Public studies

  • Phase 2Enrolling
    Pfizer BRANCH-HF (C4921003) — PF-07328948 in HFpEF

    Sponsor: Pfizer

    Phase 2 study of PF-07328948, an oral branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD) kinase inhibitor, in adults with heart failure. The trial evaluates the metabolic pathway that branched-chain amino acid catabolism plays in cardiac function in HFpEF.

  • Phase 3Enrolling
    ICONIC-HF — Ferric Derisomaltose in Iron-Deficiency Heart Failure

    Sponsor: Pharmacosmos

    Phase 3 trial of ferric derisomaltose (intravenous iron) versus no intravenous iron in iron-deficient subjects with symptomatic chronic heart failure. ICONIC-HF measures the impact of IV iron supplementation on HF outcomes.
