Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to optimize the complex treatment of chronic heart failure of non-ischemic etiology by supplementing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells to the standard drug therapy.

Description:

The purpose of this study is to optimize the complex treatment of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy by supplementing the standard drug therapy with intracoronary administration of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.

Sixty patients will be selected and randomly divided into the main and control groups in a 1:

1 ratio.

Patients of the main group will receive complex treatment based on the addition to the standard drug therapy of intracoronary administration of 10 million mesenchymal stromal cells of the umbilical cord, and patients of the control group will receive only standard drug therapy.

Every patient will maintain their standard treatment of chronic heart failure, with maximum tolerated dosage without side effects.

The day of infusion will be considered day zero. From that moment, followup will be divided into 0-1,1-3 and 3-6 months.

Clinical results will be analyzed after completion of 6 months of followup.

Intervention

Procedure:
• Cardiac catheterization
Catheterization of the right and left heart cavities

Biological:
• Intracoronary administration of the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells
After performing cardiac catheterization, selective coronary angiography will be performed abruptly to assess the condition of the coronary canal by access through the right radial or common femoral artery on the right after 70 U/kg of heparin iv. Then 20 ml of the finished suspension (1×10(7) umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells diluted in 20 ml of heparinized saline) will be administrated into the mouth of the left coronary artery (LCA) without occlusion of the vessel with a balloon catheter and without stopping the coronary blood flow. Cell injection will be carried out using a standard 6 Fr catheter for selective coronary angiography with perfusion for 10 minutes at a volume rate of 2 ml/min, thereby introducing 1×10(6) cells per minute

Primary	change in the size of the heart	changes in the size of the right and left atrium, end diastolic and end systolic size of the right and left ventricles evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography	1,3,6 months
Primary	change in the volumes of the heart	changes in the volumes of the right and left atrium, end diastolic and end systolic volumes of the right and left ventricles evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography	1,3,6 months
Secondary	change in the clinical condition evaluated by the Scale for Heart failure to Optimize Clinical Status	changes in the clinical condition evaluated by the Scale for Heart failure to Optimize Clinical Status (SHOCS). The SHOCS scale consists of 10 points. The maximum possible score is 20, and the minimum is 0. Higher scores indicate a worse or worsening clinical condition, while lower scores or decreasing scores indicate a better clinical condition.	1,3,6 months
Secondary	change in the markers of myocardial dysfunction	changes in the markers of myocardial dysfunction of the serum level of amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide	1, 3 and 6 months

The SF 12 questionnaire consists of 12 items. The low level of the quality of life corresponds to estimates of 36-47 points, average of 24-35 points, high of 12-23 points.	1, 3 and 6 months
Secondary	change in the quality of life evaluated by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire	changes in the quality of life evaluated by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). The KCCQ is composed of 23 items.
