Background

Confidential
THE CARDIAMP TRIAL
Intramyocardial Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear
Cell Therapy
q Bone marrow harbors a heterogenous mononuclear cell population
q committed cell populations (endothelial progenitor cells)
q uncommitted hematopoietic progenitor & stem cells, mesenchymal stromal/stem cells and lymphoblasts
q Shown to promote many beneficial effects in ischemic cardiomyopathy
q Believed general mechanism of action is release of proteins (microRNAs, cytokines)

Intramyocardial Autologous Bone Marrow
Mononuclear Cell Therapy
Bone marrow cells support enhancement of microvascular function
§ Preclinical evidence supports
this is achieved via:
1. reduced inflammation
2. reduced oxidative stress
3. reduced cell apoptosis
4. increased angiogenesis
5. limiting reactive fibrosis
and adverse remodeling
§ Autologous bone marrow
mononuclear cells (ABM
MNC) home to heart in injury Behfar, A. et al. (2014) Nat. Rev. Cardiol. 11: 232–246

§ ABM MNC have important cell populations (CD34+, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs))
that have each shown benefit in preclinical/clinical studies for treating the heart.
§ Cells do not turn into heart cells; this underlies clinical safety as new heart cells have a
propensity to trigger life threatening arrhythmias.

Why the CardiAMP (ABM MNC) Cell Therapy Trial?
§ Significant evidence of clinical benefit across
many studies1.
§ Meta-analysis of 1,255 patients (23 studies)
showed evidence of reduced incidence of
mortality and reduced hospitalizations, along
with improved LVEF and quality of life with
autologous cell therapy.
§ Current Phase III trial builds on previous work, including Phase II experience (TAC HFT)
of ABM MNC with enhanced patient selection, cell processing, delivery, and dosing2.

evaluate autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (ABM MNC)
therapy delivered using the CardiAMP Cell Therapy System in subjects
with ischemic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction

• 260 subjects enrolled at up to 40 centers in the US and Canada

Blinding Plan Highlights
Restricted access data may be found in many functional areas and physical locations
where the study operations are executed:
• Access to restricted data controlled at each access point to the greatest extent
possible
• Documents (e.g., source documents, interim reports) which contain restricted
data stored in a restricted access location
• Electronic documents containing restricted data sent to secure, workplace email
addresses:
§ It is the sender's responsibility to ensure that recipients of restricted
electronic correspondence are authorized to receive such data
• EMR access: Procedures in place to ensure minimization of unblinding in EMR
records:
§ The study treatment assignment not be documented in procedure reports
(i.e., randomized arm)
§ Blinded study team members instructed not to review the EMR for labs and
AEs that occurred during the study procedure or through hospital discharge
It is the responsibility of all team members to ensure restricted data is not shared
openly in the workplace.

Breaking the Blind
Planned Unblinding:
• Participating subjects, as well as site and study personnel, unblinded in
accordance with the protocol
• Notification obtained from sponsor of permission to break the blind

Unplanned Unblinding:
• The investigator, BioCardia, or Regulatory Authorities may initiate unplanned
unblinding procedures in the interest of patient safety
• The blinded site staff may also be inadvertently unblinded during the course of
the study

determine if appropriate to conduct test. Contraindicated if resting HR is
>120 bpm, SBP >180 mm Hg and a DBP >100 mm Hg. (consult physician)
• Complete standing assessment of Dyspnea / Fatigue - see Borg Scale
• Instruct patient on walk requirements (see details in SRD-04924)
• Use consistent language and encouragement for each test as (See
suggested script in SRD).
• Conduct two, 6-minute walk tests on the same day
§ A minimum of 1 hour between tests – use clinical judgement
based on assessment of resting heart rate and blood pressure
§ If the difference between the two tests is greater than 10%, conduct a
third test, the best test will be used for analysis

If the subject walks <100 m or >450 m, stop; fails inclusion criterion.

Echocardiography

Yale Echo Core Lab:


• Responsible for training sonographer on Echo Imaging Protocol
• Yale Echo Core Lab interprets results, determines screening eligibility, uploads PDF report
into Medidata Imaging and enters echo data into EDC

Reminders:
The Screening/Baseline echo is performed with contrast and is used for study procedure
planning:
• Prior to procedure the polar map (show wall motion and thickness) is sent to the
Interventional Cardiologist(IC). On Day-0 the BC FCE reviews the polar map and echo with
IC to determine target segments. The segments are determined by myocardial wall

Screening: Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA; SRD-4408)
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, conscious sedation and takes approximately
15 minutes. The clinician draws 5 ml of bone marrow from the iliac crest (hip bone).

- Monitor all patients who have BMA post-procedure per site’s standard of care
- 24-hours after the BMA, call patient for “well-being/health status check”
- Report any AEs associated with BMA procedure and follow until resolved or stabilized

Refer to the SRD 4400 (for shipping instruction) for the blood and BMA samples.

Screening BMA Key Points
The following samples are collected:
§ 5 ml bone marrow aspirated from iliac crest into a syringe
• The sample divided into 3 separate tubes for delivery to 3 labs
§ 5 ml venous blood collected, placed into a green top vacutainer tube
§ FedEx (overnight) samples- email FedEx tracking numbers to BioCardia

Upon receiving sample:


§ BC receives results within 1-2 days of the core lab receiving the sample
§ BC informs site of the subject’s eligibility
§ BC enters eligibility results into EDC
§ Baylor enters cell analysis results in EDC

Rescreening may be performed when technical issues are identified (e.g.,


clotting of sample, activation of cold/heat detectors or suspicion of excessive
peripheral blood contamination)

• Notify your monitor if the devices are relocated to a new
storage location (include the new address with building and

• Your monitor will review the Device Accountability Logs at

• Any device discrepancy will require site reconciliation;
