Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled, Phase II clinical study that evaluated the effect of serelaxin versus placebo (both in addition to SoC) on the release of hs-cTnI, in patients with CHF after an exercise testing session.

Serelaxin followed by Placebo

On Day 1 of treatment period 1, Serelaxin will be administered as a continuous i.v. infusion according to a weight-range adjusted dosing regimen The routine exercise assessment will commence at minute 120. In treatment period 2, on day 15 ± 1-day washout, matching placebo will be administered as a continuous i.v. infusion according to a weight-range adjusted dosing regimen.

* Receiving guideline-recommended treatment for CHF.
* Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 45%, obtained within the last 3 months prior to screening.
* NT-proBNP \> 300 ng/L in sinus rhythm or \> 900 ng/L if not in sinus rhythm (determined locally).
* Ability to exercise for at least 10 to 12 minutes based on investigator's judgment.
