MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective consists in the evaluation of the safety of the treatment: - In the dose escalation phase the principal objective is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the procedure (MRI and administration method) that is not part of the routine care of a heart attack, and confirm that the target dose can be administered intracoronary in a safe way. The following will be assessed: o Deaths from any cause within 30 days o Adverse Events (AEs) of any nature observed from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patient inclusion to up to 7 days after treatment administration. - In the randomization phase, the Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) will be assessed for the first 30 days of treatment administration, defined as death from any cause, new myocardial infarction, hospitalization for failure heart, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF) and stroke.;Secondary Objective: FOLLOW-UP SAFETY: MACE in the first 6 months and at 12 months. Death from any cause. Death from cardiovascular cause. General monitoring of all serious adverse events from any cause. EFFICACY: Evolution of infarct (morphology): % change in MRI at 6 and 12 months after treatment administration vs. screening MRI and 1 month MRI. Compare CSC versus placebo. Evolution of edema: % change in MRI at 1 month after treatment administration vs screening MRI. Evolution of the biomechanical parameters by MRI: % changes of MRI at 6 and 12 months of administration of the treatment vs screening MRI and 1 month MRI. Compare CSC vs placebo. CLINICAL PARAMETERS OF ANALYSIS: ProBNP curve (one day prior to 2nd hemodynamic assessment, 6 months, 12 months). CRP (one day prior to 2nd hemodynamic assessment, at discharge, 1 month). 6 minute walking test at discharge, 6 and 12 months. NYHA at discharge, 6 and 12 months. MLHFQ at discharge, 6 and 12 months. Hospital admission for HF. CCV mortality.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Daily assessment of sa

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Efficacy Variables: 1. Evolution of infarct size comparing the percentage of change with respect to the LV. The analysis will be performed by MRI at 6 and 12 months after treatment administration versus screening MRI and 1 month MRI. 2. Evolution of edema: comparing the percentage of change at 1 month after treatment administration versus edema at the moment of the screening. The analysis will be by MRI. 3. Evolution of the biomechanical parameters comparing the percentage of changes at 6 and 12 months after administration of the treatment versus the ones at the moment of the screening or at month 1 after the administration. The analysis will be by MRI. All analysis will be performed by comparing the population treated with CSCs versus the one treated with placebo. Clinical Parameters: 1. BNP curve. Comparing the BNP levels one day prior to the PCI of administration and 6 and 12 months after treatment. 2. CRP: comparing the CRP levels one day prior to the PCI of administration, at hospital discharge, and 1 month after treatment 3. 6 minute walking test at hospital discharge and 6 and 12 months after treatment 4. NYHA classification at hospital discharge and 6 and 12 months after treatment 5. MLHFQ at hospital discharge and 6 and 12 months after treatment 6. Hospital admission for HF during the 12 months of the clinical trial will be registered. 7. Follow-up of all the cases of cardiovascular mortality during the whole clinical trial. All analysis will be performed by comparing the population treated with CSCs versus the one treated with placebo.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: First month and 6 and 12 months.
