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 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥18 years, and ≤75 years.
  • Patients with severe chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy manifested by Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class II or greater angina, and/or New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or greater, AND who have undergone diagnostic coronary angiography demonstrating ≥70% diameter narrowing of at least 2 major coronary arteries or branches or ≥50% diameter narrowing of the left main coronary artery.
  • A significant left ventricular systolic dysfunction evaluated by echocardiography or LV angiography (LV ejection fraction ≤45% but ≥25%) due to prior myocardial infarction. This area of left ventricular dysfunction should be akinetic or severely hypokinetic, not dyskinetic or aneurismal, when assessed by echocardiography or LV angiogram. This territory should be irrigated by one or a branch of the three major vascular territories (i.e. right coronary artery, left circumflex, or left anterior descending artery distribution) that will be bypassed during the surgical procedure.
  • No contraindications or exclusions (see below).
  • Willingness to participate and ability to provide informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging including presence of an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) or permanent pacemaker (PPM), or cases in which it is anticipated that an ICD or PPM will be implanted prior to the 6 month follow-up (thus precluding performance of follow-up MR scans), claustrophobia.
  • Lack of ischemic symptoms (angina) prior to referral for CABG (i.e., patients with only 'silent' ischemia will be excluded).
  • Need for urgent or emergent revascularization.
  • Need for concomitant surgical procedure at the time of CABG (e.g. valve repair or replacement, aneurysm resection, etc.).
  • Hemodynamically unstable patients, as defined by heart rate ≤40/min or ≥100/min, and/or systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or ≥200 mmHg, and/or ongoing need for intravenous inotropic or vasopressor medications.
  • Patients with confirmed myocardial infarction within 14 days, and/or rising cardiac biomarker proteins (i.e. troponin), and/or worsening ECG changes.

  • Prior CABG surgery.
  • Stroke within 3 months prior to planned CABG.
  • Immunosuppressive medication (e.g. prednisone, cyclophosphamide, etanercept, etc.)
  • Severe chronic renal insufficiency (serum creatinine ≥ 200 mmol/dl or need for dialysis), liver disease, (diagnosis of cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, or elevation of serum transaminases ≥3 times the upper limit of normal), cerebrovascular disease requiring concomitant carotid endarterectomy, peripheral arterial disease (claudication as the primary factor limiting activity), active non-dermatological malignancy requiring on-going treatment, or any other condition that would place the patient at increased risk for complications in the judgment of the attending cardiologist or cardiac surgeon
  • Contra-indication for bone marrow aspiration (Thrombocytopenia <50.000 mm3, INR >2.0, use of antiplatelet agents other than aspirin).
  • Hemoglobin less than 10g/dL, white blood cell count less than 4,000/mm3, absolute neutrophil count less than 1500/mm3
  • Active infection, with a temperature greater than 37.5°C within 48 hrs prior to surgery and an unexplained white blood cell count in excess of 10,000/mm3
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
  • Significant cognitive impairment
  • Any condition associated with a life expectancy of less than 6 months
  • Patients known allergic reaction or contraindication to any of the component of the CD133+ enriched cells

About this study

Official title: The IMPlantation of Autologous CD133+ sTem Cells in Patients Undergoing CABG With Left Ventricular Dysfunction: the IMPACT-CABG Study

Following myocardial infarct, cellular therapy is a potential approach to repopulate the injured myocardium, to treat heart failure and restore cardiac function. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, feasibility and efficacy of intramyocardial delivery of selected autologous CD133+ bone marrow stem cells at time of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Read the detailed description

CD133+ are well-characterized distinct early progenitor group of stem cells that possess high engraftment, pluripotent and angiogenic capacity and proved to be valuable for cardiac repair by promoting neovascularization, inhibition of apoptosis and cardiomyogenesis.

Our proposed research protocol involves patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this phase II clinical trial, prospective, randomized, 2 arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we will assess the safety, feasibility and functional effect of intra-myocardial injection of highly selected autologous CD133+ bone marrow stem cells to placebo.

What participants receive

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

  • Injection of stem cells at time of coronary artery bypass graftingProcedure or surgery

    Also called CD133+ autologous stem cells OR placebo solution containing autologous plasma

    Following completion of the distal coronary artery bypasses, autologous CD133+ stem cells,or placebo solution containing plasma and indistinguishable will be injected in the myocardium. A total of 2.0 ml with 10-15 injections will be injected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Freedom from Major Adverse Cardiac Event: cardiac death, myocardial infarct, repeat coronary bypass grafting or percutaneous intervention of bypassed artery.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Freedom from major arrhythmia: sustained ventricular tachycardia or survived sudden death.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Regional myocardial perfusion and function assessed by magnetic resonance scans.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Device performance end point: Feasibility to produce from 100ml of bone marrow aspiration a final cell product that contains a target CD133+ cells higher than 0.5 million with a purity superior to 30% and a recovery superior to 10%.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. On symptom severity and quality of life after CABG surgery.

    Measured: 6 months

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 22 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 18 Oct 2017. 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 Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Freedom from Major Adverse Cardiac Event: cardiac death, myocardial infarct, repeat coronary bypass grafting or percutaneous intervention of bypassed artery. (time frame: 6 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01033617, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Oct 2017.
