Brief Summary

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

The primary purpose of this mechanistic study is to evaluate the vasodilatory effects of AZD3427 in adult patients with heart failure and will be performed at approximately 2 study sites in the United Kingdom.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will enroll patients in 2 cohorts in parallel: 1 cohort of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and 1 cohort of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Each cohort plans to enroll at least 7 evaluable patients.

All patients will receive the same sequence of 5 intra-arterial (IA) infusions into the brachial artery, consisting of a baseline saline infusion of approximately 20 minutes, followed by 3 sequential infusions of AZD3427 at ascending doses of approximately 10 minutes (each) and a washout saline infusion of approximately 15 minutes.

For each patient, the study will last at least 51 days and up to 99 days, including:

* A screening period of 1 to 42 days (which will include baseline echocardiography)
* A single-day treatment period during which patients will stay at study site until at least 4 hours after the end of infusions
* A follow-up period of 49 to 56 days after the end of the last infusion including:

A follow-up phone call on Day 2 (within 24 ± 6 hours post-infusion) A follow-up visit on Day 8 (+ 3 days) A follow-up visit on Day 29 (± 2 days) A follow-up visit on Day 50 (+ 7 days)

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with HFpEF or HFrEF

Patients will be enrolled in 2 cohorts in parallel: 1 cohort of patients with HFpEF and 1 cohort of patients with HFrEF. Patients will receive a sequence of 5 IA infusions into the brachial artery, consisting of a baseline saline infusion of approximately 20 minutes, followed by 3 sequential infusions of AZD3427 at ascending doses of approximately 10 minutes (each) and a washout saline infusion of approximately 15 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AZD3427

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive 5 IA infusions of AZD3427 into the brachial artery. The IA infusions of AZD3427 will be administered via a syringe pump, using a polypropylene syringe containing 0.9% (w/v) saline and delivered through an administration set comprising a syringe, extension tubing (PVC), and a 0.2- or 0.22-μm PVDF syringe filter.

9. History of cancer in the last 5 years, except for non-melanoma skin cancer.
10. Any clinically important abnormalities in clinical chemistry, haematology or urinalysis.
11. Any positive result at Screening for serum hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody and human immunodeficiency virus.
12. History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing clinically important allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the investigator.
13. Abnormal vital signs, after at least 10-minute supine rest, defined as any of the following at Screening:

1. Systolic blood pressure (BP) \> 160 mmHg.
2. Diastolic BP \> 90 mmHg.
