About this trial

This is a phase I/IIa study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of HeXell-2020 in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). HeXell-2020 is an investigational drug product consisting of allogenic umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) as the drug substance. All enrolled and eligible subjects will receive HeXell-2020 treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject who is able to understand the nature of this study and accepts to enter the study by signing written informed consent

Male or female who are aged between 18 and 75 years old on date of consent

Patient without LV thrombus or ventricular aneurysm documented by echocardiography at screening

Patient having a diagnosis of CAD caused by ≥ 50% stenosis of at least 1 major or larger epicardial coronary artery (target vessel ≥ 2 mm in diameter without in-stent restenosis) documented by imaging studies within 12 months prior to the date of dosing. If the stenosis results are derived from CCTA, the examination time of CCTA should be at least 6 months prior to screening.

Disqualifiers

Subject had participated in investigational drug trials and took any investigational drugs within 28 days prior to the first treatment.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

Valve repair/replacement

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of TEAE, SAE and SUSAR over the study

To evaluate the number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), suspected and unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) over the study period,

Time frame
Within the first year after cell transplantaion
2

To determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in Phase I study

To determination RP2D, number and proportion of subjects having experienced DLTs will be presented and the RP2D should be determined on the indicated dose at which ≤ 1 patient experiences DLT out of 6 patients who have been DLT evaluated.

Time frame
Within the first year after cell transplantaion
3

Change in myocardial perfusion defect severity under the rest acquisition and pharmacological stress of dipyridamole in Phase IIa study

Measured by SPECT with thallium-201 from baseline. The SRS, SSS and SDS are three variables used to measure cardiac perfusion and ischemia.

Time frame
Before first dosing and at 12 months post cell transplantaion

Secondary outcomes

1

Time to the first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs)

Including AMI, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and hospitalization for unstable angina or revascularization procedures, from the date of the first treatment will be analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
From the date of the first treatment until the first occurrence of MACE, death, or study cut-off point, unless the subject has withdrawn consent for all contacts or is loss of follow-up, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.
2

Change in the evaluation result of CCTA from baseline

The stenosis percent of the different coronary segments, using the 17-segment model.

Time frame
Before first dosing and at 3, 6 months post cell transplantation
3

Change from baseline in echocardiographic measures.

Ventricular remodeling: including LVEF in percentage, global longitudinal strain (GLS) in percentage.

Time frame
Before first dosing and at 3, 6, 12 months post cell transplantation
4

Change in functional class of angina by using CCS angina classification from baseline.

Change in functional class of angina by using CCS angina classification will be summarized descriptively by visit

Time frame
Before first dosing, and 1, 3, 6 , 12 months post cell transplantation
