Stem Cell Therapy as Adjunct to Revascularization

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to receive an injection of your own bone marrow adult stem cells (autologous BM-MNC) to your heart wall during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).

Clinical Trial Description

The experimental design will be a Phase I safety trial in which all subjects from the VA Salt Lake City Health Care System presenting with CAD and associated depressed LV function requiring myocardial surgical revascularization will be eligible for enrollment. Patients enrolled in the study will receive autologous BM-MNC as adjunct to CABG. The primary outcome measure will be safety as measured by the incidence of postoperative Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and Adverse Events (AE). The secondary outcome measures will be LV function, myocardial perfusion, and clinical improvement. The trial will have one experiment with one patient group. Group 1 (n=15) will follow standard Phase I dose escalation curve on a magnitude of 0.5 log increase after every third patient. Dose escalation will continue until a dosage of 1 x108 cells/pt is reached or maximum tolerated dose equivalent (MTDE) is identified. Cellular therapeutic products such as BM-MNCS do not possess the same pharmacologic profile as small molecule drugs, and thus, do not possess predictable metabolic activity and metabolite production, as do traditional pharmaceuticals. This can make the identity of a maximum tolerated dose somewhat difficult. We are therefore using the term MTDE instead of MTD to indicate a cell dosage that is consistent with clinical morbidity beyond obvious clinical benefit. The characteristics identifying a MTDE could be any adverse event felt to be related to the actual cell dosage or its escalation. Although unlikely, MTDE events could include microembolic phenomena, hematoma at the injection site, obvious myocardial congestion or ischemia at the injection site. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
