Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study objectivesThe aim of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of intramyocardial injection of autologous bone marrow cells in no-option patients with refractory angina pectoris and documented myocardial ischaemia.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAngina pectoris, myocardial ischaemia
InterventionAfter written informed consent has been obtained, quality of life and exercise capacity will be investigated. In addition myocardial function and perfusion will be documented. Bone marrow will be aspired from the iliac crest under local anesthesia. Patients will be randomised to receive bone marrow cells or placebo. In all patients NOGA™ mapping will be performed with subsequent intramyocardial injection of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells or placebo.

Quality of life and exercise capacity will be re-assessed at 3 and 6 months follow-up. In addition, changes in myocardial function and perfusion will be evaluated at 3 months follow-up.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe change in myocardial perfusion (SPECT) at 3 months follow-up relative to baseline.
Secondary outcome measuresEfficacy:
1. Clinical end points:
1.1. Angina frequency
1.2. Canadian cardiovascular society score
1.3. Quality of life
1.4. Exercise capacity
2. Functional end points:
2.1. Change in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction at 3 months follow-up
2.2. Regional myocardial function on a segmental base at 3 months follow-up
3. Safety:
3.1. Occurrence of arrhythmias
3.2. Pericardial effusion greater than 5 mm (echo)
3.3. Myocardial damage
3.4. Severe inflammation
