Apr 21Start of PIII AFFIRM study (NCT02928094) delayed, and is now expected to start Jan 22 and complete collection of primary outcome data in Mar 23 [20].
Aug 20PIII AFFIRM study (NCT02928094) is now expected to start recruiting in Jun 21. 160 adults aged 55 to 75 years will be enrolled (sites not yet stated). Collection of ETT primary outcome data is expected to complete in Jun 22. Angionetics is the sponsor and Huapont Life Sciences a collaborator. Under the terms of their agreement, Angionetic is responsible for the planned US based PIII clinical programme, while the Huapont affiliated entity will be responsible for clinical development, registration and marketing of the drug in China [18,19].

May 15A pooled analysis of interim data from ASPIRE and AGENT trials demonstrated an improvement of 25%, in reversible perfusion defect size, in patients treated with alferminogene tadenovec compared with patients treated with the control (p = 0.005; n = 63) [9].
Mar 15ASPIRE will have enrolled around 780 patients in the US, Canada, South America, Western Europe and Russia and will support submissions for marketing [8]
Mar 12The initiation of the ASPIRE Phase 3 registration study has been announced; a 100 pt, multi-centre RCT conducted at up to six leading cardiology centers in the Russian Federation. Pts with myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery disease will be recruited and the primary efficacy endpoint of the study will be the improvement in reversible perfusion defect size as measured by SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging both at rest and under cardiovascular stress (5).
Feb 12AGENT3 & AGENT4 studies in women showed improvement in ischaemia and overall exercise tolerance (1). Phase III AWARE (Angiogenesis in Women with Angina pectoris who are not candidates for Revascularisation) RCT (n~300 women with recurrent stable angina pectoris who are not candidates for revascularisation and who are receiving optimal treatment). Primary endpoint = improvement in time to onset of ECG changes diagnostic of myocardial ischemia during exercise treadmill testing at six months. (2)
