Conditions

Congestive Heart Failure

Brief summary

To confirm the tolerability of intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 8 or 16 mg once daily for a maximum of 5 days to CHF patients with volume overload despite having received diuretics (injection) other than vasopressin antagonists and who have difficulty with or are incapable of oral intake.

Interventions

Intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 8 mg or 16 mg once daily for a maximum of 5 days. Starting with 8mg, increase the dose to 16mg on Day 2 or Day 3, according to the dose escalation criteria.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEsFrom the start of IMP administration (Day 1) up to 15 daysAn AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical trial subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that leads to death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or any other important medical event which is medically significant. A TEAE is an AE that occurs only after a subject has received IMP.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

A total of 45 subjects were administered investigational medicinal product (IMP): 38 subjects with dose maintained at 8 mg, and 7 subjects with dose increased to 16 mg. None of the subjects reduced the dose after the dose was increased to 16 mg. All 45 subjects received at least one dose of IMP and thus were included in the safety analysis set. Overall, 41 subjects completed the trial (34 of those subjects completed the trial early), and 4 subjects were discontinued from the trial.

Percentage of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical trial subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that leads to death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or any other important medical event which is medically significant. A TEAE is an AE that occurs only after a subject has received IMP.

Change From Baseline in Body Weight

Change in body weight from baseline (before IMP administration on Day 1) at time of final IMP administration (day after final IMP administration). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
