E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
The overall aim of the project is to test the feasibility and safety of allogeneic adipose-derived stromal cells (CSCC_ASC) investigational medicinal product, to improve myocardial function in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathies (NIDCM) and heart failure. |

E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
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. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
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. |
