Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to establish the safety of autologous progenitor cell-based gene therapy of heNOS in patients with severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension(PAH) refractory to conventional treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a two centre, phase I clinical trial. A total of 18 patients will be studied using an open-label, dose escaling protocol; three patients will be entered into each of the five dosing panels. An additional three patients will be entered into the final dose panel to establish safety at the maximum tolerated dose.
