Doctors test gene injection to heal damaged hearts during surgery

NCT ID NCT01422772

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety of a new gene therapy called VM202 (Engensis). It was injected directly into the heart muscle of nine patients during their coronary artery bypass surgery, specifically in areas that could not be fully repaired by the surgery itself. The main goal was to see if the injections were safe and to find a tolerable dose, while also checking for any early signs that it might help improve heart function.
