ATLANTA, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corautus Genetics Inc.
(NASDAQ:VEGF) announced today an update of its GENASIS Phase IIb
clinical trial that is evaluating the safety and efficacy of VEGF-2
for the treatment of severe angina resulting from cardiovascular
disease. Corautus expects to complete the enrollment of 404
patients in its Phase IIb GENASIS trial around June 30, 2006.
Corautus had previously projected that it would complete enrollment
by March 31, 2006. To date, 276 patients have been treated in the
trial. "The additional time is primarily attributable to a decrease
in the rate of enrollment which began in December and continued
through January as well as delays in initiating several additional
clinical sites for the study," said Richard E. Otto, President and
Chief Executive Officer. "We are expecting to enroll approximately
30 patients in February and complete enrollment around June 30,
2006. Overall, we and our clinical steering committee are pleased
with the rate of enrollment for GENASIS, which we believe is
presently the largest cardiovascular gene therapy trial being
conducted in the world." Corautus has received a blinded interim
variability analysis of the GENASIS trial data for the first 171
patients treated in the trial. The GENASIS trial size was
determined based on earlier Phase IIa results, to support a
statistically significant determination of the effect of treatment
in achieving the study endpoint. Without unblinding trial data to
anyone involved with the conduct of the trial, independent
biostatistician consultants have reviewed the GENASIS trial's
primary endpoint data and have concluded that the GENASIS trial has
greater than 90% power to demonstrate statistical significance on
the primary endpoint, which is a greater than 60 second difference
in exercise tolerance time between placebo and VEGF-2 with a
two-sided alpha
