Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 10% and 40%.
  2. Male or female, aged 18 to 75 years, inclusive.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Received any investigational agent or participation in any clinical study of an investigational agent or investigational therapy up to 30 days prior to the screening visit.
  2. Use of any new prescription medication up to 14 days prior to receiving investigational drug.
  3. Patients with known specific hepatic disease; bilirubin >2 mg/dL, SGOT > 100 IU.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

GGF2

Arm Description

Seven dosing cohorts: 2 patients randomized to receive 1 GGF2, 1 placebo; if no drug-related dose-limiting toxicities in GGF2-treated patient, other 4 patients in cohort will be randomized (3:1) and dosed

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Safety of Single Ascending Doses of GGF2 Via an Assessment of the Toxicology Profile as Measured by Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Safety/ tolerability of single dose; cumulative safety over 6 months TEAEs are defined as adverse events with date of onset (or worsening) on or after the start date of double-blind treatment and no more than 28 days from the start date of double-blind treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline of Two-Dimensional Echocardiogram (2D-ECHO) Measured by Ejection Fraction (EF)
An echocardiogram is a type of ultrasound test that uses high-pitched sound waves that are sent through a device called a transducer. The device picks up echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off the different parts of your heart. These echoes are turned into moving pictures of your heart that can be seen on a video screen.¹ Ejection fraction is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving your heart each time it contracts.² ¹http://wakeinternalmedicine.com/services-and-procedures/services/radiology/2d-echo/ ²http://www.mayoclinic.org/ejection-fraction/expert-answers/faq-20058286
Change From Baseline of 2D-ECHO Measured by End-Diastolic Volume (EDV)
EDV is the amount of blood in the ventricle immediately before a cardiac contraction begins; used as a measurement of diastolic function.¹ ¹http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/end-diastolic+volume
Change From Baseline of 2D-ECHO Measured by End-Systolic Volume (ESV)
ESV is the volume of blood remaining in each ventricle at the end of systole.¹ ¹http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/end-diastolic+volume
