💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Ischemic cardiomyopathy occurs when the heart muscle is permanently weakened due to blocked coronary arteries that limit blood flow. Current treatments, including medications and lifestyle changes, can manage symptoms but cannot restore the damaged heart muscle.
Stem cell therapy offers a promising approach to repair and regenerate damaged heart tissue. This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of HB1011 - an allogeneic myocardium-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy - in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who are undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. HB1011 will be injected directly into the damaged heart muscle during the CABG procedure. Participants will receive different doses of HB1011, starting from a lower dose and gradually increasing, to identify the safest and most appropriate dose for future studies.
