ADR-002K after CABG for heart failure due to ischemic heart disease
Official title: Exploratory Study of ADR-002K for Heart Failure Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease Who Undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Run by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07192211 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A phase II trial tests ADR-002K, a patient’s own fat-derived stem cells, added to the heart surface during CABG to see if it improves outcomes in people with ischemic heart failure.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with chronic heart failure due to ischemic heart disease undergoing CABG and with LVEF <40% on screening echocardiography.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (<3 months), severe valvular disease, or other exclusion criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study evaluating ADR-002K, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, applied to the heart surface during CABG in patients with ischemic heart disease and reduced heart function. Participants are assigned to ADR-002K or placebo and are followed to a 2-year evaluation to assess safety and efficacy. The trial aims to determine whether ADR-002K can improve postoperative outcomes and long-term heart function. Enrollment targets patients undergoing CABG with ischemic heart failure and an ejection fraction below 40%, with certain cardiovascular exclusions applying. The study is led by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. with The University of Osaka Hospital as the site.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, ADR-002K could improve heart function and outcomes after CABG for patients with ischemic heart disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of adipose-derived stem cells for ischemic heart disease have shown potential signals but results vary; this is a focused Phase II evaluation with a rigorous design.
