Acute Myocardial Infarction – The APOLLO Trial
APOLLO TRIAL• Prospective European Multicenter Trial
• Randomized (3:1)
• Double Blind
• Placebo controlled
• Blinded independent core labs
• Safety & Feasibility Trial
• n = 14 (4 placebo, 10 treated)
• Co-Principal Investigators: Drs. H.J. Duckers
and P.W. Serruys
Perfusion defect in LAD territory:
Reduction in perfusion defect in patients treated with ADRC compared
to placebo patients as analyzed by MIBI SPECT (TSS scores)

APOLLO: Arrhythmias
More ventricular arrhythmias observed in Control patients
More Significant Ventricular Arrhythmias in control patients
Higher frequency of recordings with Ventricular Premature Bits (VPB) in Controls
Higher number of VPBs per recording

APOLLO: Summary
ADRCs are safe in the treatment of STEMI No safety concerns
Cell administration is safe
No new MACE/SAEs
No Deaths
Feasibility Concordant improvement in infarct and ischemia:
Mean reduction in Infarct Size is maintained to 18 months
Improvement in cardiac perfusion is maintained to 18 months
May have positive impact on arrhythmia in cell-treatment patents
Cytori Cardiac Program: Present and Future
Celution™ System is CE Marked in the EU
Acute Myocardial Infarction:
• European APOLLO Trial – completing 36-mo FU• Pivotal European ADVANCE Trial – ramping up
• US trial in AMI – to follow ADVANCE
Chronic Myocardial Ischemia:• European PRECISE Trial – completing 36-mo FU
• US ATHENA Trial – IDE filed
AMI - THE ADVANCE TRIAL
• Primary endpoint: cMRI infarct size at 6 months
• Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled
• N ≤ 360, at up to 35 sites in the EU
• 23 sites selected & committed
• Various states of regulatory process by country
• Co-PIs Drs. H.J. Duckers and G. Pompilio
• Independent blinded core labs will evaluate all imaging data
• Independent DMC provides safety oversight
• Independent CEC will adjudicate all germane events
• Currently enrolling & treating patients
18-mo data from Apollo support trial design for ADVANCE
