About this trial

This clinical study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of HiCM-188, an investigational allogeneic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocyte therapy, in adults with advanced heart failure who are undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

Participants who meet the study eligibility criteria will receive a single dose intramyocardial injection of HiCM-188 during CABG surgery. The study will evaluate two dose levels of HiCM-188 using an open-label dose-escalation design. Participants will be followed for up to 12 months after treatment to monitor safety and preliminary signs of clinical effect.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Serious Adverse Events

Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) at 12 months post-transplant

Time frame
Up to 12 months post-transplant

Secondary outcomes

1

Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction by Cardiac MRI

Change from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, %) assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Echocardiogram may be used as an alternative if cardiac MRI is not medically appropriate or per institutional practice.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months
2

Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Volume by Cardiac MRI

Change from baseline in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV, mL) assessed by cardiac MRI. Echocardiogram may be used as an alternative if cardiac MRI is not medically appropriate or per institutional practice.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months
3

Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular End-Systolic Volume by Cardiac MRI

Change from baseline in left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV, mL) assessed by cardiac MRI. Echocardiogram may be used as an alternative if cardiac MRI is not medically appropriate or per institutional practice.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months
4

Change From Baseline in Infarct Size by Cardiac MRI

Change from baseline in myocardial infarct size assessed by cardiac MRI.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months
