CARE- Feline HCM Stage C

Principle Investigator

Joshua Stern

Description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this investigational product in cats diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) following their first onset of congestive heart failure (CHF). Specifically, the study aims to determine whether treatment with the investigational product can delay the progression of cardiac disease, reduce the occurrence of cardiac-related morbidity, and extend the time to cardiac-related mortality. By assessing clinical outcomes over time, this research seeks to better understand the potential role of the investigational product in improving both the quality and duration of life for cats affected by these serious cardiac conditions. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of a once-daily oral liquid investigational medication administered by the cat owner, with the goal of achieving approval by FDA.
