Summary

This trial tests two drugs, Sacubatril/Valsartan and MANP, in people with a challenging type of heart failure and kidney disease. Sacubatril/Valsartan helps relax blood vessels, while MANP may help the heart and kidneys by removing extra salt and water. The goal is to see if these treatments can improve symptoms and heart function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with heart failure that still have a normal amount of blood pumped from the heart (HFpEF) and also have chronic kidney disease, but not diabetes or severe obesity. They must be on stable diuretic medication and have certain levels of kidney function and symptoms according to NYHA class.
What is being tested?
The study tests two drugs: Sacubitril/Valsartan (Entresto) and MANP, against placebos to see how they affect people with HFpEF-CKD who get short of breath during exercise without signs of fluid retention. Participants will receive either one drug or placebo through oral or injection routes.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include changes in blood pressure, kidney function alterations, electrolyte imbalances like low sodium or potassium levels, dizziness due to low blood pressure, allergic reactions if sensitive to ingredients such as iodine.

Trial Design

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: HFpEF-EI with Sacbitril/Valsartan with an injected placeboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects with with HFpEF with exercise induced dyspnea (difficult or labored breathing) without clinical symptoms at rest (e.g. peripheral edema, weight gain, and abdominal distention) will receive study drug Sacbitril/Valsartan and an injected placebo followed by a 1 week washout period.
Group II: HFpEF-EI with MANP and oral placeboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects with with HFpEF with exercise induced dyspnea (difficult or labored breathing) without clinical symptoms at rest (e.g. peripheral edema, weight gain, and abdominal distention) will receive study drug MANP and an oral placebo followed by a 1 week washout period.
Group III: HFpEF-CKD with Sacbitril/Valsartan with an injected placeboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects with with HFpEF volume overload in the presence of chronic kidney diseases and clinical symptoms at rest (e.g. peripheral edema, weight gain, and abdominal distention) will receive study drug Sacbitril/Valsartan and an injected placebo followed by a 1 week washout period.
Group IV: HFpEF-CKD with MANP and oral placeboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects with with HFpEF volume overload in the presence of chronic kidney diseases and clinical symptoms at rest (e.g. peripheral edema, weight gain, and abdominal distention) will receive study drug MANP and an oral placebo followed by a 1 week washout period.
Group V: HFpEF-EI with an oral and injected placeboPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Subjects with with HFpEF with exercise induced dyspnea (difficult or labored breathing) without clinical symptoms at rest (e.g. peripheral edema, weight gain, and abdominal distention) will receive an oral and injected placebo followed by a 1 week washout period.

Mechanism Of Action

Other Research
Common treatments for Heart Failure (HF) like Sacubatril/Valsartan and MANP work by enhancing natriuresis, diuresis, and vasodilation. Sacubatril/Valsartan combines neprilysin inhibition, which increases natriuretic peptides, and angiotensin II receptor blockade, which prevents vasoconstriction and cardiac remodeling. MANP also promotes natriuresis, diuresis, and vasodilation. These mechanisms help reduce fluid overload, lower blood pressure, and improve cardiac function, which are essential for managing HF symptoms and reducing hospitalizations and mortality.
