Summary

This trial is testing XC001, a treatment that helps grow new blood vessels in the heart, in patients with severe angina who have no other treatment options. It works by using a gene to produce a protein that promotes new blood vessel growth. Gene therapy for cardiovascular diseases, including the use of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to promote new blood vessel growth, has been explored for many years.
