Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IV Infusion Treatment With Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Subjects With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure (ATOMIC-AHF)

Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of 48 hours of intravenous (IV) omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on dyspnea in subjects with left ventricular systolic dysfunction hospitalized for acute heart failure. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 3 dose cohorts enrolled sequentially in order of ascending dose strength of omecamtiv mecarbil. In each cohort, subjects are randomized 1:1 to omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo.
