Recruitment Details

Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Enrollment took place at five Network centers and their associated satellite facilities between July 8, 2008 and February 28, 2011. The main centers are located in Ohio, Texas, Florida, Minnesota, and Tennessee. Study brochures, patient informational DVDs, and clinical trials.gov were among the tools used for recruitment.

Show Outcome Measure 1

2. Primary:

Regional Left Ventricular Function (Infarct Zone Wall Motion) [ Time Frame: Measured at Baseline and Month 6 ]

Hide Outcome Measure 2

Measure Type	Primary
Measure Title	Regional Left Ventricular Function (Infarct Zone Wall Motion)
Measure Description	One of two calculated values of regional left ventricular function as assessed via cardiac MRI. The infarct zone is defined as the cMRI segments with the largest 2 signal intensity enhancement measures with gadolinium (using a 17-segment model).Values reported represent the change in wall motion over time in the infarct zone from baseline to six months.
Time Frame	Measured at Baseline and Month 6
Safety Issue	No

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Only participants with both baseline and 6 month MRI images available are included. One patient was excluded from the analysis due to incomplete signal intensity enhancement data. Values reported represent the change in wall motion over time in the infarct zone from baseline to six months.

Limitations and Caveats

Hide Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Lack of in-vivo testing of cell product. While there are several different approaches to measure myocardial strain (myocardial tagging, DENSE, etc.), these were not employed in this study due to the need for specialized expertise at each site.
