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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patient, 18 years of age or older, male or female.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40% (documented within 6 months of the TMR procedure.
  • Patient with medically refractory, stable, Class IV angina according to the Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina scale. Optimal medical therapy is defined as maximum tolerable and stable doses of beta-blockers, statins, anti-platelets and long acting nitrates without control of symptoms for at least 30 days.
  • Patient with at least a 15 cm² (or 15% of the surface area in the distal 2/3 of the left ventricle free wall to allow for a minimum of 15 TMR channels) documented region of the myocardium in the distal two-thirds of the left ventricle with reversible ischemia. Patients will be enrolled based on images used to determine eligibility for TMR within the previous 6 months. However, all patients will have baseline and follow-up MRIs taken per a standardized protocol and adjudicated by a core lab.
  • Has a documented left ventricular wall thickness of ≥8 mm.
  • Patient is not a candidate for treatment by direct coronary revascularization methods (i.e., CABG or PCI) as documented by an independent interventional cardiologist and an independent cardiothoracic surgeon on the Angiographic Screening Form.

  • Patient is able to perform the baseline exercise tolerance test (ETT).
  • Patient, if female, has no childbearing potential or has had a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days of the procedure.
  • Patient has a bone marrow aspirate total nucleated count of at least 15 x 106/mL at the time of harvest.
  • Patient has provided informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Cannot undergo a surgical procedure, thoracotomy or general anesthesia.
  • Has any mechanical or prosthetic heart valve.
  • Has a history of bone marrow disease (especially Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Myelodysplastic Syndrome) that prohibits autologous bone marrow derived cell transplantation.
  • Has severe, new onset or increasing angina. In addition, patients who cannot be weaned from intravenous anti-anginal medications for at least 48 hours preoperatively are to be excluded. Severe, new onset and increasing angina is defined as: Severe angina - angina occurring at rest and usually prolonged >20 minutes occurring within a week of presentation; new onset angina - angina of at least Canadian Cardiovascular Society Classification (CCSC) III severity with onset within 2 months of initial presentation; and increasing angina - previously diagnosed angina that is distinctly more frequent, longer in duration, or lower in threshold, (i.e., increased by at least one CCSC class within 2 months of initial presentation to at least CCSC III severity.
  • Has had a STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) or NSTEMI (Non-STEMI) within 4 weeks of the TMR procedure.
  • Has decompensated heart failure, or a diagnosis of NYHA Functional Class III/IV heart failure.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Has a hemorrhagic propensity that cannot be addressed with drug management.
  • Has severe or life-threatening arrhythmia (e.g., ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) within one week prior to the TMR procedure.
  • Is unable to undergo a cardiac MRI procedure.
  • Has uncontrolled diabetes with HbA1C > 10%.
  • Has anemia defined as hematocrit < 33% in women and <39% in men.
  • Has moderate to severe renal dysfunction defined as serum creatinine >1.8 mg/dL.
  • Has moderate to severe liver dysfunction defined as> ALT/AST >5X the upper limit of normal.
  • Is unable or unwilling to return for follow-up.
  • Is participating in another clinical investigation within the prior 30 days.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Single Arm Study of Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR) Plus Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrated (BMAC) Using the Cardiogenesis PHOENIX Combination Handpiece Delivery System

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of injecting autologous bone marrow concentrate with laser transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) for treatment of angina which cannot be treated by direct coronary intervention.

Read the detailed description

Recently published information suggests the delivery of concentrated autologous bone marrow, in combination with transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) may provide synergistic effects for the reduction of angina in patients who are not treatable with conventional coronary artery bypass or percutaneous coronary intervention. This safety and feasibility study is intended to confirm the work previously done at one hospital in a larger, multicenter setting. Patients who are candidates for TMR will be asked to participate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate in people with Angina, run by Cardiogenesis Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CryoLife, Inc. at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 10 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 19 Aug 2015. 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 Russia, 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. 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. 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?

Major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) (time frame: One Year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01285297, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Aug 2015.
