Frequently asked questions about HGF plasmid

What is HGF plasmid used for?

HGF plasmid is an investigational gene therapy being studied for arterial occlusive disease, specifically critical limb ischemia, a severe form of peripheral vascular disease. It is designed to improve perfusion, or blood flow, in patients with this condition, including those with peripheral ischemic ulcers.

How does HGF plasmid work?

HGF plasmid delivers the gene for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) via a plasmid vector. HGF is a protein that promotes angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, which may help restore blood flow to ischemic tissues in patients with arterial occlusive disease.

Who is developing HGF plasmid?

HGF plasmid is being developed by BrainsWay Ltd., a company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker BWAY. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the therapy's safety and efficacy for treating critical limb ischemia.

What phase is HGF plasmid in?

HGF plasmid is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 2 trials have been completed, both of which were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.

What clinical trials is HGF plasmid in?

HGF plasmid has been studied in two completed Phase 2 trials. NCT00060892 enrolled 104 patients with critical limb ischemia, and NCT00189540 enrolled 27 patients with peripheral ischemic ulcers. Both trials were conducted in the United States and included patients aged 40 years and older.

Is HGF plasmid the same as hepatocyte growth factor?

HGF plasmid is a gene therapy that delivers the gene for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) using a plasmid vector. It is not the same as the HGF protein itself, but rather a mechanism to produce HGF within the body to potentially improve blood flow in ischemic limbs.
