Heart Failure Ischemic Heart Disease | Biological: HS-001 CS Device: HS-001-D needle, HS-001-D Adaptor | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a multicenter, open-label, two-group dose-escalation, phase I/II study in 10 severe heart failure patients (five in the low-dose group and five in the high-dose group) with underlying ischemic heart disease.
After screening period is completed, subjects undergo HS-001 CS transplantation. After transplantation, subjects take immunosuppressant and have efficacy/safety assessments.
