Effects of Chimeric Natriuretic Peptide Versus Placebo in Stable Heart Failure and Moderate Renal Dysfunction

June 16, 2014 updated by: John A. Schirger

A Human Physiologic Study to Evaluate the Renal and Neurohumoral Effects of Dual NPR-A and NPR-B Activation With a Novel Chimeric Natriuretic Peptide (CD-NP)in Subjects With Stable Chronic Heart Failure and Moderate Renal Dysfunction

The overall aim is to conduct a human physiologic study to assess the renal and neurohumoral effects of CD-NP vs placebo in older subjects with stable chronic systolic heart failure and moderate renal dysfunction.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

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

The investigators will evaluate the renal and neurohumoral effects of dual receptor (NPR-A and NPR-B) activation with CD-NP. This is a clinically relevant patient population who is at increased risk of developing diuretic resistance during the treatment of HF exacerbations.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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

45 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  • Presence of cardiac lesions or comorbidities that may contraindicate the use of natriuretic peptides, such as clinically significant cardiac valvular stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, primary pulmonary hypertension, or uncorrected congenital heart disease that contraindicates the use of vasodilators.
  • History of blood pressure > 190/115 mmHg or unexplained syncope within the past 3 months.
