Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed study will be a prospective, open-label, single-center, safety and feasibility phase 1 trial of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (BM-MSC) delivery though cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using a homogeneous population of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) who will be undergoing a two-ventricle repair within the first six months of life

Description:

This study is a prospective, open-label, single-center, safety and feasibility phase 1 trial of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (BM-MSC) delivery though cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using a homogeneous population of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) who will be undergoing a two-ventricle repair within the first six months of life. The dose-escalation methods with a modified continual reassessment at the five dose levels (1x10^6, 10x10^6, 20x10^6, 40x10^6, 80x10^6, cells/kg) will be performed to determine safety and feasibility of allogeneic BM-MSC infusion during pediatric cardiac surgery and the maximum tolerated dose in infants with CHD. In addition to the primary objective of assessing the safety and feasibility of BM-MSC delivery through CPB, our secondary objectives are designed to develop biological signature measures and clinical outcome measures feasible for use in larger efficacy and effectiveness trials with a particular focus on neurodevelopmental outcome and early postoperative course after BM-MSC treatment. We will determine actual magnitude of differences in neuroimaging and neurodevelopmental variables and postoperative inflammatory and pathophysiological variables after BM-MSC delivery in infants with CHD. Enrollment, follow-up, and analysis are planned to occur over 36 months for the treatment and initial follow-up portions of the study. Long-term follow-up until 18 months of age will be subsequently reported.
