E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of intra-myocardial as well as intra-coronary CD133pos. BM cell therapy on left ventricular ejection fraction as measured by echocardiography. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The intra-coronary delivery of CD133pos cells and the intra-myocardial application via the NOGA system are equally effective regarding the following parameters after 6 and 12 months compared to baseline:
- improvement of LV function as measured by cardiac MRI,
- a decrease in BNP,
- an increase in 6min walk test and
- an increase in peak oxygen consumption. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
In patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of ≤45% and heart failure symptoms ≥ NYHA II despite optimal therapy, the application of 0,1-5 x 10e6 CD133pos cells isolated from 100-150ml of bone marrow aspirate via the intra-coronary route as well as via NOGA-guided intra-myocardial cell delivery system leads to a significant improvement in left ventricular global ejection fraction measured via echocardiography compared to baseline at 6 months. Significant improvement is defined by an absolute increase of LVEF of 5%. |
|
