Eligibility Criteria

Ages
18 to 99 (—)

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1. Subjects with stable CHF (NYHA II-III functional class) on optimal
  • background therapy (as determined by the Investigator) for at least 4 weeks
  • with no dose changes of heart failure drugs during the last 2 weeks (with
  • the exception of diuretics). In general, optimal pharmacological treatment
  • should include a diuretic, a beta-blocker, and/or an angiotensin converting
  • enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker unless contraindicated
  • or not tolerated.
  • 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <=45% (historical value can be used if performed within 3 months of screening start).
  • 3. Exercise limitation as evidenced by reproducible peak VO2
  • 10-18 mL/kg/min during screening. This will be estimated by 2 tests
  • (completed within 4 weeks of each other and at least 3 days between each
  • other) with at least 1 test completed within 4 weeks before baseline visit.
  • Historical peak VO2 test can be used as Test 1 if performed within 4 weeks
  • before screening. The 2 tests must have less than 10% difference in values.
  • If more than 10%, a third test may be performed within 4 weeks and at
  • least 3 days after Test 2. For the baseline test, the respiratory exchange
  • ratio (RER) >=1.0.
  • 4. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) >100 pg/mL and/or N-terminal-pro-BNP
  • (NT-proBNP) >400 pg/mL.
  • 5. Screening ferritin <100 ng/mL OR ferritin 100-300 ng/mL with TSAT
  • 6. At least 18 years of age.
  • 7. Before any study-specific procedure, the appropriate written informed
  • consent must be obtained.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered
  • during dosing.
  • 2. History of acquired iron overload.
  • 3. History of erythropoietin stimulating agent, IV iron therapy, and/or blood
  • transfusion in previous 6 weeks prior to randomisation.
  • 4. Exercise training program(s) in the 3 months prior to screening or planned
  • in the next 6 months.
  • 5. Subject at an immediate need of transfusion or haemoglobin (Hb)
  • 6. Known active bacterial infection.
  • 7. Chronic liver disease and/or screening alanine transaminase or aspartate
  • transaminase above 3 times the upper limit of the normal range.
  • 8. Vitamin B12 and/or serum folate deficiency that requires treatment. Once deficiency corrected subject may be rescreened for inclusion.
  • may be rescreened for inclusion.
  • 9. Known human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency
  • syndrome or active hepatitis B or C.
  • 10. Clinical evidence of current malignancy with exception of basal cell or
  • squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
  • 11. Currently receiving systemic chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
  • 12. Renal dialysis (previous, current or planned within the next 6 months).
  • 13. Unstable angina pectoris as judged by the Investigator; severe valvular or
  • left ventricular outflow obstruction disease needing intervention; atrial
  • fibrillation/flutter with a mean ventricular response rate at rest >100 beats
  • per minute.
  • 14. Acute myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome, transient
  • ischaemic attack or stroke within the last 3 months prior to randomisation.
  • 15. Coronary-artery bypass graft, percutaneous intervention (e.g., cardiac,
  • cerebrovascular, aortic; diagnostic catheters are allowed) or major surgery,
  • including thoracic and cardiac surgery, within the last 3 months prior to
  • randomisation.
  • 16. Subject currently is enrolled in or has not yet completed at least 30 days
  • since ending other investigational device or drug study (ies), or subject is
  • receiving other investigational agent(s).
  • 17. Subject of child-bearing potential who is pregnant (e.g., positive human
  • chorionic gonadotropin test) or is breast feeding.
  • 18. Subject is not using adequate contraceptive precautions during the study
  • and for up to 5 days after the last dose of the study medication.
  • 19. Subject previously randomised to this study. Note: Subjects may be
  • rescreened if they fail any of the screening procedures. If rescreened, all
  • tests must fall inside the maximum specified screening windows for each
  • 20. Subject will not be available for all protocol specified assessments.
  • 21. Subject has any kind of disorder that compromises the ability of the subject
  • to give written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures.
  • 22. Subject with body weight <35 kg.
  • 23. Subject has previously been randomized in FER-CARS-05.
  • 24. Cardio resynchronization therapy device implantation within 6 months prior to screening.
