Therapeutische Angiogenese mittels Gen- und Stammzellentherapie bei der peripheren arteriellen Verschlusskrankheit

Zusammenfassung

Die bisher weltweit größte Angiogenese-Gentherapie-Studie mit 525 Patienten mit kritischer Beinischämie, die mit dem nicht viralen Gen für den Fibroblasten-Wachstumsfaktor 1 (NV1FGF) oder Plazebo behandelt wurden, war bezüglich aller Endpunkte negativ. Aber auch bezüglich einer Stammzellen- bzw. Progenitorzell-Therapie für die periphere arterielle Verschlusskrankheit gibt es augenblicklich noch keine gesicherten Daten, die einen klinischen Benefit belegen. Daten aus großen randomisierten placebokontrollierten Studien stehen noch aus.

Abstract

The world-wide largest angiogenesis gene therapy trial in 525 patients suffering from critical limb ischemia and treated with the non-viral gene construct for fibroblast growth factor (NV1FGF) or placebo was negative for all endpoints. Also, stem cell or progenitor cell therapy did no reveal clinical benefit in patients with peripheral artery disease. Data from large randomized placebo-controlled are still not available.
