Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Allogeneic Mesenchymal Precursor Cells
Participants randomly assigned to treatment will undergo a single index cardiac catheterization involving transendocardial delivery of rexlemestrocel-L into the myocardium at a cell injection center by an interventional cardiology team not involved with review or assessment of subsequent study results.
|
Biological: Allogeneic Mesenchymal Precursor Cells (MPCs)
Rexlemestrocel-L consists of human bone marrow-derived allogeneic MPCs isolated from bone mononuclear cells with anti-STRO-3 antibodies, expanded ex vivo, and cryopreserved

Sham Comparator: Control Treatment
Participants randomly assigned to control treatment will undergo a single cardiac catheterization involving a scripted sham cardiac mapping and cell delivery procedure at a cell injection center by an interventional cardiology team not involved with review or assessment of subsequent study results.
|
Other: Sham Comparator
The sham procedure will be staged to script and will not include actual cardiac mapping or delivery of rexlemestrocel-L. |
