Safety Study of Cenderitide in Chronic Stable Heart Failure With Moderate Renal Impairment

A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Escalating, Cross Over Designed Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Open-Label, Continuous Subcutaneous Infusion of Cenderitide Via the Insulet Drug Delivery System in Chronic Stable Heart Failure Subjects With Moderate Renal Impairment

CNDP-578-02 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation, crossover design trial. Eight evaluable subjects (n=8) with chronic stable heart failure and moderate renal impairment will be randomized (1:1) to receive cenderitide or placebo. Enrolled subjects will begin with Infusion Period A where they will receive up to 7 days of continuous, subcutaneous, dose-escalating infusions of cenderitide or placebo via the Insulet Drug Delivery System. Enrolled subjects will then cross over into Infusion Period B where they will receive up to 7 days of continuous, subcutaneous, dose-escalating infusions of cenderitide or placebo.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Willing and able to provide written informed consent after reviewing the design and risks of the study and prior to completing any study-related procedure
• Willing and able to understand and comply with all study procedures and requirements, including in-patient stay
• Current or historical New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class ≥ II
• Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) ≥ 30 and ≤ 60 mL/min at the time of screening

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cenderitide-Placebo; Infusion Period A: Cenderitide Infusion Period B: Placebo This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial. The sequence was either cenderitide crossed over to placebo or placebo crossed over to cenderitide, with the sequence divided into two 7-day infusion periods (Infusion Period A and Infusion Period B).	Drug: Placebo; Placebo control; Drug: Cenderitide; Cenderitide is a dual receptor natriuretic peptide.
Experimental: Placebo-Cenderitide; Infusion Period A: Placebo Infusion Period B: Cenderitide This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial. The sequence was either cenderitide crossed over to placebo or placebo crossed over to cenderitide, with the sequence divided into two 7-day infusion periods (Infusion Period A and Infusion Period B).	Drug: Placebo; Placebo control; Drug: Cenderitide; Cenderitide is a dual receptor natriuretic peptide.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Safety and tolerability as evaluated by incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events, concomitant medications, and changes from baseline in lab assessments, vital signs, physical exams, and ECGs per subject and for the study as a whole.	Evaluated throughout the duration of a subject's participation in the study until 7 days post completion of the final study infusion of cenderitide or placebo.
Pharmacokinetics of cenderitide by assessing Cmax	Pre-dose baseline, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours after the start of the infusion period, and 4 and 24 hours post conclusion of the infusion period.
Pharmacokinetics of cenderitide by assessing tmax	Pre-dose baseline, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours after the start of the infusion period, and 4 and 24 hours post conclusion of the infusion period.
Pharmacokinetics of cenderitide by assessing AUC(0-discharge)	Pre-dose baseline, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours after the start of the infusion period, and 4 and 24 hours post conclusion of the infusion period.
Pharmacodynamics as assessed by observed vital signs and changes from baseline.	Evaluated throughout the duration of a subject's participation in the study until 7 days post completion of the final study infusion of cenderitide or placebo.
Pharmacodynamics as assessed by observed weight and changes from baseline.	Evaluated daily during each infusion period (Days -1 - 9)
Pharmacodynamics as assessed by daily volume difference between liquid intake and urine output (i.e., daily fluid balance) and changes from baseline.	Evaluated daily during each infusion period (Days -1 - 9)
Pharmacodynamics as assessed by observed plasma cystatin C and changes from baseline.	Pre-dose baseline, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours after the start of the infusion period, and 4 and 24 hours post conclusion of the infusion period.
Pharmacodynamics as assessed by observed plasma cGMP and changes from baseline.	Pre-dose baseline, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours after the start of the infusion period, and 4 and 24 hours post conclusion of the infusion period.
Pharmacodynamics as assessed by observed urinary cGMP and changes from baseline.	Evaluated daily during each infusion period (Days -1 - 9)
