Clinical Trial Summary

REGENERATE-COBRA will examine whether autologous stem cell treatment can improve angina symptoms and quality of life for patients with refractory angina. Patients will be randomised (randomly allocated with a 50:50 chance) to either the 'treatment' or the 'sham' group - they will not know which group they are in. In the 'treatment' group: - Stem cells will be collected from bone marrow in the patient's hip under local anaesthetic (a bone marrow aspiration). - Under local anaesthetic, the stem cells will be infused into the arteries that supply blood to the heart through a small tube inserted either in the wrist or the groin. - The follow-up involves a phone call at 1 month and 12 months and clinic visit at 6 months. In the 'sham' group: - A sham bone marrow aspiration is performed - a 3mm nick in the skin will be made under local anaesthetic. - A sham cell infusion is performed - a small tube is inserted either in the wrist or groin under local anaesthetic. - The follow-up involves a phone call at 1 month and 12 months and clinic visit at 6 months.


Clinical Trial Description

REGENERATE-COBRA is a single centre, randomised (1:1) sham-controlled clinical trial taking place at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, UK. - It is recruiting 110 symptomatic refractory angina patients. - All participants will be blinded to their treatment arm. They will wear a blindfold and noise cancelling headphones for the bone marrow aspiration and the infusion procedures. - Patients allocated to the treatment arm will undergo a bone marrow aspiration. After cell processing, the autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells are infused into the coronary arteries using the stop-flow technique. - Patients allocated to the sham arm will undergo a sham bone marrow aspiration (a 3mm nick in the skin under local anaesthetic) and a sham cell infusion (a radial or femoral sheath will be inserted under local anaesthetic). - All patients will be followed up with a phone call at 1 month and 12 months, and a clinic visit at 6 months. - The primary endpoint is change in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina score at 6 months. ;
