Tovinontrine for Heart Failure (Cycle-1-REF Trial)

Phase 2
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by Cardurion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Must have
Be older than 18 years old
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up baseline to week 12

Summary

This trial will test if tovinontrine is safe and works well in reducing NT-proBNP levels in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, compared to a placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with chronic heart failure who have a reduced ability of the heart to pump blood (ejection fraction ≤ 40%). Participants must show certain levels of NT-proBNP, a marker indicating heart stress, and have symptoms or signs of heart failure. They should be on stable heart failure medication for at least 4 weeks with no recent changes.
What is being tested?
The study tests Tovinontrine's effectiveness in lowering NT-proBNP levels compared to a placebo in patients with chronic heart failure. The goal is to see if Tovinontrine can improve symptoms by helping the failing heart work better.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants may experience adverse reactions related to Tovinontrine or general issues associated with clinical trials such as injection site reactions, nausea, headaches, or other unforeseen complications.
