A Study of IBI362 in Subjects With HFpEF or HFmrEF Combined With Obesity

Recruiting now · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Obesity, Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFPEF), Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction

In brief

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBI362 in Chinese subjects with heart failure with ejection fraction retention/mild ejection fraction reduction (HFpEF/HFmrEF) combined with obesity (BMI≥28kg/㎡). This study will enroll about 141 NYHA Class II-III HFpEF/HFmrEF subjects combined with obesity. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to IBI362 4 mg, IBI362 6 mg, or placebo at a ratio of 1:1:1, randomized by concomitant atrial fibrillation during screening (history/screening ECG). The trial period includes a 2-week screening period, a 52-week double-blind treatment period, and a 4-week safety follow-up period.

• There were no hospitalizations due to heart failure at screening visit (V1) to randomized visit (V2).
• KCCQ-CSS score < 80 during the screening period and before randomization.
• Medication for chronic diseases: If used before screening, the dose should be stable for ≥4 weeks; If not used before screening, the drug should also be stopped for ≥4 weeks.

Pregnancy test results for fertile women during the screening period must be negative. Female subjects should not breastfeed.
• Voluntarily sign the informed consent form, and be willing to strictly abide by the requirements and restrictions of the informed consent form and the protocol throughout the study period, including but not limited to: maintaining a stable diet and exercise lifestyle, injecting the study drugs as planned, and keeping a study diary.

You may not qualify if…

• myocardial infarction, stroke, or transient ischemic attacks, hospitalization for acute heart failure requiring any ventilatory and circulatory support devices (such as IABP ,I MPELLA, ECMO, CRRT, etc.) within 3 months before screening.
• Unstable angina pectoris or HF decompensation requiring IV diuretics, IV inotropes, or IV vasodilators within 30 days before screening.
