About this trial

It is believed that targeted SERCA2a enzyme replacement in HFrEF patients will correct defective intracellular Ca2+ hemostasis, resulting in improved cardiac contractile function and energetics which will, in turn, translate to improved clinical outcomes. Additionally, it is hypothesized that correcting SERCA2a dysfunction will also improve coronary blood flow through correction of the impaired endothelium-dependent nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatation observed in heart failure.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Chronic ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy

NYHA class III/IV

LVEF ≤35%

Guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure; ICD

Disqualifiers

Restrictive cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, acute myocarditis, pericardial disease, amyloidosis, infiltrative cardiomyopathy, uncorrected thyroid disease or discrete left ventricular (LV) aneurysm

Prior heart transplantation, left ventricular reduction surgery (LVRS), cardiomyoplasty, passive restraint device (e.g., CorCap™ Cardiac Support Device), mechanical circulatory support device (MCSD) or cardiac shunt

Likely to receive cardiac resynchronization therapy, cardiomyoplasty, LVRS, conventional revascularization procedure or valvular repair in the 6 months following treatment

Likely need for an immediate heart transplant or MCSD implant due to hemodynamic instability
