About this study

Official title: Intracoronary Infusion of Concentrated Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Utilizing a Novel Point-of-Care Device for Rapid-Delivery of Stem Cells (AMIRST)

The primary objective of the study is to determine the feasibility and safety of intracoronary administration of autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cell product in patients at risk for clinically significant cardiac dysfunction following AMI.

The secondary objective of the study is to assess the effect on cardiac function and infarct region perfusion. A concurrent placebo control patient group meeting eligibility but not receiving autologous bone marrow derived stem cells will be evaluated similar to the treated group to assess the rate of significant spontaneous improvement in cardiac function.

Read the detailed description

Emerging evidence indicate that progenitor stem cells derived from bone marrow can be used to improve cardiac function in acute myocardial infarction patients. There is a great potential for stem cell therapy, using a variety of cell precursors to contribute to new blood vessel formation and muscle preservation in the myocardial infarct zone. The administration of cells via an infusion through the infarct related artery appears to be feasible and result in a clinical effect in some studies. Across the globe AMI is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This cannot be prevented by optimal standard therapies i.e. balloon or stent dilation of the infarct vessels.

The study is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, multicenter trial. Male or female patients between 18-75 years with first incidence of Acute Myocardial Infarction(AMI) and LVEF less than or equal to 40% are included in the study. Patients who have undergone successful percutaneous intervention (PCI) within ≤ 24 hours after onset of symptoms (PTCA/stent) or / and Thrombolysed patients having TIMI-3 flow are eligible to take part in the study.

A total of 30 subjects will be recruited and randomly assigned to receive concentrated BMMNC or placebo. All patients will undergo bone marrow aspiration within 3-10 days from the index event(infarction). Bone Marrow(BM) will be processed utilizing point of care technology. Following cell processing, the concentrated BMMNC or placebo control is infused directly into the infarct related artery using the stop flow method. Clinical follow up for all the subjects at 1,30, 60, 90, 180 and 360 days will be performed from the day of the procedure, with primary and secondary end points evaluated for both study arms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of adverse events as a measure of safety

    Feasibility and safety of Intracoronary infusion of autologous BMMNCs processed through intraoperative point of care technology, freedom from arrhythmia's.

    Measured: 12 Months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Changes in the global Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction(LVEF), LV volumes-End Systolic Volume (ESV) and End Diastolic Volume (EDV), infarct size, myocardial mass, myocardial viability and regional wall motion abnormalities.

    Changes in the global Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction(LVEF), LV volumes-End Systolic Volume (ESV) and End Diastolic Volume (EDV), infarct size, myocardial mass, myocardial viability and regional wall motion abnormalities measured by Cardiac MRI and assessed by central Core lab.

    Measured: 12 Months

  2. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE)

    MACE was defined as the composites of any cause of death, myocardial infarction, revascularization of the target vessel, re-hospitalization for heart failure, and life-threatening arrhythmia.

    Measured: 12 Months

  3. Quality of life

    Quality of life assessment is done using short-form 36, Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire and Seattle Angina Questionnaire

    Measured: 12 Months

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 6 inclusion and 17 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 4 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Kenneth Harris, MS (13234207766, ken.harris@totipotentrx.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of adverse events as a measure of safety (time frame: 12 Months). 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 NCT01536106, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 4 Sep 2013.
