Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Amputation free survival (AFS) at 12 months post-injection
12 months

The primary objective will be to assess the efficacy of ixmyelocel-T compared to placebo (vehicle control) on AFS at 12 months post-injection in CLI patients with no options for revascularization. Amputation free survival is defined as time to the first occurrence of either major amputation (above the talus) in the index leg or all-cause mortality (death).

The progression of patients with UPenn Stage IIB or IIC disease to a more severe stage based on all available x-ray and MRI imaging. Patients who have a definitive procedure but do not have a valid assessment will be considered to have progressed.
24 months
Average number of clinical events over 12 months post-treatment.
12 Months

The primary endpoint will assess the efficacy of ixmyelocel-T compared to placebo (vehicle control) on the average number of events per patient over 12 months post-treatment in each treatment arm (total number events in each arm/total number of patients in each arm). The events include: all-cause deaths, cardiovascular hospitalizations, and unplanned outpatient or emergency department visits to treat acute decompensated heart failure. The clinical events used in this endpoint will be adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee who are blinded to treatment.

Incidence of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) (MACE defined as: cardiac death, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, sustained ventricular arrhythmias, pulmonary edema, acute heart failure, unstable angina and major bleeding)
Outcome measures will generally be assessed at Baseline, Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12
Safety will be assessed by: post-procedure assessments, physical exam, vital signs, laboratory tests, and adverse events including MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Event) occurrences.
Outcome measures will generally be assessed at baseline, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12
Safety of TRCs in patients with CLI(key safety parameters include vital signs, physical exams, laboratory results, assessment of aspiration and injection sites, adverse events, major amputations, wounds presence(size and grading using the Wagner scale)

PlaceboOTHEROn Day 14, 20 intramuscular injections of vehicle control on pre-identified index leg.
Standard of Care OnlyOTHERCore decompression of the femoral head to remove necrotic tissue
Vehicle ControlOTHERwill receive approximately 12-20 intramyocardial injections of 0.4 mL each of vehicle control into the left ventricle.
Standard of CareOTHERBecause the eligible patients had no other cardiac surgery or percutaneous cardiac interventions that were likely to produce clinical improvement, SOC was limited to pharmacologic therapy, heart transplant, or ventricular assist device therapy.

Frequently asked questions about Ixmyelocel-T

What is Ixmyelocel-T used for?

Ixmyelocel-T is an investigational cell therapy being developed for cardiovascular conditions, including peripheral arterial disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM), osteonecrosis, and critical limb ischemia. It is administered via catheter-based injections directly into the heart or affected tissue. The drug is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.

Who makes Ixmyelocel-T?

Ixmyelocel-T is being developed by Vericel Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol VCEL. Vericel is responsible for the clinical development and manufacturing of this investigational cell therapy for cardiovascular and bone-related conditions.

What phase is Ixmyelocel-T in?

Ixmyelocel-T has completed Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials. The most advanced study, NCT00505219, was a Phase 3 trial for osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Other trials were Phase 2 studies for dilated cardiomyopathy and ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. All trials are completed, and the drug remains investigational.

What clinical trials is Ixmyelocel-T in?

Ixmyelocel-T has been studied in four completed clinical trials. NCT00505219 was a Phase 3 trial for osteonecrosis with 11 patients. NCT00765518 and NCT01020968 were Phase 2 trials for dilated cardiomyopathy with 40 and 22 patients, respectively. NCT01670981 was a Phase 2 trial for ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with 114 patients.

How does Ixmyelocel-T work?

Ixmyelocel-T is a cell therapy derived from a patient's own bone marrow. It is designed to promote tissue repair and regeneration by delivering a mixture of cells, including mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells, to damaged areas. This mechanism aims to improve blood flow and cardiac function in conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy and critical limb ischemia.

Is Ixmyelocel-T the same as Cardiac Repair Cell (CRC)?

Ixmyelocel-T was formerly known as Cardiac Repair Cell (CRC) treatment. Clinical trial titles for NCT00765518 and NCT01020968 refer to it as 'Formerly Cardiac Repair Cell [CRC] Treatment,' indicating the name change. The drug is also referred to as catheter-based cardiac repair cell in some studies.
