Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
|
Inclusion criteria: -Men or women 18 years of age or older -Hospitalized for the management of ADHF or diagnosed with ADHF within 48 hours after being hospitalized for another reason
The diagnosis of ADHF must meet the following definition: –Dyspnea at rest or dyspnea with minimal activity (i.e., difficulty breathing at rest while sitting, or difficulty breathing while lying flat or with 1 pillow, or difficulty breathing with minimal activity such as talking, eating); dyspnea should be present at randomization AND – At least 1 of the following signs: – Tachypnea with respiratory rate =20 breaths per minute, OR – Pulmonary congestion/edema with rales or crackles/crepitations at least one-third above lung base, AND – At least 1 of the following objective measures: – Chest x-ray with pulmonary congestion/edema, OR – B-type natriuretic peptide =400 pg/mL or NT-proBNP =1,000 pg/mL at presentation, OR – Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure >20 mmHg, OR – Ejection fraction <40% measured by any modality (echocardiography, nuclear testing, cardiac MRI, ventricular angiography) within 12 months before randomization without intervening revascularization or cardiac surgery
-Signed informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.
-Signed informed consent form for pharmacogenomic research indicating consent or refusal to participate in the pharmacogenomic component of the study (where local regulations permit). Participation in this component is not required for participation in the clinical study. The pharmacogenomic informed consent can be signed through Day 30.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria: Hospitalized for =48 hours before randomization Likely to be discharged from the hospital in 24 hours or less Subjects whom due to an official or court directive have been accomodated in an institution At high risk for hypotension: Persistent baseline SBP <100 mmHg or Systolic blood pressure <110 mmHg with i.v. nitroglycerin or another i.v. vasodilator used at baseline Persistent, uncontrolled hypertension (SBP >180 mmHg)
Have any of the following cardiovascular disease parameters: Electrocardiogram (ECG) with new ST elevation >1 mm in 2 consecutive leads Acute coronary syndrome as primary diagnosis A coronary catheterization or other coronary intervention is planned within 48 hours for suspected acute coronary syndrome Hemodynamically significant cardiac valvular stenosis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, or pericardial tamponade Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure =20 mmHg, within 6 hours before randomization (only if measured) Have a ventricular assist device Medication History: Received first i.v. treatment of diuretics, vasodilators or inotropes for HF more than 24 hours before randomization Treated with levosimendan or milrinone within 30 days before randomization or anticipated need for one of these medications during the current hospitalization Treated with i.v. vasoactive medication (i.e. nitroglycerin, dobutamine) where the dosage is not stable for 3 hours before randomization Treated with dobutamine =5 mg/kg/min. at the time of randomization Had prior therapy with nesiritide in the past 30 days, or anticipate the need for open-label nesiritide during the current hospitalization Known allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to nesiritide Laboratory abnormalities (when laboratory values are available) Troponin level >5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) Creatine kinase - MB (CK-MB) levels >3 times ULN BNP or NT-proBNP is within normal limits (i.e., BNP <100 pg/mL or NT-proBNP <125 pg/mL for subjects <75 years old; NT proBNP <425 pg/mL for subjects =75 years old) Anemia, defined as hemoglobin <9 g/dL (<5.6 mmol/L) or hematocrit <27% Comorbid Diseases Chronic or intermittent renal support therapy (hemodialysis, ultrafiltration, or peritoneal dialysis) Severe chronic or acute lung disease that might interfere with the ability to interpret the dyspnea assessments (e.g., severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, active asthma or acute pneumonia) Serious comorbid noncardiovascular disease in which the life expectancy of the subject is less than 6 months – e.g., acute systemic infection – sepsis, metastatic cancer or other serious illnesses Active gastrointestinal bleeding Received an experimental drug or used an experimental medical device within 30 days before randomization Previous enrollment in a nesiritide study Pregnant, suspected to be pregnant, or breast-feeding Unwillingness or inability to comply with study requirements (including subjects whose cooperation is doubtful due to drug abuse or alcohol dependency)

|
Primary Outcome(s)
|
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with nesiritide improves patient outcomes (as measured by reduction in the composite of HF rehospitalization and all-cause mortality through 30 days after randomization [Day 30]) or HF symptoms (as measured by subject self assessed Likert dyspnea scale at 6 hours and 24 hours after study drug initiation) compared with placebo when each is administered in addition to other standard therapies in patients with ADHF.
|
Primary end point(s): Primary Hypotheses: The study has two co-primary hypotheses: · Nesiritide administered in addition to standard care is superior to placebo administered in addition to standard care in the reduction of the composite endpoint of HF rehospitalization and all-cause mortality from randomization through Day 30 in subjects with ADHF, and · Nesiritide administered in addition to standard care is superior to placebo administered in addition to standard care in relieving dyspnea symptoms, as measured by self-assessed Likert scale at 6 or 24 hours after study drug initiation, in subjects with ADHF.
|
Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of treatment with nesiritide, compared with placebo, when each is administered in addition to standard care in ADHF, in: (1) Improving subject self-assessed overall well-being as measured by self assessed Likert scale at 6 or 24 hours after study drug initiation (2) Reducing the composite of persistent or worsening heart failure and all-cause mortality from randomization through index hospitalization (3) Increasing the number of days alive and outside the hospital from randomization through Day 30· (4) Reducing the composite of cardiovascular rehospitalization and cardiovascular mortality from randomization through Day 30
