The main objective of the CIRCULATE project is to compare the clinical outcomes of CardioCell administration in treatment of ischemic damages of cardiovascular system with control group, who will receive the placebo.
The CIHF trial will enroll 105 patients with randomization into active and placebo therapy with 2:1 ratio. Additional 5-10 subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive, in a non-blinded fashion, labelled CardioCell to determine the early myocardial uptake and retention of IMP. The primary research question of this project is to check if the administration of CardioCell could improve the clinical outcomes in patients with CIHF. There are several secondary questions, defined by secondary endpoints in each cohort, e.g.: if the investigated treatment is possible to administered, if the investigated treatment and way of CardioCell administration is safe, if it is possible to define any selected subgroup in which the treatment results are significantly different than in whole group.

Patients randomized to the active treatment group will receive transcoronary or trans-bypass graft administration of 30 000 000 cells (suspended in 20 ml of 0.9% NaCl and 5% albumin). Injection will be performed using a dedicated cell delivery catheter. The cell delivery catheter is a typical coronary balloon catheter that is CE marked (1.2x10 mm balloon, RX system) modified to include cell delivery perforations in the balloon section of the catheter. The cell delivery catheter has been demonstrated not to affect cell viability or other cell properties.
Patients randomized to the placebo group will receive Placebos consist 0.9% NaCl and 5% albumin injections (in the same volumes as CardioCell) via the coronary arter(ies)/bypass grafts. The CardioCell and placebo are distributed encoded, in an indistinguishable form.
