Other: Direct injection of ADRCs into the Left Ventricle
Other: Direct injection of placebo into the Left Ventricle
Registration Number
NCT00426868
Lead Sponsor
Cytori Therapeutics
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish safety and feasibility of utilizing Adipose Derived Stem \& Regenerative Cells (ADRCs) in patients who have areas of myocardium that are not revascularizable and have demonstrated reversible ischemia.

Detailed Description

Subjects who have coronary artery disease that cannot be revascularized and demonstrate reversible ischemia in the area supplied by the non-revascularizable vessel(s) will be evaluated for eligibility in this study. Eligible subjects will undergo standard pre-operative testing after admission to the hospital, and then will undergo liposuction under anesthesia, after which ADRCs will be isolated from the lipoaspirate. According to randomization subjects will receive either ADRCs or placebo.

The outcomes of this trial will be based on assessment of primary and secondary endpoints at 6 months post index procedure. Long Term Follow-up will be conducted at 12, 18, 24 and 36 months after the procedure.

Key

Exclusion Criteria

  • Planned or scheduled staged treatment of CAD or other interventional or surgical procedures
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • History of resuscitated sudden cardiac death; or symptomatic or sustained ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

  • Severe valvular disease
  • Pregnant or nursing females
  • Known and relevant allergies or sensitivities
  • Life expectancy <1 year
  • Participation in any other clinical research study that has not reached its primary endpoint or otherwise would interfere with the subject's participation in this study
  • Any concurrent disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for participation in the study.
