A Study Evaluating the Effects of Ataciguat (HMR1766) on Aortic Valve Calcification

Summary

The primary objective of the current study is to determine whether Ataciguat (HMR1766) slows progression of valve calcification in patients with moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. Secondary and tertiary objectives are to determine whether Ataciguat slows progression of aortic valve function, reduces systemic inflammation, and prevents left ventricular dysfunction in patients with moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis.
