About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety of lab-grown heart cells made from stem cells in subjects with congenital heart disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is this product safe to deliver to humans * Is the conduct of this trial feasible

Participants will be asked to:

* Agree to testing and monitoring before and after product administration * Receive investigational product * Agree to lifelong follow-up Researchers will compare subjects from the same pool to see if there is a difference between treated and untreated subjects.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Short term safety

The primary safety endpoint is short term safety defined as the rate of new or worsening serious adverse events (SAE) from any System Organ Class (SOC) within 3 months of the iPSC-CL delivery as compared to the control arm.

Time frame
3 months
2

Feasibility

The primary feasibility endpoint is the percentage of individuals with collected skin cells that meet all iPSC-CL release criteria and the percentage of individuals that have cells delivered.

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Long term safety

Long term safety measured as new or worsening serious adverse events for two years after iPSC-CL delivery as compared to the control arm.

Time frame
2 years
2

Cardiac High Sensitivity Troponin T

Change from baseline in Cardiac High Sensitivity Troponin T at 3 hours (±30 min) and 6 hours (±30 min) after iPSC-CL delivery and at 1 month post-surgery as compared to the control arm.

Time frame
1 month
3

NT-pro-BNP

Change from baseline in NT-pro-BNP levels at 1 and 3 months post iPSC-CL delivery as compared to the control arm.

Time frame
3 months
4

Tumor marker levels

Change from baseline in tumor marker levels (PSA (males only), CA 125, CEA, CA 19-9, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), CA 195, Alpha Subunit HCG) 3 months and annually after iPSC-CL delivery as compared to the control arm.

Time frame
Three months from date of treatment and every 12 months after treatment, assessed up to 15 years
