About this study

Official title: Intravenous Administration of Allogeneic Bone Marrow Derived Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) in Patients With Recent Onset Anthracycline-Associated Cardiomyopathy

This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and best method of delivery of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in improving heart function in patients with heart failure caused by anthracyclines (a type of chemotherapy drug used in cancer treatment). MSCs are a type of stem cell that can be removed from bone marrow and grown into many different cell types that can be used to treat cancer and other diseases, such as heart failure. Bone marrow derived MSCs may promote heart muscle cells repair and lead to reverse remodeling and ultimately improve heart function and decrease morbidity and mortality from progression to advanced heart failure.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To demonstrate the safety of allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) administered by intravenous infusion in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure secondary to chemotherapy with anthracyclines.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To demonstrate the efficacy of allogeneic hMSCs administered by intravenous infusion in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 40%) and heart failure secondary to treatment with anthracyclines.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive allogeneic hMSCs intravenously (IV) over 10-20 minutes once weekly for 4 weeks and standard of care drugs for heart failure.

ARM II: Patients receive only standard of care drugs for heart failure.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly for 6 months and then at 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse events of intravenous injection of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in patients with recent onset left ventricular systolic dysfunction from anthracyclines

    Statistical analyses of safety will be descriptive. In particular, will provide a table of adverse events.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change in improvement in left ventricular systolic function by 7 points

    Change from baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 6 months after randomization, expressed as a percentage. The comparison will be between the two groups of patients.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months

  2. Development of acute heart failure decompensation

    As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between investigational and control groups. These intervals and the associate p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  3. Emergency center visits for heart failure

    As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between investigational and control groups.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  7. Acute pulmonary edema

    As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between investigational and control groups. These intervals and the associate p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  8. Asymptomatic decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of > 10%

    As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between investigational and control groups. These intervals and the associate p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.

    Measured: Baseline to up to 6 months

  9. Heart failure admission

    As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between investigational and control groups. These intervals and the associate p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  10. Progression free survival

    As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between investigational and control groups. These intervals and the associate p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.

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?

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?

Incidence of adverse events of intravenous injection of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in patients with recent onset left ventricular systolic dysfunction from anthracyclines (time frame: Up to 6 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.
