Evaluation of Vepoloxamer in Chronic Heart Failure

October 26, 2016 updated by: Mast Therapeutics, Inc.

A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Vepoloxamer Injection, 22.5% (Sodium-Free) in Ambulatory Subjects With Chronic Heart Failure

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether vepoloxamer can provide a blood chemical marker and functional benefit to damaged heart muscle cells. This will be evaluated by measurement of blood-based laboratory markers, exercise tolerance, and echocardiograms. In addition, the safety and blood levels of vepoloxamer in subjects with chronic heart failure will be evaluated.
