Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Experiencing Any of the Adjudicated EventsWithin 1-month post-infusion

Adjudicated Events reported included: Acute myocarditis; Death due to ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF); Sudden unexpected death (defined as occurring within one hour of symptom onset, or un- witnessed death); and Major adverse cardiac event (MACE) (defined as the composite incidence of death, non- fatal recurrent MI, hospitalization for heart failure, emergency room treatment for heart failure, left ventricular assist device \[LVAD\] placement or heart transplant).

Percent Change From Baseline in Myocardium Mass Infarct Size at Month 12Baseline, Month 12

Infarct size, expressed as a percentage, was calculated by dividing the sum of infarct areas from all sections by the sum of left ventricular (LV) areas from all sections (including those without infarct scar) and multiplying by 100. Percent improvement in infarct size defined by scar as a percent of LV mass was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: Percent change = (post-baseline value-Baseline value)/Baseline value \*100%.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Absolute Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) at Month 6 and 12Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12

LVEF is the fraction of chamber volume ejected in systole (stroke volume) in relation to the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole (end-diastolic volume). LVEF expressed as percentage ejection fraction was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Absolute change was calculated as: post-baseline value-Baseline value.

Percent Change From Baseline in Function of the Region Receiving CAP-1002 Therapy at Month 6 and 12Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12

Tissue mass recovery in the function of region receiving therapy expressed as percentage improvement was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as: Percent change = (post-baseline value-Baseline value)/Baseline value \*100%.

Change From Baseline in Six-Minute Walk Test at Month 6 and 12Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12

The six-minute walk test measures the distance a participant is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the participant to walk as far as possible in six minutes. The participant is allowed to self-pace and rest as needed as they traverse back and forth along a marked walkway. The total distance walked, in meters, was recorded for each participant. Longer distances indicate better outcomes.

Change From Baseline in Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) Total Score at Month 6 and 12Baseline, Month 6 and Month 12

Health related quality of life is measured using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire (MLHFQ). The MLHFQ is a patient-reported outcome to measure the patient's perceptions of the influence of heart failure on physical and emotional aspects of life. The questionnaire has 21 items to assess the impact of frequent physical symptoms of heart failure and the effects of heart failure on physical and emotional functions. Responses are recorded on six-point Likert scales, ranging from 0 (none) to 5 (very much). Total Scores are summed to a range of 0-105, in which with higher scores indicate worse health-related quality of life.

PGA will ask participants to assess how their overall status has changed since prior to receiving the therapy. Possible PGA responses are "0=none", "1=mild", "2=moderate", "and 3=severe". Change from Baseline was calculated as lowest PGA score on scheduled visits minus PGA score at Baseline which resulted in possible ranges from -3 to +3. Decreasing scores indicate improvement.
