Brief Summary:
Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intermittent levosimendan compared with placebo in hemodynamic improvement with exercise in PH-HFpEF subjects
Detailed Description:
Levosimendan and its prolonged active metabolite, OR-1896, have been shown to have favorable hemodynamic effects in subjects with pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. Clinical studies that have been conducted in subjects with right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension suggest levosimendan may be an effective therapy in treatment of subjects with PH-HFpEF. This study will provide demonstration of levosimendan/OR-1896's effectiveness in critical measures of hemodynamic response in weekly administration of levosimendan and the concomitant response as measured by exercise capacity, subject quality of life, and changes in functional capacity. These data will support and guide the Phase 3 development of levosimendan in PH-HFpEF subjects.
