Heart failure drug trial pulled before it even started
NCT ID NCT05953831
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This was a planned Phase 2 study testing a drug called CDR132L in about 130 people with heart failure and a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction. The drug aimed to reverse harmful changes in the heart muscle. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CDR132L (a synthetic molecule that blocks a specific microRNA linked to heart damage)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a treatment that reverses heart muscle thickening and improves heart function in certain types of heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data exists yet. Even if tested, early-phase studies often fail to show benefit in larger populations.

Main Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provision of signed informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures. 2. Male or female of non-childbearing potential patients age ≥40 and \<85 years. 3. Documented diagnosis of symptomatic heart failure (NYHA class II-IV) at enrollment, and a medical history of typical symptoms/signs of heart failure ≥6 weeks before enrollment with at least intermittent need for diuretic treatment. 4. Ejection fraction ≥45% (determined by echocardiography at site laboratory) 5. Increased intraventricular wall thickness (≥11 mm for female and ≥12 mm for male patients by echocardiography at site laboratory) 6. NT-proBNP \> 300 pg/ml (sinus rhythm); \>900 pg/ml (atrial fibrillation at time of screening/inclusion or documented with the last 6 months) 7. BMI between 22 kg/m² and 45 kg/m². Main Exclusion Criteria: 1. Hemoglobin A1C (A1C) ≥10.5% 2. eGFR \<35 mL/min/1.73m² 3. Systolic blood pressure (BP) \<90 mmHg on 2 consecutive measurements at 5-minute intervals, at Screening. 4. Systolic BP≥180 mmHg on 2 consecutive measurements at 5-minute intervals, at Screening. 5. Planned coronary revascularization, ablation of atrial flutter/fibrillation and valve repair/replacement. 6. Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 12 weeks prior to enrolment.
