Last Updated: 2019-09-10
Results Overview
Six-month post-CABG surgery serious adverse event (SAE) proportion of patients experiencing a composite of sustained ventricular arrhythmias, (lasting longer than 15 seconds), with hemodynamic compromise, sudden unexpected death at six months, ectopic tissue formation at 12 months by chest/abdomen/pelvis CT exam.

Participant Flow
This trial, which originally was designed to enroll 45 patients, was suspended after 9 patients were enrolled because of slow accrual.

| Measure |
(1) Lower MSC Dose
Participants will receive lower dose mesenchymal stem cell injections for a total of 2 x 107 cells
Lower dose mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) injection: Participants will receive between 10 and 20 intramyocardial injections of 2 million MSCs per 0.25-0.5 cubic centimeter (cc) for a total of 2 x 107 cells. The injections will be administered following completion of CABG surgery.
|
(2) Higher MSC Dose
Participants will receive higher dose of mesenchymal stem cell injections for a total of 2 x 108 cells
Higher dose MSC injection: Participants will receive between 10 and 20 intramyocardial injections of 20 million MSCs per 0.25-0.5 cc for a total of 2 x 108 cells. The injections will be administered following completion of CABG surgery.
|
(3) Placebo Injection
Participants will receive placebo injections
Placebo: Participants will receive between 10 and 20 placebo injections that consist of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and 1% human serum albumin (HSA).

Ambulatory ECG monitoring is the most widely employed technology for the evaluation of a patient with symptoms suggestive of cardiac arrhythmia or conduction abnormality. When the patient returns for follow up the 48- Hour Ambulatory monitor provides the data to the site staff to detect any abnormal recordings based upon standard ECG protocol.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Day 2Population: Due to the early termination of the study, there was an insufficient sample size of the Low and High dose of MSCs participants. The statistical analysis plan was revised to combine dose groups to make a comparison to placebo subjects.
The number of abnormal Echocardiogram readings 2 Days Post CABG will be documented based on transthoracic Echocardiographic standards. However, although Echocardiograms 2 days post CABG operation may show abnormalities which is standard in this population, this testing is instrumental because it measures End- diastolic wall thickness and Left ventricular volumes at end-diastole and end-systole.

(3) Placebo Injection
n=3 participants at risk
Participants will receive placebo injections
Placebo: Participants will receive between 10 and 20 placebo injections that consist of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and 1% human serum albumin (HSA).
