Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study has been designed as a randomized, double blinded, multi centric, placebo controlled, single dose, Phase I/II study assessing the safety and efficacy of intravenous ex vivo cultured adult allogenic mesenchymal stem cells in patients with STEMI after 2 days of PCI. A total of 20 patients will be recruited in this study based on inclusion/exclusion criteria and will be randomized into either treatment or control group The control group will receive standard protocol of care (POC)* along with Plasmalyte injection (placebo) administered intravenously, whereas the treatment group will receive a single dose of 2 million cells per Kg body weight allogenic MSCs administered intravenously (IV) along with standard POC. Patients will be evaluated at 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months for safety and efficacy parameters. A clinical study report will be generated and submitted to the regulatory authorities after 6 months. Additional evaluation will be undertaken 1 year and 2 years after the treatment for safety parameters.
