First-in-Human Pilot Study of Epicardial Circular RNA-HM2002 Injection in CABG for Ischemic Heart Failure

This study is a prospective, single-center, single-dose, open-label investigator-initiated exploratory clinical trial (IIT study) designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential clinical efficacy of the exploratory dose HM2002 injection administered via single-dose, multiple-point injections through the epicardium for the treatment of ischemic heart failure. The study plans to enroll three patients aged between 18 and 80 years who are scheduled to undergo elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and have ischemic heart failure. Eligible patients will become study subjects after providing full written informed consent and successfully passing the inclusion and exclusion criteria screening. The exploratory dose for this trial is 5 mg HM2002 injection. The three subjects will be dosed following the sentinel dosing principle. Specifically, after the first subject completes dosing, there will be a minimum interval of 14 days (2 weeks) to confirm safety and tolerability before enrolling the remaining two subjects. If any serious adverse event (SAE) or dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurs in the first subject, a Safety Review Committee (SRC) meeting will be convened to review all collected safety data. The committee will then determine whether to proceed with the enrollment of subsequent subjects or terminate the trial.
