Myocardial Infarction

Brief summary

The main objective of the CIRCULATE project is to compare the clinical outcomes of CardioCell administration in treatment of ischemic damages of cardiovascular system with control group, who will be treated by the administration of placebo during the sham procedure.

Detailed description

It is planned to enroll 105 patients into AMI trial with randomization into active (CardioCell) therapy and sham procedure/placebo administration with 2:1 ratio. Additional 5-10 subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive, in a non-blinded fashion, labelled CardioCell to determine the early uptake and retention of IMP in the target ischemic tissues. The primary research question of this project is to check if the administration of CardioCell could improve the clinical outcomes in patients with AMI. There are several secondary questions, defined by secondary endpoints, e.g.: if the investigated treatment is possible to administered, if the investigated treatment is safe and way of CardioCell administration, if it is possible to define any selected subgroup in which the treatment results are significantly different than in whole group.

Interventions

DRUGCardiac Drug

Patients in the AMI trial will receive one dose of IMP during the index procedure. The IMP administration will be performed by dedicated catheter into infarct related artery. Active IMP consist of 30 000 000 of Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) in each IMP dose prepared for patients randomized into active treatment group.

DRUGPlacebos

Patients randomized to the control group will receive 0.9% NaCl and 5% albumin injections (in the same volume as CardioCell) in the same manner. Control group will receive the same amount of fluid used for WJMSCs preparation, without cells.

Masking description

The Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will be blinded at project start, but may request unblinding if necessary to accommodate effective review of data. Other than the DSMB (if necessary), the only other un-blinded parties, meaning that they will have knowledge as to the patient's treatment assignment, will be the PBTiK UJ CM employee who participates in randomization utilizing randomization lists and investigational medication preparation.

Intervention model description

The AMI trial will enroll 105 patients with randomization into active vs. sham therapy with 2:1 ratio. Additional 5-10 subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive, in a non-blinded fashion, labelled CardioCell to determine the early uptake and retention of IMP in the target ischemic tissues.
