NCT ID NCT05925608

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests if stem cells from donated bone marrow can help people with heart failure. The cells are delivered directly into the heart using a special catheter. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can improve heart function, reduce hospital stays, and help patients feel better. The study includes 39 adults with moderate heart failure.

Why investors are watching

BioCardia is running a small Phase I/II trial testing its bone marrow-derived stem cell therapy for people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. The trial uses the company's own delivery catheter to inject the cells into the heart. For a micro-cap company, this readout is a major test of whether its core technology works in patients.

If it works: A positive result could show the therapy improves heart function and validate the delivery catheter, giving BioCardia a stronger case to move into later-stage trials. That could attract partners or funding to keep the program going.

If it fails: The trial is small, with only 39 planned participants, and early-phase studies often fail to show clear benefit. A negative or unclear result could set the program back and put pressure on a company of this size, which depends on this asset.
