Heart Failure

Phase IIb safety and efficacy study of different oral doses of BAY94-8862 in subjects with worsening chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction and either type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without chronic kidney disease or chronic kidney disease alone

Trial purpose

To assess a new drug, BAY94-8862, given orally at different doses, to evaluate whether it was safe and can help the well-being of patients with worsening chronic heart failure and either type II diabetes with or without chronic kidney disease or kidney disease alone. These treatment doses were compared to eplerenone, another marketed drug approved to treat heart failure.

Primary Outcome

  • Percentage of participants with a relative decrease in NT-proBNP of more than 30% from baseline to Day 90
    N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in the blood are used for screening, diagnosis of acute and chronic heart failure (CHF) and may be useful to establish prognosis in heart failure.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Baseline and Day 90

Secondary Outcome

  • Number of Participants With Death due to any Cause
    Death due to any cause include cardiovascular (CV) death and Non-CV death. Non-CV death was classified by 2 subcategories: non-malignant causes and malignant causes.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 and Follow-up (30 days post-last dose, assessed up to Day 120)
  • Number of Participants With Cardiovascular Hospitalization
    Hospitalizations were defined as any unplanned admission to hospital, i.e. completion of hospital admission procedures and one overnight [i.e. date change] stay or until the death of subject occurred. Hospitalizations and deaths were classified by 2 primary categories: CV and non-CV. The pre-specified subcategories for CV hospitalizations were as follows: 1. Worsening heart failure, 2.Acute myocardial infarction, 3. Arrhythmia, 4.Transient ischemic attack and stroke, 5. Other CV hospitalizations.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 and Follow-up (30 days post-last dose, assessed up to Day 120)
  • Number of Participants With Emergency Presentations for Worsening Chronic Heart Failure (WCHF)
    Emergency presentations for WCHF were defined as newly developing signs and symptoms of WCHF after start of treatment with study drug, requiring an additional emergency presentation to hospital and IV treatment with diuretics and/or positive inotropic agents.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 and Follow-up (30 days post-last dose, assessed up to Day 120)
  • Ratio of BNP at specified visits to BNP at baseline
    B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in the blood are used for screening, diagnosis of acute chronic heart failure (CHF) and may be useful to establish prognosis in heart failure.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 30, Day 60, Day 90, Premature discontinuation (only for participants who have discontinued the study prematurely, to be performed as soon as possible after withdrawal of study drug) and Follow-up (30 days post-last dose, assessed up to Day 120)
  • Ratio of NT-proBNP at specified visits to NT-proBNP at baseline
    N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in the blood are used for screening, diagnosis of acute chronic heart failure (CHF) and may be useful to establish prognosis in heart failure.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Day 30, Day 60, Day 90, Premature discontinuation (only for participants who have discontinued the study prematurely, to be performed as soon as possible after withdrawal of study drug) and Follow-up (30 days post-last dose, assessed up to Day 120)
  • Change from Baseline in KCCQ questionnaire scores at specified visits
    The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) was the leading health related quality of life measure for subjects with CHF. KCCQ was a 23 item questionnaire that independently measures the impact of subjects HF, or its treatment, on 7 distinct domains: self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life. KCCQ clinical summary score is a composite assessment of physical limitations and total symptom scores. Results from the total symptom summary score are presented. Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. In the below table, categorical data represents change from baseline data at respective time points.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Baseline, Day 30 and Day 90
  • Change from Baseline in EQ-5D-3L questionnaire scores at specified visits
    EuroQol Group 5-Dimension, 3-Level (EQ-5D-3L): participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. It consists of EQ-5D descriptive system and EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale (VAS). EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems (1), some problems (2), and extreme problems (3). For this population, the possible EQ-5D-3L index scores ranges from -0.11 (that is, 3 for all 5 dimensions) to 1.0 (that is, 1 for all 5 dimensions), where higher scores indicate a better health state.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Baseline, Day 30, Day 90, Premature discontinuation (only for participants who have discontinued the study prematurely, to be performed as soon as possible after withdrawal of study drug) and Follow-up (30 days post-last dose, assessed up to Day 120)
