A Research Study Looking Into How Ziltivekimab Works Compared to Placebo in Participants With Heart Failure and Inflammation (ATHENA)
April 4, 2026 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S
Effects of Ziltivekimab Versus Placebo on Heart Failure Symptoms and Physical Function in Patients With Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction and Systemic Inflammation
The study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat participants living with heart failure and inflammation.
Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (inactive substance that looks like the study medicine but does not contain any medicine).
The treatment participants get is decided by chance.
Participant's chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same.
Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world.
It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe.
The study is expected to last for up to 1 year and 4 months.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) clinical summary score (KCCQ-CSS)
Time Frame: From randomisation (month 0) to end-of-treatment (month 12)
|
Measured as score (score on scale; range; 0-100).
The KCCQ is a disease-specific health status instrument composed of 23 items that quantify the domains of physical limitation, symptoms, self-efficacy, social limitation, and health-related quality of life limitation from heart failure.
The overall summary score and all domains have been independently demonstrated to be valid, reliable, and responsive to clinical change.
CSS scores range from 0 to 100 and lower scores represent more severe symptoms and/or limitations and scores of 100 indicate no symptoms, no limitations, and excellent quality of life.

From randomisation (month 0) to end-of-treatment (month 12)

Participants experiencing improvement in New York heart association (NYHA) Class (yes/no)
Time Frame: From randomisation (month 0) to end-of-treatment (month 12)
|
Measured as count of participants.
The New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification provides a simple way of classifying the extent of heart failure (HF).
It classifies patients in one of four categories based on their limitations during physical activity - Class I: Participant with cardiac disease but without resulting limitations of physical activity, Class II: Participants with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity, Class III: Participants with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity, Class IV: Participants with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort.
