About this study

Official title: Timing for Intracoronary Administration of Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells After Acute ST-elevated Myocardial Infarction: a Pilot Study

Most studies on intracoronary bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMC) transplantation for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) involve treatment 3-7 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, the optimal timing is unknown. The present study assessed the therapeutic effect at different times after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Read the detailed description

On the basis of experimental studies that bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMCs) transfer in the injured tissue can promote regional myocardial perfusion and improved cardiac function, several clinical trials have shown that intracoronary bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMC) transplantation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients several days after myocardial reperfusion is safe and may enhance the improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The timing of BMC administration, baseline LVEF, dosage of BMC and other factors has been linked to improvement in LVEF after BMC transplantation. In our previous work, we gave BMCs within 24 hours after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and found that it was safe and effective . In addition, there are another report about longer time from symptom onset to BMC infusion (2-4 weeks), which also appeared effective . The timing of intracoronary stem cell administration may have a critical effect on cell engraftment and may be responsible for the various biological and functional responses to therapy. However, few studies have directly addressed the optimal timing of cell injections. Therefore, in this prospective randomized study, BMCs were given at different times (within 24 hours, 3 to 7 days, or 7 to 30 days after reperfusion) to investigate whether the timing of therapy affects the therapeutic response of AMI patients.

What participants receive

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

  • BMC therapy within 24 hoursOther

    The BMCs were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation on Lymphocyte Separation Medium. BMCs were infused into IRA at the site of the previous occlusion. This was accomplished with the use of a microtubular. After positioning of the microtubular into the distal segment vessel of the stent position in the infarct-related artery, 15 milliliter of the whole cell suspension was slowly administered via microtubular. The usual time should be over 10min to prevent back-flow and to prolong cellular contact time for cellular migration into the tissue. Patients in BMC therapy group within 24 hours remained in the cath-lab until the entire procedure, including primary PCI and intracoronary BMC infusion, was completed.

  • BMC therapy within 3-7 daysOther

    Patients in this group, who underwent a second procedure, to receive BMC transplantation in the cath-lab during the same hospitalization or returned for a second hospitalization.

  • BMC therapy within 7-30 daysOther

    Patients in this group, who underwent a second procedure, to receive BMC transplantation in the cath-lab during the same hospitalization or returned for a second hospitalization.

  • PCI onlyOther

    The saline was intracoronary infusion with the use of microtubular.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing BMC therapy within 24 hours, BMC therapy within 3-7 days and BMC therapy within 7-30 days in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University.

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 5 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 24 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 of left ventricular eject factor (LVEF) from the baseline (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 NCT02425358, 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 24 Apr 2015.
