Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators scheduled to assess the value of intravenous injection of WJ-MSC in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ischemia/reperfusion injury in myocardial infarction can induce mass release of oxygen free radicals, trigger inflammatory reaction, and ultimately lead to myocardial remodeling and irreversible cardiac function decline. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) and haemorrhage are common pathological alternations in myocardium post primary PCI, which provide strong prognostic information for STEMI patients. Till now, there is no treatment to be used in clinical practice to reduce myocardium MVO and haemorrhage. With the deep research on stem cells, it is found that the benefits of MSC transplants for myocardium infarction may be achieved by its paracrine effect. Meanwhile, the immunoregulatory effect of MSC has been widely reported in multiply immune disease. Therefore, the applicant proposed the hypothesis that MSC can play an effective role in reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response, inhibiting microvascular obstruction and haemorrhage. Intravenous injection of MSC will be used in patients with STEMI within 12 hours post primary PCI. The primary endpoint and safety endpoint are recorded in the one year follow up to assess the clinical outcome of intravenous MSC treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

WJ-MSC cells implantation group

MSC cells (allogeneic transplantation from WJ-MSC primary cells); the frequency: for one time within12h after emergency coronary artery revascularization; dose levels: 1X10\^8; method of administration: intravenous injection. Other kinds of treatment are in accordance with the treatment guidelines for MI patients, listed in the column "Conventional drug therapy".

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

WJ-MSC cells implantation

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Laboratory of Stem Cell of Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University Medical School, is able to provide types of Good Manufacture Practice (GMP) level stem cells and stem cell-based medicinal products. Clinical-grade WJ-MSC primary cells are cultured to 4\~ 8 passages, and the surface markers (CD90+, CD105+, CD45-, CD31-, CD117-) are identified by flow cytometry. WJ-MSC cells are trypsinized and resuspended in the wash buffer of CTSTMD PBS (+Ca2+, +Mg2+). Within 2 hours after enzyme digestion, WJ-MSC cells are shipped to coronary care unit (CCU) and injected into the body.

Conventional drug therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

All patients undergo guideline-recommended treatment for STEMI, including aspirin (loading dose of 300mg before maintenance dose of 100 mg/d), clopidogrel (loading dose of 300mg before maintenance dose of 75 mg/d) or Ticagrelor (loading dose of 300mg before maintenance dose of 90 mg/d), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), β-receptor blockers, statins and nitrate esters.

CTSTMD PBS without WJ-MSC group

Saline only was injected in the control group. The frequency: for one time 2-12h after emergency coronary artery revascularization. Dose levels: the same dosage given to MSC group. Method of administration: intravenous injection. Other kinds of treatment are in accordance with the treatment guidelines for MI patients, listed in the column "Conventional drug therapy".
