CALM-AF-AI: Counteracting Age-related Loss of Muscle With AAV-Follistatin Combined With Angiogenesis-Inducing VEGF Plasmid Gene Therapy
Bu çalışma, yaşa bağlı kas kaybını azaltmak amacıyla AAV9-Follistatin gen terapisi ile damar oluşumunu (anjiyogenez) destekleyen VEGF plazmid gen terapisini birlikte inceleyen bir gen terapisi çalışmasıdır. Yaşa bağlı fiziksel gerileme ya da hareketsiz yaşam belirtileri olan, 45-75 yaş arası ve belirli sağlık ölçütlerini karşılayan kadın ve erkekler katılabilmektedir. Çalışma Faz 1/Faz 2 aşamasında yürütülmektedir ve halen katılımcı almaktadır.
