About this study

Official title: Safeness and Effectiveness of Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Infusion Through Catheterization in Pediatric Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an autologous stem cell infusion through catheterism is safe and effective in the treatment of pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy.

Process:

Read more
  1. Primary Evaluation
  • Clinical History
  • Echocardiogram to evaluate ejection fraction and other parameters
  1. Signing of Informed Consent and clearing doubts
  2. Bone Marrow stimulation for 3 consecutive days with G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor) applied subcutaneously
  3. On the 4th day, in operation room and under sedation: Bone Marrow Harvest performed by hematologists through posterior iliac crests(amount calculated at 8cc/kg, without exceeding 150ml).
  4. Recovery room with family members while the cells are being processed in the Hematology Laboratory.
  5. Approximately 3 hours after the 1st procedure, the patient re-enters the operation room, which is equipped for cardiac catheterization, so that cardiologists infuse the stem cells through the femoral artery into the coronary arteries which irrigate the heart´s muscle fibers.
  6. Patient goes back to the recovery area until the anesthesia effect is gone and can tolerate oral liquids.
  7. Clinical and echocardiographic follow-ups at 6 weeks and 6 months after the procedure.
Read the detailed description
  • The Patient will receive standard surgical care, accompanied by a nurse at all times.
  • Premedication includes: Omeprazole (gastric protector), Ketorolac (anti-pain and swelling), ondansetron (antivomiting).

What participants receive

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

  • Intracoronary autologous stem cell infusionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Intracoronary CD34+ cell infusion

    Under sedation and under sterile conditions in a fluoroscopy operation room, cardiac catheterization will be performed through the femoral artery to infuse the stem cells directly into the heart´s coronary arteries.

Study groups in NCT01504594
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PatientsExperimentalChildren which meet eligibility criteria and after being assessed, are stimulated with G-CSF, undergo bone marrow extraction and then have them applied directly to the coronary arteries through cardiac catheterization.
Receives: Procedure: Intracoronary autologous stem cell infusion

What is being measured

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

  1. Safeness of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells infused through cardiac catheterization to coronary arteries.

    Patient will be assessed to prove that the procedure did not cause any deterioration of his/her health presented at the beginning of the study.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effectiveness of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells infused through cardiac catheterization to coronary arteries.

    Patient will be assessed to measure and record any possible changes in his/her clinical and echocardiographic studies that will reflect improvement.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Intracoronary autologous stem cell infusion in people with Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, run by Hospital Universitario Dr. Jose E. Gonzalez at 1 site in Mexico.

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 3 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2013. 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 Mexico. 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 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.

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?

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?

Safeness of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells infused through cardiac catheterization to coronary arteries. (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 Aug 2013.
