5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial is a single center, open-label, dose-finding study of recombinant human relaxin (rhRlx) given intravenously (IV) to patients with stable, compensated CHF.
Detailed Description
Serial cohorts of patients with stable CHF will be enrolled upon meeting eligibility criteria. Dose escalation will be guided by hemodynamic response, safety and tolerability. The effects of rhRlx on hemodynamics will be assessed.
