Abstract: | Therapeutic angiogenesis using angiogenic growth factors is expected to be a new treatment of patients with severe ischemic diseases. Indeed, human gene therapy for peripheral arterial disease(PAD) using VEGF gene demonstrated the beneficial effects. In contrast, we have reported the potent angiogenic activity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in animal study and we planned gene therapy for ASO and Buerger disease using HGF gene (TREAT-HGF). In a prospective, open-labeled clinical trial, we investigated the safety and biological efficiency of this gene therapy in patients with peripheral arterial disease(PAD) who had failed conventional therapy. |
