CD-NP in Subjects With Stable Chronic Heart Failure (CD-NP)

September 7, 2012 updated by: John A. Schirger, Mayo Clinic

A Human Physiologic Study to Evaluate the Renal and Neurohumoral Effects of a Novel Chimeric Natriuretic Peptide, CD-NP, in Subjects With Stable Chronic Heart Failure

This human physiologic study will evaluate the effects of a new drug called CD-NP in individuals with stable chronic heart failure, with a focus on evaluating responses of the kidneys and the hormonal system.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

CD-NP is a novel chimeric natriuretic peptide which was created by combining the 22 amino acids of human C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and the 15-amino-acid C-terminus of Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP). The rationale for selecting CNP, a natriuretic peptide of endothelial cell origin, is that it exhibits predominantly venodilating effects, which may minimize systemic hypotension. Moreover, its anti-proliferative action is also a highly desirable property for novel cardiovascular drugs. However, a limitation of CNP is that it does not exert significant renal actions, whereas, DNP is potently natriuretic and diuretic. Thus, CD-NP was synthesized with the goal of combining the above complementary profiles of CNP and DNP into a single chimeric peptide.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

21 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All
