Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • chronic left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction <35 %) in chronic ischemic heart disease and asynchronic contraction with indication for a biventricular stimulation (CRT, chronic resynchronization therapy), who do not have an improvement of >15% of LVEF 3 months after CRT-device implantation
  • wall motion dysfunction of any territory
  • left bundle branch block
  • Patients were on individual optimal treatment for chronic ischemic heart disease with one or a combination of the following drug types: diuretics, ß-blockers, ACE-inhibitors, AT1 blockers and/or lipid lowering agents for at least 30 days before CRT Implantation

Who cannot join

  • patients with left ventricular dysfunction due to other reasons than ischemic cardiomyopathy, e.g. hypertension, dilatative cardiomyopathy
  • with relevant valvular disease;
  • Aneurysma of the anterior myocardial wall or myocardial wall thickness of < 5 mm,
  • with overt heart failure, other than ischemic cardiomyopathy,
  • with history of stroke and/or transient ischemic attack (TIA),
  • with history of thromboembolic event (e.g. phlebothrombosis, pulmonary embolism), bleeding disorders and known disease of the coagulation system;

  • with extensive deviations of baseline laboratory values and significant findings at physical examination which in the opinion of the investigator may worsen under treatment;
  • with severe systemic disease - (e.g. known or suspected anaphylaxia, intolerance against X-ray or contrast agent and, pre-malignant and malignant disease)
  • atrial fibrillation with average heart rate >70 bpm
  • pregnant women and women of childbearing potential who have not had a negative pregnancy test within 48 hours before treatment;
  • with any disease or condition that seriously compromises the function of other body systems than the heart and/or might interfere with conduct of the study and interpretation of the results;
  • patients with a chronic or acute HIV-, HBV-, HCV-infection;
  • improvement of more than 15% of LVEF 3 months after CRT-device implantation
  • patients who have a ICD Implantation for secondary prophylactic indication. These patients show a history of resuscitation, VT or syncope.
  • patients who are currently participating in another investigational drug or device study

About this study

Official title: Protocol on an Evaluative Study on Bone Marrow Derived Mononuclear Cells for Optimization of Biventricular Pacing in Patients With Chronic Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction

This is an evaluative, monocentric study in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and left bundle branch block who received an ICD-CRT. It is an early investigation on the safety and effects of a single administration of bone marrow derived mononuclear cells after implantation of an ICD-CRT device as an adjunct to CRT and usual drug treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intramyocardial Cell therapy in people with Heart Disease, run by Kai Jaquet, PhD, DSc at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2018. 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 Germany. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: funding issues). 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?

LVEF Value (time frame: 12 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 9 Apr 2018.
