Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study in humans with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) treatable by PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous delivery of recombinant granulocyte colony stimulating factor rG-CSF (Filgrastim, Neupogen®, Amgen Switzerland) with regard to the promotion of collateral growth.
