| Summary | This clinical trial investigates the safety and preliminary effectiveness of YAP101, a gene therapy designed to improve heart function in adults with ischemic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Ischemic heart failure, often resulting from a prior heart attack, leads to poor heart function and quality of life. Current treatments are limited, and there is an urgent need for new therapies. YAP101 works by delivering a gene therapy using a specialized vector to heart cells, targeting a pathway involved in heart repair. By temporarily activating heart muscle regeneration, YAP101 aims to restore damaged tissue, reduce scarring, and improve the heart's pumping ability. The study will enroll participants who will receive a one-time dose of YAP101 via a minimally invasive cardiac |
| Who can participate | Inclusion Criteria: To participate, a subject MUST: 1. Be ≥ 18 and \< 80 years of age; 2. Have medically stable heart failure of ischemic etiology, secondary to MI with NYHA class II or III symptoms for at least 12 months before the initiation of screening procedures; 3. Have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 20% and ≤ 40% by cMRI at screening and baseline; 4. The subject is not a candidate for either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery as determined by the principal investigator (or designee) in consultation with an interventional cardiologist during the screening period; 5. Be on stable, outpatient, maximally tolerated guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) for HF for 6 weeks, unless contraindicated, and remain stable dur |
