Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This is a study about a drug called REGN5381, which is an NPR1 Agonist. The main goal is to see how safe and well-tolerated it is in patients with heart failure who have increased pressure in the pulmonary capillary wedge, a part of the heart. This study is important as it aims to find a new treatment option that could potentially improve care for individuals with this specific heart condition. Note that one group has stopped enrolling participants and another group will not enroll any. During this study, participants receive either REGN5381 or a placebo, a substance that has no therapeutic effect, in single ascending doses. The study measures the results by looking at any adverse events that occur during the treatment. The primary focus is on the incidence and severity of these treatment-emergent adverse events, which helps to understand the safety and tolerability of the drug.

Design Details

59 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.
