The ASPIRE study (a randomized, controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ad5FGF-4 using adenosine single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with stable angina pectoris) (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01550614) is a 100-patient, controlled, randomized, multicenter study conducted in six centers in Russia. This trial will assess the therapeutic efficacy of Generx (Ad5-FGF4) using rest and stress SPECT following a one-time, catheter-based administration. Adenovirus-based antianginal therapy represents an interesting option but the difficulties observed in the various trials carried out to date illustrate the complexity of the issue. Large and well-designed studies should be encouraged to provide definitive answers to this important research question.
