Brief Summary: The study is being conducted to examine whether KW-3902IV will result in greater improvement in signs and symptoms of heart failure with less treatment failure than standard therapy when it is added to IV loop diuretics in subjects with acute heart failure syndrome and renal impairment
Detailed Description: Loop diuretics are generally first line therapy in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure syndrome AHFS Their use far exceeds that of vasoactive agents Tubuloglomerular feedback TGF is the bodys compensatory response to avoid excess fluid loss and it is activated when elevated sodium concentrations in the distal tubule are detected TGF is proposed as a contributing factor for the observed diuretic resistance that occurs in patients with heart failure Higher doses of diuretics are required to overcome the decreased natriuresis and reduced RBF induced by TGF Ultimately this action creates a vicious cycle of worsening renal function and diminished diuretic effectiveness

The primary pharmacologic rationale for the use of KW-3902 in subjects with AHFS is its mechanism of action as an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist TGF promotes release of adenosine and adenosine binding to A1 receptors causes vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole decreased RBF and enhanced sodium reabsorption by the proximal tubule This action results in a decrease in GFR diminished renal function and sodium and water retention Blocking adenosine A1 receptors via a selective adenosine receptor antagonist may limit sodium reabsorption by the proximal tubules without triggering TGF It promotes vasodilation of the afferent arteriole of the glomerulus and thus this strategy offers the potential to overcome diuretic resistance or enhance diuretic responsiveness It may also reduce the need for increasing diuretic doses that have been associated with worse outcomes

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of KW-3902IV in addition to intravenous IV loop diuretics such as furosemide on heart failure signs and symptoms renal function and safety in subjects hospitalized with AHFS volume overload and renal impairment and to estimate and compare within-trial medical resource utilization and direct medical costs between patients treated with KW-3902IV versus placebo
