Brief summary

Prospective, multi-center, 2:1 randomized (Treatment : Sham Control), sham-controlled, double-blinded trial to compare treatment using the CardiAMP cell therapy system to sham treatment Treatment Group: Subjects treated with aBMC using the CardiAMP cell therapy system Sham Control Group: Subjects treated with a Sham Treatment (no introduction of the Helix transendocardial delivery catheter, no administration of aBMC)

Interventions

DEVICECardiAMP Cell Therapy System

The CardiAMP Cell Therapy system consists of the CardiAMP Potency Assay, the Helix/Morph intramyocardial delivery catheter system, and the CardiAMP Cell Separator. The system allows the investigator to identify patients with a high chance to respond to im autologous stem cell therapy (using the CardiAMP Cell Potency Assay), to isolate the stem cells from a bone marrow harvest at the point of care (using the CardiAMP CS system), and to percutaneously inject the autologous cells into the myocardium using the Helix/Morph delivery catheters.

OTHERSham Treatment

Patients will receive sham bone marrow procedure and a ventriculogram. A scripted sham percutaneous procedure will be performed

Masking description

Quadruple-blinded, placebo-controlled study. Patients, investigators, the CRO, core labs and the sponsor will be blinded for individual treatment adjudication.

Intervention model description

Prospective, multi-center, 2:1 randomized (Treatment vs Sham Control), blinded trial comparing 2 paralel groups of patients with CMI treated with CardiAMP cell therapy system vs sham treatment.

Obstructive coronary disease unsuitable for conventional revascularization 6. Experience angina episodes at a minimum of 7 angina episodes per week (during a 4-week screening period). 7. Able to complete an exercise tolerance test on the treadmill 8. Left ventricular ejection fraction of greater than or equal to 40% as measured by echocardiography. 9. Qualification of a pre-procedure screening of bone-marrow aspiration

Exclusion criteria

Other cardiac or vascular system or other health-related criteria which may be seen in a patient's history and physical examination.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in Total Exercise Time on the treadmill using the Modified Bruce ProtocolBaseline and 6 months visitA superiority analysis with regards to change from Baseline in Total Exercise Time at the 6 months follow-up visit (using a Modified Bruce Protocol).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety: Total Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 6 months follow-upfrom randomisation to 6 months follow-upA non-inferiority analysis with regard to Total Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE: defined as death, cardiac hospitalization, non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke) at 12 month follow-up, as adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint classification (CEC) committee with 10% margin.
Efficacy: Change from baseline in Total Exercise Time at 6 months follow-upBaseline and at 6 months follow-upSuperiority analysis with regards to change from baseline in Total Exercise Time on Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) at 6 Month Follow-up Visit. Baseline (BL) is the average of (at least) two total exercise times measured during the screening period.
Efficacy: Change of angina frequency (per week) at 12 months follow-upBaseline and at 12 months follow-upSuperiority analysis with regards to change in angina frequency (episodes per week) at 12 month follow-up Visit versus baseline angina frequency (per week). Participants self-reported angina episodes utilizing an electronic diary for 4 weeks at baseline (screening period) and in the 4 weeks before the 12-month follow-up visits.
Safety: overall survival at 6 months follow-upat 6 months follow-upA non-inferiority analysis of overall survival at 6-months will be made comparing the Treatment group to the Sham Control group using a non-inferiority margin of 10%.
Safety: Total Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 12 months follow-upFrom randomisation to 12 month follow-upSuperiority analysis with regards to incidence of MACE from Randomization until the end of the 24 month follow-up period
Efficacy: Percentage of patients with at least 1 Serious Adverse Event (SAE)From randomization to 12 Months follow-upSuperiority analysis with regards to percentage of participants with at least one SAE. From randomization until the end of the 12 month follow-up period.
Efficacy: Change of Angina Frequency (per week) at 6 months follow-upBaseline and at 6 months follow-upSuperiority analysis with regards to change in angina frequency at 6 month follow-up visit versus baseline (expressed as angina frequency per week). Participants self-reported angina episodes utilizing an electronic diary for 4 weeks at baseline and in the 4 weeks before the 6-month follow-up visits.
