MUSIC-HFpEF Trial Summary

This trial tests a gene therapy to help people with diastolic heart failure. Participants get a one-time infusion and follow-up for safety and changes in heart function. Long-term follow-up includes yearly in-person visits and biannual phone calls.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with heart failure who still have a good amount of pumping function (ejection fraction ≥ 50%) and symptoms that are not the most severe. They should be able to exercise somewhat, take diuretics, and use birth control if needed. People with severe lung disease, extreme obesity, unstable conditions, major organ dysfunction or specific heart diseases like amyloidosis can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a one-time gene therapy infusion called AAV1/SERCA2a to see if it's safe and can help the heart fill better during relaxation. Participants will receive this treatment in a special lab setting and then be monitored closely for one year with follow-ups over phone calls for four more years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the infusion site or allergic responses due to the body's reaction to the new gene material. Since it involves genetic therapy, there might also be unforeseen risks related to altering genes within heart muscle cells.
