First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tests whether injecting lab-grown heart muscle cells (HiCM-188) into the heart can help people with severe heart failure (NYHA class III-IV). About 80 adults aged 18-75 with weak hearts (LVEF ≤35%) will receive the cells during bypass surgery. The main goal is to see if they can walk farther in 6 minutes, with other goals including survival and fewer hospitalizations.
