Summary

This trial is testing a new medication called AZD4831 to see if it can help people with a certain type of heart failure. The study will include people whose hearts pump less efficiently but still have some function left. Researchers want to find out if this medication can improve how well their hearts work and make them feel better.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 40-85 with stable heart failure, not recently worsened, who can walk a bit but not too far and have a left ventricular ejection fraction over 40%. They should be of non-childbearing potential and have a body mass index between 18.0 to 45.0 kg/m2. Excluded are those with severe kidney issues, very low or high blood pressure or heart rate, short life expectancy due to other diseases, allergies to drugs, conditions affecting exercise ability, recent heart problems or certain blood levels outside the normal range.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing AZD4831 against a placebo in people with specific types of heart failure. It's split into two parts: Part A (660 participants) and Part B (820 participants), each lasting up to 48 weeks. The study aims to see if AZD4831 is effective and safe for these patients by comparing it blindly—neither doctors nor patients know who gets the real drug.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects for AZD4831 aren't specified here, common side effects in trials like this may include nausea, headache, dizziness or fatigue. Since it's being tested on heart failure patients specifically, monitoring for worsening symptoms related to their condition would also be important.

Other Research
Common treatments for heart failure include ACE inhibitors, which relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure; beta-blockers, which slow the heart rate and reduce the heart's workload; diuretics, which help remove excess fluid from the body; and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, which block the effects of aldosterone to reduce fluid retention and improve heart function. These treatments are essential for managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and reducing hospitalizations in heart failure patients. The trial AZD4831 is investigating a new treatment for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which may offer additional benefits by targeting specific pathways involved in heart failure.
