Safety Study of Cenderitide in Stable Chronic Heart Failure

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-04-02
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Planned enrollment is approximately twelve subjects with stable chronic heart failure. Enrolled subjects will receive up to eight sequential days of continuous, stepwise, dose increasing, subcutaneous (SQ) infusions of open-label cenderitide via the Insulet Drug Delivery System. Planned infusion rates of cenderitide will be administered to subjects continuously during four, 48-hour infusion periods.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• Systolic blood pressure 100-160 mmHg

• Stable and compliant treatment with oral heart failure medications for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening

Key Exclusion Criteria:
