About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Investigation of Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) Administration in Weaning From Left Ventricular Assist Device

Left Ventricular Assist Devices are commonly used to assist failing hearts as a bridge to transplantation or for long-term support. The purpose of the MESenchymal stem cell therapy and Left Ventricular Assist Device program is to improve heart function with stem cell therapy and attempt to wean patients from HeartMate Left Ventricular Assist Device.

Read the detailed description

Currently Left Ventricular Assist Device-only patients are being implanted and followed. Feasibility of autologous mesenchymal stem cell grafting in patients receiving heart mate will be assessed in a 4 patient pilot trial. Mesenchymal stem cell are delivered during Left Ventricular Assist Device surgery by intramyocardial infusions. Recovery of contractile function of the heart is assessed during attempts to wean patients from Left Ventricular Assist Device

What participants receive

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

  • Autologous mesenchymal stem cellsDrug

    Also called MSC

    After bone-marrow aspiration by an authorized person, mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured during 17 days by the French Blood Establishment. Then, patients receive intramyocardial injections of mesenchymal stem cells during device surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Autologous mesenchymal stem cells in people with Chronic Myocardial Ischemia, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2018. 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 France. 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Feasibility of the full procedure (time frame: 1 month). 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 5 Jan 2018.
