Arms & Interventions
Group A: Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) Group
Participants in this group will be receive a single administration of intravenous allogeneic human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) (100 million).
Intervention: 100 million Allogeneic Mesenchymal Human Stem Cells
Group 2: Placebo Group
Participants in this group will receive a single dose of placebo (Cell-free PlasmaLyte-A medium supplemented with 1% HSA) infusion.
Intervention: Placebo
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
EPC-CFU levels
Time Frame: 6 months post-infusion
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC)-colony forming units (CFUs) will be assessed from blood samples. The unit of measure is the average number of colonies per well.
Flow Mediated Diameter Percentage (FMD%)
Time Frame: 6 months post-infusion
FMD% is measured via brachial artery ultrasound. The unit of measure is percent.
Secondary Outcomes
- Target lesion lumen loss(6 months (post-infusion))
- Circulating angiogenic factors marker levels(6 months post-infusion)
- Circulating inflammatory markers(6 months post-infusion)
- Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) Angina Frequency(6 months post-infusion)
- EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) Quality of life Questionnaire Overall Health Status Question(6 months post-infusion)
- Short Form (SF) 36 Questionnaire Quality of Life Questionnaire(6 months post-infusion)
- Number of Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TE-SAE)(1 month post infusion)
- Number of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE)(12 months)
- Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events(12 months)
- Number of participants with abnormal lab values(12 months)
- Number of participants with Target Vessel Failure(12 months)
- Post-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) coronary artery endothelial function as assessed via CFR(6 months (post-infusion))
- Post-PCI coronary artery endothelial function as assessed via FFR(6 months (post infusion))
