Safety Study of Cenderitide in Stable Chronic Heart Failure
- Registration Number
- NCT02359227
- Lead Sponsor
- Capricor Inc.
- Brief 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.

Group Intervention Description Cenderitide Cenderitide Cenderitide will be administered as four, 48-hour, continuous, subcutaneous infusion rates of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 ng/kg/min totaling up to eight sequential days of dosing.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of cenderitide as measured in area under the blood concentration-curve (AUC) from time zero to 48 hours post each infusion rate start, maximum blood concentration (Cmax), and time of maximum blood concentration (Tmax). PK blood collection at regular intervals on Days 1-10. Pharmacodynamic (PD) response as assessed by changes in blood pressure, heart rate, weight, fluid balance (intake/output), plasma cGMP, ANP, NT-proBNP, and aldosterone, and urine cGMP compared to pre-dose baseline assessments. PD assessments performed at regular intervals on Days 1-10, and at the safety follow-up visit (Day 16 ± 2 days). Safety and tolerability as assessed by changes in vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature), clinical laboratory tests, adverse events, 12-lead ECGs, and physical examinations compared to pre-dose, baseline measurements. Measurements performed at regular intervals on Days 1-10, and at the safety follow-up visit (Day 16 ± 2 days).
