Cell004: A Phase 2b, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Intracoronary Administration of MYDICAR (AAV1/SERCA2a) in Subjects with Heart Failure.The study primary objective is to determine the efficacy of a single intracoronary infusion of 1 x 1013 DRP MYDICAR added to an optimal HF regimen in patients with ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy and moderate to advanced symptoms of heart failure (HF) by reducing the frequency and/or delaying HF related hospitalizations compared to placebo treated patients. Secondary objectives will include assessment of the safety of MYDICAR by determining the incidence and severity of AEs and changes in laboratory parameters. In addition, a

Neurocardiogenic Injury in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

We designed a prospective observational study evaluating the clinical predictors of cardiac complications and long-term outcome in the patients admitted with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The major benefits of this study are defining prevalence and risk/protective

factors, evaluating intermediate to long term neurocardiovascular outcome and expanding our understanding of the cardiac complications related to neurologic injury in patients with SAH. As the nature of the study, which is observational and questionnaire design, this study carries a minimal risk including psychological distress and anxiety during follow up interviewing and cognitive testing. We hypothesize that the cardiac complication in this population is related to a good long-term prognosis

and catecholamine related medications may impact the clinical course of disease. The findings from this study may help to develop an evidence-based treatment. (May 2015– June 2017)

HF-MACE events. Patients are expected to participate in this study until the required number of HF-MACE occurs. The last patient enrolled must be followed for a minimum of 6 months.

The primary objectives of this study are to:

determine whether transendocardial delivery of 150 million (M) allogeneic human bone marrow-derived MPCs (cep-41750) administered during a single index cardiac catheterization and intracardiac mapping procedure is more effective than a scripted sham cardiac mapping and cell delivery procedure in patients with chronic HF due to LV systolic dysfunction who have received optimal

medical/revascularization therapy (April 2015– June 2017

The Secondary Objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of allogeneic

hMSCs administered by transendocardial injection in patients with chronic ischemic left ventricular dysfunction secondary to MI. (June 2013– June 2017)

pulmonary insufficiency eventually resulting in death. (Feb. 2013– June 2017)

Studying Endothelial Function and Endothelial Progenitor Stem Cells Colonies before and after Heart Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation.The primary object is to study those pleotropic effects of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation we will conduct a prospective trial where we will

measure in vivo endothelial function (the brachial artery method flow mediated dilatation percent change) before and after the cell injection. We will also study the effects of mesenchymal stem cell

transplantation on the endothelial progenitor stem cells function by measuring the ability of patients to produce endothelial progenitor stem cells colonies (the Colony Forming Unit Hill Colony Assay).

Gene Expression Profiling and Prognosis in Cardiomyopathy.

Primary: To validate a previously discovered molecular signature that accurately predicts the long-term prognosis of patients diagnosed with new onset heart failure and/or cardiomyopathy in an independent sample. To grow cardiac stem cells from a biopsy sample to test the hypothesis that cardiac stem cell growth and quality predict outcome in patients with heart failure.

Secondary: To correlate the gene expression levels of an established cardiac biopsy derived multigene biomarker with corresponding gene expression profiles from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The risks of this study include Catheterization with Heart Biopsy (part of the standard of care biopsy) The following is a list of risks and discomforts related to a heart biopsy: Unlikely risks: bleeding, infection, serious and long-lasting heart rhythm problems, injury to the pulmonary artery, blood clots in the lungs, and damage to the walls of the heart.
