About this trial

This clinical study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of HiCM-188, an investigational allogeneic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocyte therapy, in adults with advanced heart failure who are undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

Participants who meet the study eligibility criteria will receive a single dose intramyocardial injection of HiCM-188 during CABG surgery. The study will evaluate two dose levels of HiCM-188 using an open-label dose-escalation design. Participants will be followed for up to 12 months after treatment to monitor safety and preliminary signs of clinical effect.
