Study of the Survival of Recombinant Human Neuregulin-1β in Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) Patients

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Chronic Heart Failure
Interventions
Drug: rhNRG-1
Drug: placebo
Registration Number
NCT01131637
Lead Sponsor
Zensun Sci. & Tech. Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of rhNRG-1 in reducing the death rate of heart failure.

Detailed Description

The mortality of chronic heart failure patients remains high, in spite of recent treatment. RhNRG-1(recombinant human neuregulin-1)directly work on the cardiomyocyte and restored the normal structure and function of it. Both the preclinical trial and phase II clinical trail have confirmed that rhNRG-1 effectively enhance the heart function and reverse the remodeling of left ventricular in heart failure animals and humans. In this study, we will evaluate efficacy of rhNRG-1 in reducing the death rate of heart failure.

  18. Evidence (physical examination,CXR,ECHO or other tests) shows some active malignancy or adenoidal hypertrophy or neoplasm has effect on heart function or endocrine system, eg pheochromocytoma or hyperthyroidism.
  19. Judging by the investigator, the patients could not complete the study or adhere to the study requirements (due to the management reasons or others).
