This study is designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ixmyelocel-T compared to placebo (vehicle control) when administered via transendocardial catheter-based injections to patients with end stage heart failure due to IDCM, who have no reasonable revascularization options (either surgical or percutaneous interventional) likely to provide clinical benefit.

Abnormal laboratory values (performed at central lab) at screening: - Platelets < 50,000 µL; - Hemoglobin < 9.0 g/dL; - Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) > 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); - Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV 1), HIV 2, or syphilis positive (rapid plasma reagin [RPR]); - Active hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies; - NOTE: Additional lab tests may be performed per local requirements including but not limited to: hepatitis B core antibody, human T lymphotropic virus I/II. Exclusionary Procedures, Devices, or Medication: 20. Subjects receiving anti-angiogenic drugs (e.g., anti-vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]); 21. Chronic exposure to cytotoxic therapy for oncologic or chronic non-oncologic reasons in the prior 3 months or expected requirement over the course of the study; 22. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial or receiving experimental intervention within 30 days of screening or having previously been exposed to Aastrom's ixmyelocel T product or previously received allogeneic cell therapy, autologous cell therapy cultured with animal proteins. 23. In the opinion of the Investigator, the subject is unsuitable for cellular therapy or has a food/drug allergy, surgical or medical condition, clinically significant psychiatric disorders, poor nutritional status, or lab abnormality requiring further medical evaluation that may interfere with the investigational product, interfere with the study results' interpretation, interfere with the subject's ability to complete the study or compromise the subject's safety. |

Primary | Average number of clinical events over 12 months post-treatment. | The primary endpoint will assess the efficacy of ixmyelocel-T compared to placebo (vehicle control) on the average number of events per patient over 12 months post-treatment in each treatment arm (total number events in each arm/total number of patients in each arm). The events include: all-cause deaths, cardiovascular hospitalizations, and unplanned outpatient or emergency department visits to treat acute decompensated heart failure. The clinical events used in this endpoint will be adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee who are blinded to treatment. | 12 Months | |
Secondary | The win ratio of the hierarchical occurrence of all-cause deaths/left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant/heart transplant, cardiovascular hospitalizations, and unplanned outpatient and ED interventions to treat ADHF | This is a composite end point. This endpoint will be primarily assessed excluding events considered to be related to administration of IP. An analysis including IP administration-related events will also be conducted as part of the sensitivity analyses. | 12 Months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline to 12 months post-treatment in 6-minute walk test. | A secondary objective will be to evaluate the changes from baseline to 12 months post-treatment in the distance walked as measured by the 6-minute walk test. | 12 Months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline to 12 months post-treatment in left ventricular function as evaluated by echocardiography. | A secondary objective will be to evaluate the change in left ventricular function as measured by echocardiography for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). | 12 Months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline to 12 months post-treatment in quality of life. | A secondary objective will be to evaluate the change in quality of life (total score) in patients treated with ixmyelocel-T compared to placebo using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. | 12 Months | |
Secondary | Change from baseline to 12 months post-treatment in NYHA Classification. | A secondary objective will be to evaluate the change from baseline to Month 12 in NYHA Classification in patients treated with ixmyelocel-T compared to placebo. | 12 Months | |
Secondary | Percent of patients with adverse events. | A secondary objective will be to evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of ixmyelocel-T versus placebo in patients with DCM from time of aspiration through 12 months post-treatment/follow-up by % of patients with adverse events. | 12 Months | |
Secondary | Percent of patients with major adverse cardiac events (MACE). | A secondary objective will be to evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of ixmyelocel-T versus placebo in patients with DCM by the percentage of patients who experience MACE events. MACE events include: unstable angina requiring hospitalization, myocardial infarction, stroke, worsening heart failure requiring hospitalization, VAD implantation, heart transplant, resuscitated sudden death, and cardiovascular death. | 12 Months |
