Summary

This early-stage study tested whether a gene medicine called VM202 is safe to inject directly into heart muscle areas that couldn't be fully fixed during bypass surgery. Nine adults with ischemic heart disease took part. The main goal was to check for side effects over six months, not to prove the treatment works.
