To find the optimal dose of BAY 1021189 for Phase III that can be given in addition to standard diuretic and comorbidity treatment by characterizing the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic effects, and pharmacokinetics, and detecting a significant dose-response relationship in the primary endpoint change in NT-proBNP at 12 weeks in patients with worsening chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. |
Individuare la dose ottimale dello stimolatore orale solubile della guanilato-ciclasi (sGC) BAY 1021189 per la Fase III che possa essere somministrato in aggiunta alla terapia standard per l’insufficienza cardiaca con ridotta frazione di eiezione, caratterizzandone la sicurezza, la tollerabilità, gli effetti farmacodinamici e la farmacocinetica, e per identificare un rapporto dose-risposta significativo per l’endpoint primario, cioè la variazione del N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) a 12 settimane in pazienti con peggioramento dell’insufficienza cardiaca cronica con frazione di eiezione ridotta (HFrEF) |
