Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of catheter mediated AdVEGF-D regenerative gene transfer in patients with refractory angina to whom revascularization cannot be performed. ;Secondary Objective: The study also investigates the effect of VEGF-D-therapy on myocardial perfusion, patients' symptoms, quality of life and safety of treatment.;Primary end point(s): 1. Improvement of functional capacity using 6-minute walking test 2. Improvement of symptoms assessed by Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. After 6 months follow-up 2. After 6 months follow-up | — |
