Safety Evaluation of Intracoronary Infusion of Extracellular Vesicles in Patients Following Coronary Stent Implantation
- Registration Number
- NCT04327635
- Lead Sponsor
- Christopher J. McLeod
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of using a biological drug called PEP in people who have had a coronary stent placed. A biological drug is a substance that is made from a living organism or its products (parts). In this case, PEP is made of certain parts of blood from living blood donors obtained from a certified blood bank. PEP comes in a powder form and is mixed with heparinized saline (a solution used to prevent clots in catheters) to create a solution that can be injected. The investigators want to see if PEP can be used to stop or slow heart damage.
- Detailed Description
Patients who undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) will be treated with a single dose of PEP within 20 minutes after stent placement or post-dilation (whichever is last). Subjects will be screened at the time of emergency room presentation. Subjects will be treated in the cardiac catheterization laboratory where the PCI will be completed and PEP will be administered. Subjects will be followed for one year after PEP administration through clinic visits.

Group Intervention Description PEP in Coronary Stent Implantation PEP Patients undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and possible stent placement procedure will receive a one-time intracoronary infusion of PEP within 20 minutes after stent placement or post-dilation (whichever comes last).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a single dose (10 mL) of PEP at escalating concentrations of extracellular vesicles delivered at a single time point (after PCI). Days 1-14 of the study period for each study participant. DLTs are defined as: signs of infection present in the judgement of a reviewing MD, CTCAE Grade 2 or higher bronchial stricture (rhonchi/wheezing), or CTCAE Grade 3 or higher defined as new or reoccurring angina or anginal equivalent after infusion with PEP; elevated ALT, AST, total or direct bilirubin, unless due to procedural complications or complications of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM); decreased hemoglobin or platelet level, unless due to procedural complications or complications of ICM; sustained ventricular arrhythmia during PEP infusion; hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis during PEP infusion; any other grade 3 or higher adverse event.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Ejection fraction Day 7 and Day 40 of the study period for each study participant. Cardiac MRI will be used to assess ejection fraction.
Infarction scar size Day 7 and Day 40 of the study period for each study participant. Cardiac MRI will be used to assess myocardial infarction scar size.
Alloimmune Response Day 1 (Baseline/Screening) visit, Day 40 and Day 365 Class I \& II Antibody Single Antigen Bead testing will be completed. Changes will be documented and evaluated.
