Cardiac Angiogenic Gene Therapy Finding New Ways To Heal
The Phase 3 “AFFIRM” clinical study evaluates Gene Biotherapeutics’ lead product candidate, Generx [Ad5FGF-4], as a one-time administration for the treatment of refractory angina due to late-stage coronary artery disease.
Gene Biotherapeutics’ angiogenic gene therapy is designed to improve cardiac perfusion (blood flow) and to increase the supply of oxygenated blood by promoting the growth of microvasculature in ischemic cardiac tissue.
Generx [Ad5FGF-4] is engineered to express secreted human fibroblast growth factor-4 (FGF-4) protein, a key regulator of angiogenesis. Generx is administered by an interventional cardiologist during a brief procedure similar to a diagnostic angiogram.
