About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase I Study of the Safety of Multi-vessel Intra-coronary Delivery of Allogeneic Human Cardiosphere-Derived Stem Cells in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

To determine the safety profile of CAP-1002 administered by multi-vessel intracoronary infusion in subjects with DCM. The study will further explore safety and exploratory efficacy endpoints of CAP-1002.

Read the detailed description

Eligible subjects will undergo sequential intracoronary infusion of CAP-1002 or placebo in up to three coronary arteries supplying three major cardiac territories to the heart (anterior, lateral, inferior/posterior). After completion of the screening procedures, Phase Ia subjects will receive CAP-1002 administered via intracoronary infusion in a dose escalation, stepwise manner. Phase Ia subjects will be followed at Week 2 and at Months 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 after CAP-1002 infusion. The first fourteen (14) subjects will receive intracoronary infusion of CAP-1002 in an open-label fashion (Phase Ia). Once all 14 subjects in the Phase Ia have reached the primary safety endpoint (1 month visit), the DSMB will conduct a review of the Phase Ia data and recommend whether to proceed with enrollment of the next 28 subjects in the Phase Ib.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Allogeneic Cardiosphere-Derived CellsExperimentalThe Phase I study consists of a Phase Ia portion and a Phase Ib portion. The Phase Ia portion (N=14 subjects) consists of an open-label, single-arm, study design. The potentially conducted Phase Ib portion of the study (N=28 subjects) consists of a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study design. The Phase Ia portion is an open-label, dose escalation of Allogeneic Cardiosphere-Derived Cells (CDCs).

  7. Development of, or an increase in the frequency of, VT with a duration of 30 seconds or longer ascertained by protocol-mandated ECG ambulatory monitoring.

    Measured: During the six & twelve month follow-up period

  8. Development of increased anti-Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) antibody levels with development of sensitization to HLA antigens specific to the CAP-1002 CDC donor at immunologically significant titers.

    Measured: During the six & twelve month follow-up period

  9. Total number of appropriate ICD firings.

    Measured: During the six & twelve month follow-up period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Allogeneic Cardiosphere-Derived Cells (CDCs) in people with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, run by Capricor Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 21 Jun 2016. 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 United States. 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 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?

Proportion of subjects that experience new TIMI flow 0-2 or TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) 0-2. (time frame: Intraprocedural). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Jun 2016.
