About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of HJB647 at two different doses in participants with chronic stable heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF/HFmrEF).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Men and women aged 18 years or older

LVEF <50%

NT-proBNP ≥600 pg/ml if in sinus rhythm or ≥900 pg/ml if in atrial fibrillation at screening

Disqualifiers

SBP <105 mmHg at screening or baseline.

Acute coronary syndrome, stroke, transient ischemic attack, cardiac, carotid or other major cardiovascular surgery, PCI, or carotid angioplasty within the 6 months prior to screening

Hemodynamically significant mitral and/or aortic valve disease, or any prior valve replacement, except mitral regurgitation secondary to LV dilation at screening
