PHASE2

Brief Summary

A randomized study to assess the safety, feasibility and effectiveness of direct intramyocardial percutaneous delivery of autologous bone marrow-derived total mononuclear cells or selected CD34+ cells...

Detailed Description

Primary Endpoint: Incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30 days. MACE is defined as a combined endpoint of death, acute MI (Q-wave and non-Q wave), revascularization procedures (percutan...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion criteria:
  • Subjects \>21 years old;
  • Subjects with functional class (CCS) III or IV angina;
  • Subjects with left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ³ 30%
  • Attempted "best" tolerated medical therapy
  • Clinical signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia with reversible ischemia on perfusion imaging;
  • Patient deemed to be a poor candidate or at high surgical risk;
  • Subject must be able to complete a minimum of 2 minutes but no more than 10 minutes exercise test (Bruce Protocol);
  • Subject (or their legal guardian) understands the nature of the procedure and provides written consent prior to the procedure;
  • Subject is willing to comply with specified follow-up evaluations;
  • Patient must develop angina and a horizontal or down-sloping ST-segment depression of ³ 1 mm during exercise, compared to pre-exercise ST segment, 80 ms from the J point or moderate angina with or without the above ST segment changes.
  • Angiographic
  • Severe obstruction (lumen diameter stenosis \> 70%) in a coronary or surgical conduit felt to be solely or partially responsible for angina and myocardial ischemia;
  • There must be at least one coronary or surgical conduit with \< 70% diameter stenosis
  • Poor candidate for percutaneous coronary intervention of treatment zone
  • Poor candidates for surgical revascularization procedures, such as inadequate target coronary anatomy or lack of potential surgical conduits.

Exclusion

  • Pregnant women;
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction \<30% as assessed by either echocardiography or left ventriculography;
  • Severe cardiac heart failure with NYHA functional class III-IV symptoms;
  • Chronic atrial fibrillation;
  • Prosthetic aortic valve;
  • Severe (grade III-IV) mitral or aortic insufficiency;
  • Wall thickness of \<8 mm (defined by echocardiography) of the proposed target region of myocardium;
  • Severe co-morbidity associated with a reduction in life expectancy of \<1 year, such as chronic medical illnesses
  • Braunwald class II unstable angina
  • Severe peripheral (or aortic) vascular disease which might increase the risk of vascular complications (perforation, dissection or embolization);
  • Significant aortic valve pathologic sclerosis or stenosis
  • LV thrombus (mobile or mural-based) seen on echocardiography;
  • Recent (within 4 weeks) documented myocardial infarction (Q and/or non-Q wave) defined as CK-MB \>3times upper normal level;
  • Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug trial that has not completed the required follow-up period;
  • Thrombocytopenia or history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis
  • Leukopenia
  • Leukocytosis
  • Anemia or erythrocytosis
  • Active peptic ulcer or active gastrointestinal bleeding;
  • Chronic renal failure requiring dialysis;
  • Prior or current malignancy
  • Other conditions that can significantly affect the bone-marrow
  • Evidence of concurrent infection (WBC \>12.000 mm3, temperature \>38.5° C);
  • Serological of clinical evidence of HIV
  • Immunotherapy
  • Abnormal bone-marrow morphology as evident in bone-marrow smear prior to the intervention
  • Angiographic/Ventriculographic
