Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of injecting myoblasts (grown from your own skeletal muscle), using a catheter device, directly into the damaged heart muscle for treatment of severe heart failure.


Clinical Trial Description

Given the limited treatment options available to patients with congestive heart failure, there is a need for alternative therapies. Autologous skeletal myoblast transplantation has been demonstrated in pre-clinical studies to be a safe and effective treatment of heart failure. Initial clinical studies have shown that autologous myoblasts can be delivered into infracted myocardium by both direct epicardial and endomyocardial injection. However, autologous skeletal myoblast transplantation via percutaneous endomyocardial injection has the potential to play a significant role in such congestive heart failure patients without the need for surgical risk and general anesthesia. Thus, a Phase 2 clinical trial is proposed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous myoblast delivered by endomyocardial injection for the treatment congestive heart failure. ;
