Abstract
This first-in-human, phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, and exploratory efficacy of a selective ErbB4 agonist, JK07, in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In these patients on optimal goal-directed medical therapy, JK07 was generally safe and well tolerated at dose levels up to 0.09 mg/kg. There was a trend toward increased incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events observed at the highest dose of 0.27 mg/kg. Consistent with prolonged effects seen with transient exposure to neuregulin-1 in previous phase 1 investigations, improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction lasting up to 180 days after infusion were observed. These findings support continued clinical investigation of JK07 in heart failure. (Study of JK07 in Subjects With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction; NCT04210375)
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
