Study Endpoints

Feasibility assessment (the following measures will be reported)
Number and percent of patients who have:
  • Events between randomization and study product injection (SPI) that preclude the procedure

  • Failed bone marrow aspiration procedure

  • Failed endomyocardial biopsy procedure

  • Failed release criteria (including minimum number of cells) for receiving the MSC product

  • Failed release criteria (including minimum number of cells) for receiving the CPC product

  • Less than 15 injections during the SPI procedure

  • At least one cardiac MRI endpoint measure that is uninterpretable due to issues related to the device, including, but not limited to, inability to undergo the procedure


Safety assessment (assessed from baseline to 6 months and from baseline to 12 months)
Major Adverse Cardiac Events (HF MACE)
  • Death

  • Hospitalization for worsening heart failure

  • Exacerbation of heart failure (not requiring hospitalization)

Other Significant Clinical Events
  • Non-fatal stroke

  • Non-fatal myocardial infarction

  • Coronary artery revascularization

  • Ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation

  • Pericardial tamponade

All adverse events at least grade 2 in severity (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events)

Prospectively declared efficacy endpoint measures: (assessed from baseline to 6 months and from baseline to 12 months)
Myocardial Function and Structure (cardiac MRI)
  • Function: Change in LV ejection fraction, global strain, and regional strain

  • Structure: Change in LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volume indices and LV sphericity index

  • Morphology: Change in infarct/scar volume

Functional Capacity
  • Change in VO2 max (treadmill)

  • Change in exercise tolerance (6-minute walk test)

  • Change in MLHF Questionnaire score

Clinical Outcomes
  • MACE

  • Cumulative days alive and out of hospital

Biomarkers
  • Change in NT-proBNP
