Safety and Tolerability of REGN5381, an NPR1 Agonist, in Heart Failure Patients With Elevated Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure
This phase 2 study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN5381, an NPR1 Agonist, in heart failure patients with elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, by observing the incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events.

Summary
Study start date: June 30, 2022
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.

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) ≥15 mmHg and right artrial pressure (RAP) \>5 mmHg on right heart catheterization (RHC) the morning of anticipated study drug dose administration (not applicable for HFrEF participants not taking sacubitril/valsartan \[Group A\] as described in the protocol). 8. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥110 mmHg at the screening visit and on day -1 9. Hematocrit \>30% at the screening visit and day -1 Key Exclusion Criteria: 1.
