The CHILD Trial: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Study.
Purpose
The objectives of this pilot study are to evaluate the feasibility and safety of intramyocardial injection of autologous c-kit+ cells during the Stage II BDCPA operation and to observe effects on clinical outcome including right ventricular myocardial function, severity of tricuspid regurgitation, incidence of serious adverse events, re-hospitalizations, changes in health status, the need for transplantation, or mortality.

Arm Groups
Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
---|---|---|
Experimental Open label C-kit+ cells Group A |
Group A is an open-label treatment group determining safety and feasibility. Participants enrolled in this group will be receiving previously harvested c-kit+ cells during their Stage II BDCPA operation. Harvested c-kit+ cells will be injected into the right ventricle directly intramyocardially. |
|
Active Comparator C-kit+ cells Group B |
Participants randomized to Group B Treatment Group will receive previously harvested c-kit+ cells during their Stage II BDCPA operation. Harvested c-kit+ cells will be injected into the right ventricle directly intramyocardially. |
|
No Intervention No Intervention Group |
Participants randomized to Group B Control Group will receive only their standard of care (SOC) Stage II BDCPA operation without the injection of harvested c-kit+ cells. |
