Efficacy and Safety of Relaxin for the Treatment of Acute Heart Failure
A Phase II/III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Relaxin in Subjects With Acute Heart Failure

Different doses of relaxin will be compared to placebo to determine efficacy and safety for the treatment of patients hospitalized with acute heart failure

This is an international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase II/III trial of intravenous recombinant relaxin for the treatment of signs and symptoms in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure. The Phase II pilot study has completed; the Phase III main portion of the trial is ongoing.
