About this trial
This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of donor bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in controlling heart failure in patients with cardiomyopathy caused by anthracyclines. Donor bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells may help to control symptoms of heart failure and improve heart function.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with LVEF </= 40% documented from treatment with anthracyclines for any malignancy at any dose at any time without evidence of other causes of cardiomyopathy.
Age >/= 18 and </= 90 years of age. English and non-English speaking patients are eligible.
Documented NYHA class I, II and III.
For patients who have received trastuzumab: Persistent LV dysfunction must be present 90 days after discontinuation of trastuzumab.
Disqualifiers
Evidence of Ischemic Heart Disease as determined by study cardiologist.
Significant Valvular Disease. (AS with AVA <1.5 and severe AR and MR)
History of Familial Cardiomyopathy.
Recent documented myocarditis within 2 months of enrollment.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of adverse events
Statistical analyses of safety will be descriptive.
Change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
The comparison will be between the two groups of patients.
Secondary outcomes
Change in improvement of left ventricular (LV) systolic function as assessed by LVEF
As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between each investigational group and the control group. If both investigation groups are significant at the p \< .05 level, then the two investigational drugs can be compared using a gatekeeping procedure. These intervals and the associated p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.
LV end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes as determined by contrast-enhanced 2-dimensional(D)/3D echography
As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between each investigational group and the control group. If both investigation groups are significant at the p \< .05 level, then the two investigational drugs can be compared using a gatekeeping procedure. These intervals and the associated p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.
Cardiac death
As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between each investigational group and the control group. If both investigation groups are significant at the p \< .05 level, then the two investigational drugs can be compared using a gatekeeping procedure. These intervals and the associated p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.
Re-hospitalization after heart failure
As regards statistical analyses, the results of the trial will be displayed in table format. Will provide confidence intervals of the differences in change from baseline between each investigational group and the control group. If both investigation groups are significant at the p \< .05 level, then the two investigational drugs can be compared using a gatekeeping procedure. These intervals and the associated p-values will be calculated using two-sample t-tests, with no adjustments for multiple comparisons.
