Frequently asked questions about Autologous cell therapy

What is Autologous cell therapy used for in Heart Failure, Systolic?

Autologous cell therapy is an investigational treatment being studied for systolic heart failure. It is a cell-based therapy derived from the patient's own cells, developed by BioCardia, Inc. The therapy is currently in Phase 3 clinical development, meaning it is still being tested and is not yet approved for commercial use.

What does Autologous cell therapy target?

Autologous cell therapy does not target a specific molecular target. Instead, it is a cell-based therapy that uses the patient's own cells to potentially treat systolic heart failure. The exact mechanism of action is not specified, but it is being investigated for its potential to improve heart function in patients with this condition.

Who makes Autologous cell therapy?

Autologous cell therapy is being developed by BioCardia, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company. BioCardia is publicly traded under the ticker symbol BCDA. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this cell therapy for the treatment of systolic heart failure.

What phase is Autologous cell therapy in?

Autologous cell therapy is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. This is the final phase of testing before potential regulatory approval. The therapy is being studied for the treatment of systolic heart failure, and it is important to note that it is still investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Autologous cell therapy in?

Autologous cell therapy has been studied in one clinical trial, identified by the NCT number NCT02438306. This trial, titled 'CardiAMP™ Cell Therapy for Heart Failure Trial,' was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study that enrolled 125 patients with systolic heart failure. The trial was conducted in the United States and Canada and has been completed.

Is Autologous cell therapy the same as CardiAMP?

Autologous cell therapy is the investigational treatment being evaluated in the CardiAMP™ Cell Therapy for Heart Failure Trial. The trial, with NCT number NCT02438306, is a Phase 3 study that has been completed. The therapy is being developed by BioCardia, Inc. for the treatment of systolic heart failure.
