About this trial

The goal of this Phase I Open-Label study is to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of VentriGel injection in children with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Whether VentriGel is safe in treating patients with HLHS * Whether there are any preliminary improvements in measures of cardiac function following Ventrigel injection

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subjects with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) requiring Stage II Glenn operation under one year of age

Disqualifiers

Subjects undergoing the Stage II Glenn operations who do not have HLHS

Subjects requiring mechanical circulatory support within 5 days pre pre-surgical intervention

Parent or guardian unwilling or unable to comply with necessary follow-up(s)

Immunosuppressive diseases or subjects who require treatment with interventions that cause immunosuppression

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Ventrix Bio Extracellular Matrix

    Drug

    VentriGel will be administered by injection into the right ventricle of the heart in the following defined doses per injection. There will be a total of 8 injections. The proposed dose of up to 0.6 mL is administered as up to 8 sequential injections of 4 injections of 0.1 mL each and 4 injections of 0.05 mL each.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of ventricular tachycardia events

Number of sustained/symptomatic ventricular tachycardia incidences requiring intervention with inotropic support or anti-arrhythmics

Time frame
upto 30 days post operation
2

Number of Cardiogenic shock events

Cardiogenic shock (i.e. tissue hypoperfusion presented by hypotension due to decreased cardiac output, determined by rising lactate levels (5x normal levels in first 24 hours, 2.5x normal levels in first 30 days)

Time frame
Day 1, 30 days post operation
3

Number of unplanned cardiovascular operation events

Unplanned cardiovascular operation due to right ventricular intramyocardial injection site bleeding in the first 5 days after Stage II operation decreased cardiac output, determined by rising lactate levels (5x normal levels in first 24 hours, 2.5x normal levels in first 30 days)

Time frame
30 days post operation
4

Number of patients requiring new permanent pacemaker

Number of patients requiring new permanent pacemaker

Time frame
upto 30 days post operation

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in right ventricular ejection fraction

This will be measured by serial echocardiograms and MRI scans

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, 12 months post operation
2

Change in right ventricular end diastolic volume

This will be measured by serial echocardiograms and MRI scans

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, 12 months post operation
3

Change in right ventricular end systolic volume

This will be measured by serial echocardiograms and MRI scans

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months, 12 months post operation
4

Change in tricuspid regurgitation

This will be measured by serial echocardiograms and MRI scans. tricuspid regurgitation measured by tricuspid valve vena contracta width

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months,12 months post operation
