Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with chronic stable angina on maximal medical therapy and an occluded coronary artery supplying an ischemic viable myocardial region as shown on Sestamibi scan. On coronary angiography, the occluded coronary artery must have a patent proximal segment of at least 30 mm with at least one side branch to enable the injection of the EPC if the vessel remains occluded despite the attempted angioplasty efforts.
  • Patients are not candidates for or are not willing to undergo CABG surgery.
  • Age 18 to 80 years
  • Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female
  • Ejection fraction >35% on Sestamibi
  • Sestamibi scan (myocardial perfusion) during exercise or dipyridamole, demonstrating regional reversible ischemia in an area relating to the occluded coronary artery.
  • Informed consent obtained and consent form signed

Who cannot join

  • Patients not satisfying the coronary angiography and Sestamibi criteria
  • Patient who received blood transfusions during the previous 4 weeks (to exclude the potential of non-autologous EPCs in the harvested blood).
  • Inability to communicate (that may interfere with the clinical evaluation
  • Myocardial infarction during the preceding 3 months
  • Significant valvular disease or after valve replacement
  • After heart transplantation
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Renal failure (creatinine 10% above the upper limit according to the hospital normograms)
  • Hepatic failure
  • Anemia (lower than 11mg/dl.hemoglobin for female and lower than 12 mg/dl for male)
  • Abnormal coagulation tests normal [platelets, PT (INR), PTT]
  • Stroke within the preceding 3 years
  • Malignancy within the preceding 3 years
  • Concurrent chronic or acute infectious disease
  • Severe concurrent medical disease (e.g., septicemia, HIV-1,2/HBV/HCV infections, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
  • Chronic immunomodulating or cytotoxic drugs treatment
  • Patients who have rectal temp. above 38.40C for 2 consecutive days
  • Patient unlikely to be available for follow-up

Study objective : To determine the safety and efficacy of intracoronary injection of blood-borne autologous EPCs in relieving symptoms of angina pectoris in symptomatic patients treated with maximal medical therapy with an occluded coronary artery supplying ischemic myocardium Study Design : Phase II, a single center,a non-randomized,open-label trial,

Study population :

Total expected no. of patients : 24

main selection criteria :

  • Patients with chronic stable angina on maximal medical therapy and an occluded coronary artery supplying an ischemic viable myocardial region as shown on Sesta-mibi scan. On coronary angiography,the occluded coronary artery must have a patent proximal segment of at least 30 mm with at least one side branch to enable the injection of the EPC if the vessel remains occluded despite the attempted angioplasty efforts.
  • Age 18-80 years
  • Ejection fraction >35 % on Sesta-mibi scan
  • Sestamibi scan (myocardial perfusion) during exercise or dipyridamole,demonstrating regional reversible ischemia in an area relating to the occluded coronary artery.

Investigational Product : At D-8 250 ml of blood drawn from the patients for production of autologous EPCs or ACPs (VescellTM), On D0 ,at least 1.5 million EPCs with viability >75 % suspended in 6 ml sterile cell culture medium will be injected to the same patients by intracoronary artery.

The study consists of 4 periods:Screening ( D-14to-9\&D-8,Treatment(D0),Acute Safety follow-up (D1\&D2),Chronic follow-up (D30,D90\&D180)period ,total follow-up of each case is 6 months.

Evaluation criteria :

Safety : no.\& duration of adverse event \& serious adverse event

Efficacy :

  • change from baseline to 1,3,6 months of CCS, 6-minute walking test
  • change from baseline to 3 \& 6 months of Sesta-mibi scan
  • change from baseline to 3 \& 6 months of symptom-limited exercise time,exercise-induced ischemia \& METs on Sesta-mibi scan Duration of study: July 2004-December 2006

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing VesCell (TM)-Autologous EPCs/Angiogenic Cell Precursors in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by TheraVitae Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 18 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 20 Oct 2006. 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 Israel. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Safety : no.& duration of adverse event & serious adverse event. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Oct 2006.
