Full text not available from this repository.Patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI) unsuitable for revascularisation have a high rate of amputation and mortality (30% and 25% at 1 year, respectively). Localised gene therapy using plasmid DNA encoding acidic fibroblast growth factor (NV1FGF, riferminogene pecaplasmid) has showed an increased amputation-free survival in a phase II trial. This article provides the rationale, design and baseline characteristics of CLI patients enrolled in the pivotal phase III trial (EFC6145/TAMARIS).
