Study of JK07 in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

Exclusion Criteria

• •Uncontrolled hypertension.
• •Sustained systolic Blood Pressure (BP) \< 90 mmHg and/or diastolic BP \< 50 mmHg on 2 consecutive (duplicate seated) readings at screening.
• •Heart failure due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive and/or infiltrative cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, Fabry disease, or Noonan syndrome with LV hypertrophy or a positive serum immunofixation result.
• •Diagnosis of stress-induced (Takotsubo) cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, or peripartum cardiomyopathy.
• •Diagnosis of chemotherapy- or radiation-induced cardiomyopathy.
• •Diagnosed with stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) within 12 weeks of screening.
• •History of syncope within the last 12 weeks prior to screening or sustained ventricular tachycardia without an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
• •Moderate or severe aortic and/or mitral valve stenosis.
• •Medically documented unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome (e.g., myocardial infarction, troponin-positive with symptoms of angina or unstable angina) within the last 8 weeks prior to start of screening.
• •Medically documented ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 12 weeks of screening.
• •Any tachycardia (inclusive of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter) with a resting ventricular rate \> 110 beats per minute at screening.
• •For participants with a history of AF or atrial flutter, not on adequate anticoagulant therapy via non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants or warfarin if the CHA2DS2-VASc score is ≥ 2 in men or ≥ 3 in women or per local guidelines. Percutaneous occlusion of the left atrial appendage alone is not adequate.
• •AF ablation within the last 12 weeks prior to screening or planned during the study duration.
• •Symptomatic bradycardia or second (Mobitz Type II)- or third-degree heart block without a pacemaker.
• •Cardiac surgery, coronary artery revascularization or indication for coronary artery revascularization, percutaneous coronary intervention, valve repair/replacement or valvuloplasty within 12 weeks prior to screening.
• •Implantation of a Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) device within 12 weeks prior to screening, or intent to implant a CRT device during the course of the study.
• •Previous cardiac transplantation, or any use of mechanical circulatory support or similar device, or implantation expected after randomization.
• •Receiving mechanical hemodynamic support or invasive mechanical ventilation within the last 8 weeks prior to screening.
• •Receiving Intravenous (IV) inotropes or IV vasopressors within the last 8 weeks prior to screening.
• •Receiving IV vasodilators within the last 4 weeks prior to screening.
• •Receiving noninvasive mechanical ventilation within the last 4 weeks prior to screening. The use of noninvasive ventilation for sleep disordered breathing is permitted.
