This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of donor bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in controlling heart failure in patients with cardiomyopathy caused by anthracyclines. Donor bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells may help to control symptoms of heart failure and improve heart function.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To demonstrate the safety of allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) administered by intravenous infusion and transendocardial injection in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure secondary to chemotherapy with anthracyclines. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To demonstrate the efficacy of allogeneic hMSCs administered by intravenous infusion and transendocardial injection in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction \[LVEF\] \< 40%) and heart failure secondary to treatment with anthracyclines. OUTLINE: Pat…
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with LVEF \</= 40% documented from treatment with anthracyclines for any malignancy at any dose at any time without evidence of other causes of cardiomyopathy. 2. Age \>/= 18 and \</= 90 years of age. English and non-English speaking patients are eligible. 3. Documented NYHA class I, II and III. 4. For patients who have received trastuzumab: Persistent LV dysfunction must be present 90 days after discontinuation of trastuzumab. 5. Able to perform 6 minute walk test. 6. Been treated with appropriate maximal medical therapy for heart failure. 7. Patient or legall…
