i. Administration of intravenous radiographic contrast agent within 72 hours prior to screening or presence of acute contrast induced nephropathy at the time of screening
j. Presence of clinically significant arrhythmia that, in the Investigator’s opinion, is the primary cause of worsening heart failure symptoms, including ventricular tachycardia or bradyarrhythmia with ventricular rate <45 bpm
3. Medications:
a. Use of intravenous nitroprusside or nesiritide within 2 hours prior to randomization
b. Intravenous nitrates (nitroglycerin at a dose > 0.1 mg/kg/hr or equivalent) or any IV nitrates if the patient’s screening systolic blood pressure is < 150 mmHg within 1 hour prior to randomization

d. Use of angiotensin receptor blocking drugs (ARBs) within 7 days of prior to randomization. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are permitted.
e. Use of any investigational medication within 30 days or 5 terminal elimination half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to randomization
f. As determined by the Investigator, clinically significant hypersensitivity or allergy to, or intolerance of, angiotensin receptor blockers
4. Medical history:
a. Major surgery within 8 weeks prior to screening
b. Stroke within 3 months prior to screening
c. eGFR (sMDRD) <20 mL/min/1.73m2 or >75 mL/min/1.73m2 between presentation and randomization
d. Post cardiac or renal transplant
e. Listed for renal transplant or cardiac transplant with anticipated transplant time to transplant < 6 months

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary clinical endpoint is a composite of the following outcomes: (1) time from randomization to death through day 30, (2) time from randomization to heart failure re-hospitalization through day 30, (3) time from randomization to worsening heart failure (WHF, see Section 6.4) through day 5, (4) change in dyspnea VAS score (calculated area under the curve) from baseline through day 5, and (5) length of initial hospital stay (in days) from randomization. The component outcomes will be combined by deriving an average Z for each patient. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy endpoints are (1) The change in dyspnea VAS scores (calculated area under the curve representing the change from baseline over time) from baseline through day 5, and (2) the change in centrally-measured NT-proBNP from baseline to 48 hours. |
