Stem cell trial offers hope for cancer survivors with weakened hearts

NCT ID NCT02962661

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether stem cells from donor bone marrow can help improve heart function in cancer survivors who developed heart damage from certain chemotherapy drugs. Researchers will compare two different methods of delivering the stem cells (through an IV or directly into the heart muscle) against standard heart failure care alone. The main goal is to check if the treatments are safe, while also looking for signs they might help the heart pump better.
