History of Changes
  Purpose

This study will look at how a single dose of study medication (tolvaptan) versus an inactive sugar pill (placebo) effect pressures in the heart in patients with congestive heart failure. Higher than normal pressures can be related to symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.).


Condition Intervention Phase
Heart Failure, Congestive
 Drug: tolvaptan
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics/Dynamics Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of Single Oral Tolvaptan Tablets on Hemodynamic Parameters in Subjects With Heart Failure
