Clinical Trial Summary

This is a pilot, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-part safety and efficacy study. Subjects will consist of patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure with persistent hypotension.

Description:

This is a pilot, multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-part safety and efficacy study. Subjects will consist of males or females 18 to 85 years of age, hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) with persistent hypotension (systolic blood pressure [SBP] 70-100 mmHg for two hours). Part A will dose all subjects for 24 hours with either 1.0 µg/kg/min or placebo; Part B will dose all subjects for 60 hours with two different regimens of istaroxime or placebo. Enrollment of Part A and Part B will be sequential. Up to 30 sites in Part A; up to 15 sites in Part B. Sites may be located in Europe, Asia, South America, and North America.

13. Primary hypertrophic or restrictive cardiomyopathy or systemic illness known to be associated with infiltrative heart disease;

14. Admission for AHF triggered primarily by a correctable etiology such as significant arrhythmia, (inclusive of atrial fibrillation as the main reason for admission), infection, severe anemia, acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), planned admission for device implantation, or over-diuresis as a cause of hypotension;

15. Pericardial constriction or active pericarditis;

16. Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock within the past month or history of sudden death within 6 months;

17. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), ICD, or pacemaker implantation (or planned implantation) within the past 3 months;

18. Sustained ventricular tachycardia in the last 3 months with no defibrillator;

19. Sustained hypotension (SBP < 70 mmHg) for at least 30 minutes from the time of arrival to the hospital;

20. Severe pulmonary disease or cor pulmonale or other causes of isolated right-sided HF or not related to left ventricular dysfunction;

21. Acute respiratory distress syndrome;

22. Suspected sepsis; fever > 38°C or active infection requiring IV antimicrobial treatment;

23. Body weight < 40 kg or = 150 kg;

24. Laboratory exclusions:

1. Hemoglobin < 9 g/dl,

2. Platelet count < 100,000/µl,

3. Serum potassium > 5.3 mmol/l or < 3.5 mmol/l;

25. A life expectancy < 3 months based on the judgment of the investigator;

26. Uncontrolled thyroid disease;

27. Pregnant or breast-feeding;

28. Ongoing drug or alcohol abuse;

29. Participation in another interventional study within the past 30 days.
