About this study

Official title: Autologous Grafting of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Severe Refractory Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intracoronary injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to repair heart function in patients with myocardial ischemia.

Read the detailed description

Ischemic heart disease is a major public health problem in the industrialized and developing world. Current research is focusing on the development of cell-based therapies using stem cells to treat heart failure. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into endothelial cells and participate in the development of new blood vessels in the heart damaged. Therefore, MSCs has shown promise for heart repair. The investigators study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intracoronary injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to repair heart function in patients with myocardial ischemia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by echocardiogram.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in quality of life

    Measures by specific questionnaire of quality of life: Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ)

    Measured: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  2. Changes in exercise capacity

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Changes in plasma inflammatory markers

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing MSCs injection in people with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, run by Alexandra Cristina Senegaglia at 1 site in Brazil.

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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2017. 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 Brazil. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by echocardiogram. (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 13 Dec 2017.
