Phase 2
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by River 2 Renal Corp.
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Male or female ≥ 18 years of age at screening
Willing to self-administer all SC injections
Must not have
Known hepatic impairment (as evidenced by total bilirubin > 3 mg/dL, or increased ammonia levels, if performed) or history of cirrhosis with evidence of portal hypertension such as varices
Significant, uncorrected, left ventricular outflow obstruction, such as obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or severe aortic stenosis (i.e., aortic valve area < 1.0 cm2 or mean gradient > 40 mmHg on echocardiogram), and/or severe mitral stenosis
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up day 7, day 30

Summary

This trial will test if adding a new medication, R2R01, to the standard treatment for worsening heart failure is safe, well-tolerated, and effective when compared to the standard treatment alone

Who is the study for?
Adults with worsening heart failure who have certain levels of NT-pro-BNP, show at least two symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling, and are on stable heart failure medication. They must be able to self-administer injections and stay in the clinic for 3 days. Exclusions include severe kidney problems, recent major surgery or stroke, specific types of cardiomyopathy, high blood pressure or fast heart rate at screening, low hemoglobin levels, known allergies to R2R01 or serelaxin, liver issues, pregnant/nursing women.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new treatment called R2R01 combined with standard care (SOC) against SOC alone in outpatients with worsening heart failure. The goal is to see if adding R2R01 improves patient outcomes compared to just using the usual treatments for this condition.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, potential side effects may include reactions similar to other medications used in heart failure such as changes in blood pressure and kidney function; allergic reactions; fatigue; dizziness; gastrointestinal disturbances; and possible injection site reactions.
