About this study

Official title: Effects of Intramuscular Injection of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell on the Ventricular Function of Children With Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

The main aim of the study is to determine whether intramuscular injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can improve the ventricular function of children with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy(IDCM); Secondary end-points will be: 1)To explore the possible mechanism of the improvement of ventricular function in children with IDCM and 2) to evaluate the safety of intramuscular injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell.

Read the detailed description

Children with Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy class II to III NYHA with ejection fraction over 20% were selected for phase II clinical trial, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were injected into limb muscle and followed for 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in people with Dilated Cardiomyopathy, run by Qingdao University at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2010. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jianxia Hu, MD (86-0532-82911676, qdyxyhjx@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

echocardiography (time frame: 3 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 28 Oct 2010.
