In plain English
This study looks at whether a medicine called CDR132L can improve the structure and working of the heart, compared with a placebo (a dummy medicine with no active drug), in people with heart failure. Heart failure means the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. The study is funded by Novo Nordisk A/S.
Who can take part
- Aged 40 to 84 years
- Diagnosed with heart failure symptoms at least 180 days ago, needing water tablets (diuretics) at least weekly, and in New York Heart Association class II to III (meaning some limits on activity but still able to carry out light tasks)
- On stable heart failure medicines with no changes for at least 45 days before joining
- Heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) below 50% on a heart scan
- A thickened or enlarged main heart chamber (left ventricle), shown on a heart scan
- Body mass index between 18.5 and 40, and body weight 140 kg or less
- A blood test (NT-proBNP) showing at least 300 pg/mL, or at least 600 pg/mL if you have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat)
Who may not be able to
- Kidney filtering rate (eGFR) below 30, based on a blood test
- A sudden kidney problem within the past 90 days, in the researcher's opinion
- A heart attack, unstable chest pain, or a hospital stay for heart failure within the past 30 days
- Heart failure medicines given by drip within the past 45 days
- Planned heart procedures, such as bypass surgery, a pacemaker or defibrillator, a procedure to fix an irregular heartbeat, or heart valve repair or replacement
- A stroke or mini-stroke (transient ischaemic attack) within the past 12 months
- A condition that might affect the barrier protecting the brain (for example, multiple sclerosis), in the researcher's opinion
- Severe liver disease, or liver blood tests more than 2.5 times the normal upper limit
- A known or suspected genetic cause of a thickened heart muscle, such as inherited cardiomyopathy or Fabry disease
- Suspected or diagnosed cardiac amyloidosis or sarcoidosis (conditions where abnormal material builds up in the heart or other organs)
What taking part involves
- • CDR132L or a placebo (a dummy medicine with no active drug) — not stated which doses, how it is given, or for how long — ask the trial team
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team about the number of visits, how long the study lasts, and what taking part involves.

About This Trial
This study will look into how CDR132L (a potential new medicine) works on the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure. Participants will either get CDR132L or placebo (a medicine which has no effect on the body), which treatment the participants get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 60 weeks.
