NCT00081913

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if cell therapy with your own cells (autologous cells) delivered with a catheter to regions of the heart with poor blood flow will be safe and if it will relieve your chest pain and/or your ability to exercise.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects with functional class (CCS) III or IV angina.
  • Subjects who have attempted "best" medical therapy without control of symptoms.
  • All subjects must have a recent coronary angiogram (within the last 3 months).
  • Clinical signs and symptoms of clinically significant ischemia on nuclear perfusion imaging.
  • Subjects must be able to complete a minimum of 1 minute but no more than 6 minutes of the Standard Bruce Protocol.
  • Subject experiences angina during the baseline exercise tolerance test.
  • Subjects must either be no longer capable of reproduction or taking acceptable measures to prevent reproduction during the study.
  • Normal renal function.
  • Normal liver function.
  • Normal blood count.
  • Total occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery.
  • Candidates at high risk for percutaneous coronary angioplasty of treatment zone(s) based upon clinical or anatomic considerations including but not limited to the following: diabetes, congestive heart failure (severe right heart failure, NYHA class III or IV), left main disease, pulmonary hypertension, severe proximal vessel tortuosity, severe bendpoint obstructions, diffuse disease (\>2 cm in length), small vessel (\<2 mm reference diameter), stenosis which are either diffuse (\>2 cm in length) or distal, incessant restenosis lesions, unfavorable bifurcation stenosis, and degenerated or thrombosed saphenous vein grafts.

You may not qualify if:

  • Predominant congestive heart failure symptoms.
  • Patients who have been hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of CHF in the prior 6 months.
  • Patients who have had diuretics added to their medical regimen or an increase in diuretic dosage for signs or symptoms of CHF in the past 6 months.
  • Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 25% as determined by transthoracic echocardiography.
  • Patients with physical findings consistent with ongoing uncontrolled CHF.
  • Myocardial infarction within 30 days of treatment.
  • Successful coronary revascularization procedures within 3 months of study enrollment.
  • Documented stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 60 days of study enrollment.
  • History of severe aortic stenosis or insufficiency; severe mitral stenosis; or severe mitral insufficiency.
  • Severe co-morbidity associated with a reduction in life expectancy of less than 1 year.
  • Subjects with PT, PTT or platelet counts greater than the upper limit of normal and those with a hematocrit \<35%.
  • Subjects with uncontrolled hypertension.
  • Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug trial (IDE or IND) that has not completed the required follow-up period.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse within 3 months of screening.
  • Joint or peripheral vascular disease that severely limits treadmill walking.
  • +6 more criteria
