Study Summary

This trial is testing a new gene therapy to see if it can help people with severe Angina Pectoris by directly injecting it into their heart.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for severe angina patients who haven't improved with standard treatments, can consent to the study, and have areas of reversible heart muscle ischemia. They must experience angina during an exercise test but cannot be candidates for other heart procedures or part of another study within 30 days.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial aims to find the best dose of a gene therapy called pVGI.1(VEGF2) given through an experimental injection catheter system (Stiletto™) to help those with serious chest pain from angina.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed in the provided information, but as with any gene therapy and invasive procedure, there could be risks such as infection at the injection site, immune reactions to the therapy, or complications from catheter use.
