Summary

This study tested a single intravenous infusion of stem cells (PROCHYMAL) in 220 adults who had their first heart attack within the prior week. The goal was to see if the treatment could safely improve heart function, as measured by MRI scans at 3 months. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the stem cells or a placebo, and the study is now complete.
