E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intracoronary allogeneic, immuno-selected, bone marrow-derived Stro3 mesenchymal precursor cell (MPC) delivery in the treatment of subjects with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine the effect of intracoronary delivery of allogeneic immunoselected, bone marrow-derived Stro3 mesenchymal precursor cells (MPC) on infarct size reduction in the treatment of subjects with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
To explore a dose-response effect of intracoronary delivered MPC in the treatment of subjects with an anterior wall STEMI on left ventricular remodelling, microvascular obstruction, and the relationship between time from onset of ischemic symptoms to primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
To explore additional functional and clinical effects of MPC in STEMI.

2. Males or females ≥ 18 years.
3. Clinical symptoms consistent with acute AMI (pain, etc.) for a maximum of 12 hours from onset of symptoms to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
4. De novo anterior Acute Myocardial Infarct (AMI) defined as:
≥ 0.2 mV ST elevation in 2 or more V1 – V6 leads with presentation in a maximum of 12 hours of onset of symptoms
Or:
Presumed new left bundle branch block with a minimum of 0.1 mV concordant ST elevation with presentation in a maximum of 12 hours of onset of symptoms
And:
Occlusion or flow limiting lesion with TIMI Flow Grade 0 or 1 in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery

Successful revascularization of the culprit lesion in the LAD within a maximum of 12 hours from the onset of AMI symptoms defined as (1) primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation, resulting in TIMI 3 or 2 flow AND (2) residual stenosis of less than 20% by on-line QCA.
NOTE: Subject is eligible if in addition to requiring a primary PCI plus stenting for the culprit lesion they have a stenosis of the LAD that is both distinct from the culprit lesion and requires PCI at the time of the index cardiac catheterization procedure. For example, if the culprit lesion is in the mid LAD but there is also a high-grade first diagonal (D1) stenosis, then the latter lesion may undergo PCI (plus stenting) during the index catheterization This specifically excludes patients who may require a PCI to a non-LAD coronary artery during the index catheterization.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Feasibility of the infusion of the investigational agent will monitored by measurement of TIMI flow and perfusion measurements prior to, during (after approximately 50% of total investigational agent volume infused) and following the investigational agent infusion after successful PCI and stenting.
