Gene therapy tested as last hope for patients facing amputation

NCT ID NCT00696124

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety of a new gene therapy called VM202 (Engensis) in 12 people with critical limb ischemia, a severe form of poor leg circulation causing pain and ulcers. The goal was to see if injections into the leg muscle were safe and if they might improve blood flow. Participants had no other treatment options and received two injections two weeks apart, with safety monitored for up to five years.
