Summary

This trial is testing a single dose of a drug to see if it can help people with heart failure symptoms.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and NYHA Class III heart failure symptoms, who can walk more than 50 meters. They must have a left ventricular ejection fraction of 15-35%, be on stable heart medications, and if applicable, use reliable contraception. Excluded are those with recent severe heart issues, other serious health conditions or treatments that could interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing AB-1002's safety and effectiveness for heart failure when given through an artery in the heart. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive either AB-1002 or a placebo in equal ratios.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified but may include typical risks associated with gene therapy such as immune reactions, infusion-related responses, or complications from the delivery method into the coronary artery.
