About this study

The object of this open-labeled, uncontrolled pilot study was to investigate the safety and feasibility of percutaneously transplanting autologous bone marrow (ABM) cells into the myocardium using the helical needle transendocardial (TE) delivery system in stable coronary patients with ventricular dysfunction due to chronic myocardial infarction (MI).

A secondary goal was to assess the possibility that such cell injections could improve ejection fraction (EF).

What participants receive

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

  • Transendocaridal Transplantation of Autologous Bone MarrowProcedure or surgery

    Single treatment, harvest and transplant of patients own bone marrow. Cells are delivered to the myocardium via transendocardial delivery catheter.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety of treatment

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Transendocaridal Transplantation of Autologous Bone Marrow in people with Ventricular Dysfunction and Myocardial Infarction, run by BioCardia, Inc. at 2 sites in Argentina.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 3 Nov 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Argentina. 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 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?

Safety of treatment (time frame: 6 months). 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 3 Nov 2009.
