Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to investigate safety and regenerative capacity of direct intra-myocardial injection of 100 million allogeneic CSCC_ASCs in NIDCM patients with reduced left ventricular EF (= 40%) and heart failure.;Secondary Objective: Allogeneic antibodies, left ventricular ejection fraction, end-systolic volume and myocardial mass. Development of allogeneic antibodies and laboratory safety measurements 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment and changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end-diastolic volume and myocardial mass at 6 months follow-up. Additional secondary endpoints are changes in NYHA, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, EQ-5D3L Questionnaire, 6 min walking test, additional echocardiographic measures (Global strain %) and NT-pro-BNP.;Primary end point(s): 1. Left ventricle end-systolic volume Measured using echocardiography;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months after treatment | — |
