Stem cells injected into heart arteries may help repair damage after a heart attack
NCT ID NCT05724576
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether a single dose of donor stem cells (OmniMSC-AMI) given directly into the heart arteries is safe for people who have just had a major heart attack. The study enrolls adults aged 20–80 with a specific type of heart attack (anterior STEMI) who are treated within 6 hours. Researchers will monitor side effects and measure heart function over time to see if the stem cells might help the heart pump better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OmniMSC-AMI (donor bone marrow stem cells)
- What this could lead to
- If safe and effective, this approach could help repair heart muscle after a heart attack and improve pumping function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small safety trial with only 10 people. It is not designed to prove the treatment works, and stem cell therapies carry risks like inflammation or arrhythmia.
