Cell therapy improves outcomes for heart failure patients, clinical trial shows
A clinical trial conducted at the University of Louisville has shown for the first time that heart failure treatments using cells derived from the patient s own bone marrow and heart resulted in improved quality of life and reduced major adverse cardiac events for patients after one year.
This is a very important advance in the field of cell therapy and in the management of heart failure. It suggests that a treatment, given only once, can produce long-term beneficial effects on the quality of life and prognosis of these patients. The results pave the way for a larger, Phase 3 trial of cell therapy in heart failure.
