Study Summary

The main purpose of this research is to determine whether injecting mesenchymal precursor cells (MPC) into the heart during surgery to implant a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is safe. MPCs are normally present in human bone marrow, and have been shown to increase the development of blood vessels and new heart muscle cells in the heart. In addition, this research is being done to test whether injecting the MPCs into the heart is effective in improving heart function.

Primary Outcome

The primary safety endpoint of this study is the incidence of the following potential study-intervention related adverse events within 90 days post intervention (LVAD implantation + intramyocardial injection of study product): infectious myocarditis, myocardial rupture, neoplasm, hypersensitivity reaction, and immune sensitization.
