Study summary

An international, multi-centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial with central core lab analyses to determine the safety of intra-coronary infusion of enriched CD133+, bone marrow-derived, autologous progenitor cells in patients 5-10 days after acute percutaneous coronary revascularization (primary PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    1

    Enriched CD133+, bone marrow-derived, autologous progenitor cells for this trial will be infused in the coronary arteries

    Other: CD133+ infusion

  • Placebo comparator
    2

    Control group patients will receive 3 injections of 0.3 mL each of buffered normal saline (the vehicle used for cell suspension) into comparable vessels. Subjects will have an identical intra-coronary injection procedure to those randomized to autologous CD133+ progenitor cell injections.

    Other: placebo infusion

Interventions

  • OtherCD133+ infusion

    Subjects will be infused with all available autologous CD133+ cells after processing during one infusion session (during angiography).

  • Otherplacebo infusion

    Buffered normal saline will be infused in the coronary artery during an angiography.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. PRIMARY SAFETY ENDPOINT Comparison of progression in coronary atherosclerosis burden proximal and distal to the stented segment of the infarct-related artery in treated and control groups.

    Time frame: at 6 months post-infusion

  2. PRIMARY EFFICACY ENDPOINT Comparison of changes in myocardial thickening in non-viable akinetic / hypokinetic LV wall segments as determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) in treated and control groups.

    Time frame: at 6 and 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. SECONDARY SAFETY ENDPOINT (a) Development of ventricular arrhythmias including failed sudden cardiac death. (b) Development of congestive heart failure.

    Time frame: At all follow up's

  2. SECONDARY EFFICACY ENDPOINTS (a) Changes in % global LV ejection fraction (EF) compared with baseline as determined by cMRI and echocardiography pre- and post-cell infusion subsequent to primary PCI.

    Time frame: at all follow up's

  3. SECONDARY EFFICACY ENDPOINTS (b)Assessment of epicardial resistance and microvascular resistance, index of myocardial resistance and absolute coronary blood flow measurements in the infarct related artery.

    Time frame: at 6 months follow up

  4. SECONDARY EFFICACY ENDPOINTS (c) The feasibility of the CliniMACS® Reagent System to yield 5x106 CD133+ cells from 100-150 ml of autologous bone marrow.

    Time frame: prior to the infusion
