Interventions

  • Allogeneic Neonatal mesenchymal stromal cells (nMSCs) — BIOLOGICAL
    nMSCs will be administered intravenously in the predefined dose per each group. The rate of infusion will be approximately 30- 60 minutes at 0, 15 and 30 days, with escalating dose levels.

Study Details

This is a Phase 1 study to determine the safety and efficacy of allogeneic neonatal mesenchymal stromal cells (nMSCs) for the treatment of Dilated Cardiomyopathy. The purpose of the study is to help doctors and scientists learn if allogeneic neonatal mesenchymal stromal cells (nMSCs) infusions are a safe and effective way to improve cardiac function and left ventricular ejection fraction.

Arms

  • Experimental: Adult Cohort
    Adults (18-30 years) will be enrolled into all dose levels (as tolerated) of Phase 1A. Open label nMSCs will be administered intravenously in the following defined dose groups. The rate of infusion will be approximately 30- 60 minutes at 0, 15 and 30 days, with escalating dose levels: * Dose level 1: 5.0x107 nMSCs at 0, 15 and 30 days * Dose level 2: 1.0.x108 nMSCs at 0, 15 and 30 days * Dose level 3: 2.5x108 nMSCs at 0, 15 and 30 days Dose escalation will follow 3+3 study design parameters. The next dosing group will be initiated at least one month after the last subject in a particular dose level has received the last dose treatment. Once MTD has been determined, 3 additional patients will be enrolled to ensure a total of 6 patients are enrolled in MTD level for confirmation.
  • Experimental: Pediatric Cohort
    Pediatric participants (ages 4 years-18 years) will be enrolled into dose level as determined in Phase 1B (3+3 study design; open label). nMSCs will be administered intravenously in the following defined dose groups. The rate of infusion will be approximately 30- 60 minutes at 0, 15 and 30 days, with escalating dose levels: * Dose Level 1: 0.7x106 nMSCs/kg * Dose Level 2: 1.43x106 nMSCs/kg * Dose Level 3: 2.85x106 nMSCs/kg Dose escalation will follow 3+3 study design parameters. The next dosing group will be initiated at least one month after the last subject in a particular dose level has received the last dose treatment. Once MTD has been determined, 3 additional patients will be enrolled to ensure a total of 6 patients are enrolled in MTD level for confirmation. Following intravenous delivery of nMSCs, patients will be followed at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year from the last infusion to complete all safety and efficacy assessments.

Primary Outcome Measure

Proportion of participants with freedom from any Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 3 or greater [ Time Frame: End of study, around 12 months post-intervention ]
