autologous Concentrated Bone Marrow Nucleated Cell Therapy for Congestive Heart Failure Patients Undergoing Treatment With Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting(CABG) Surgery

Patients undergoing CABG will have 60 mL of bone marrow drawn, concentrated in a SmartPRep2 centrifuge and have the concentrated nucleated cells injected into areas of ischemic myocardium

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing CABG will have 60 mL of bone marrow drawn, concentrated in a SmartPRep2 centrifuge and have the concentrated nucleated cells injected into areas of ischemic myocardium. Control subjects will undergo CABG only

Being tested
BMAC, CABG only
Medical subject headings
Heart Failure

What participants receive

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

  • BMACBiological

    Injection of BMAC into ischemic myocardium during CABG

  • CABG onlyProcedure or surgery

    Control subjects will undergo CABG surgery without BMAC injection

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Cardiac Status (Classification)

    A change in cardiac status as determined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) or Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) classification evaluation

    Measured: Through 12 months post treatment

  2. Safety

    as measured by frequency and severity of adverse events

    Measured: through 1 Year post tx

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BMAC and CABG only in people with Congestive Heart Failure, run by Harvest Technologies at 2 sites 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 9 inclusion and 20 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 18 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jan 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Cardiac Status (Classification) (time frame: Through 12 months post treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jan 2016.
