About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted autologous immunosuppressive chimeric antigen receptor dendritic cell (iCDC) therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, and to explore its potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for this disease.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years.

Diagnosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy, with at least 3 months of optimized guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) at maximally tolerated doses; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <35%; New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III-IV.

Ability to understand the risks, benefits, and treatment alternatives of immunoregulatory CAR-DC therapy, and willingness to participate in the study; the patient or his/her legally authorized representative must provide written informed consent prior to study enrollment.

Adequate hematologic function defined as: hematocrit >30%, lymphocyte count >0.5 × 10⁹/L, and platelet count >60 × 10⁹/L.

Disqualifiers

Life expectancy <1 year due to non-cardiac conditions.
