Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Title:

Description:

Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction


Heart failure is a condition where the heart can’t pump well enough to deliver oxygen to the organs effectively. Ejection fraction is a term used to describe the amount of blood pumped out compared with the total blood the heart can hold. In a healthy heart, 50-70% of blood is ejected with each heartbeat.

We are conducting a clinical research study for people who have heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (<50%). This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of a new investigational drug.

You may be eligible if you:

  • Are between 18 and 80 years old
  • Have heart failure
  • Have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of <50%
  • Have been taking a stable dose of sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto) for at least 4 weeks.
  • Have been taking a stable dose of a beta blocker for at least 4 weeks.
    • Examples of beta blockers:
      • Acebutolol
      • Atenolol (Tenormin)
      • Bisoprolol (Zebeta)
      • Metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL)
      • Nadolol (Corgard)
      • Nebivolol (Bystolic)
      • Propranolol (Inderal, InnoPran XL)

Volunteers must be able to complete multiple overnight stays at our phase 1 clinic for this study. There are additional criteria to meet to qualify for this study. Volunteers who qualify for our study will receive study-related medication and study-related medical exams at no cost, along with a stipend for time and travel. No health insurance is required to participate.
