Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate the efficacy of TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) compared with placebo in subjects with PH-HFpEF as measured by the change in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6 MWD; Day 1 to Week 12).

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of oral levosimendan in patients with PH-HFpEF. There will be a Screening Period of up to 30 days. Subjects will provide written informed consent prior to completing any study procedures. Upon meeting all eligibility criteria, patients will continue to the 12-week randomized, double-blind treatment phase. Approximately 230 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive an oral dose of levosimendan or placebo

All randomized subjects will have the option to enter the 92-week OLE following the completion of all study events at Week 12.
