About this study

Official title: A Phase I Open Label Pilot Study to Obtain Tissue for Histological Analysis After Application of Anginera™ in Adults With A Left Ventricular Assist Device As A Bridge To Transplant

The purpose of this study is to obtain human heart tissue after treatment with Anginera to determine its effect on a variety of things that might indicate improvement in heart function. Patients who will have a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implanted while they wait for a donated heart will be treated with Anginera. At the time of heart transplant, their diseased heart which is removed will be analyzed by microscopic examination to see what effect Anginera had.

Read the detailed description

This will be a prospective, multi-center, randomized, open-label, within-patient paired design study. The primary purpose is to analyze cardiac tissue obtained after application of Anginera to adults with an LVAD as a bridge to transplant, to determine effects on various markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Anginera, a human tissue replacement therapy in people with Heart Failure, run by Theregen, Inc. at 3 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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. 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?

To analyze cardiac tissue obtained after application of Anginera to adults with an LVAD as a bridge to transplant, to determine effects on various markers.. 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.
