Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Relative change (%) from baseline in serum potassium [Measurements on day 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 will be used. The primary comparison between Spironolactone and AZD9977 will be done at day 28.]

    To compare the effect of AZD9977 with spironolactone on serum potassium (sK+)

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Plasma trough concentrations (Ctrough) values of spironolactone and AZD9977 [PK samples will be taken (within 60 min prior to dose) at day 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28.]

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9977 and spironolactone

  2. Relative change (%) from baseline in serum potassium [Measurements on day 1, 7 and 14 will be used. The primary comparison between Spironolactone and AZD9977 will be done at day 14.]

    To compare the effects of AZD9977 with spironolactone on serum potassium at Day 14.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years to 99 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Symptoms and signs consistent with a diagnosis of heart failure (HF)

  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥40% by transthoracic echocardiography within the past 12 months

  • Plasma NT-proBNP level ≥125 pg/ml (≥ 600pg/mL if patient has persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia)

  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥40 and ≤70ml/min/1.73m2 (by CKD-EPI formula).

  • Baseline serum potassium (sK+) level ≥3.5 and ≤4.8mmol/l.

  • Stable doses of the following medications at baseline for at least 4 weeks prior to randomisation:

Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) Loop diuretic (up to a 120mg furosemide dose or equivalent

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Patients with documented LVEF <40% at any time (i.e. patients with previously impaired LVEF that has now improved are not permitted).

  • Patients experiencing acute decompensation of heart failure requiring hospital admission or escalation in therapy.

  • Primary cardiomyopathy (e.g. constrictive, restrictive, infiltrative, toxic, hypertrophic, congenital or any primary cardiomyopathy in judgment of Investigator).

  • Hyponatraemia, defined as serum Na+ <135 mmol/L at the time of enrollment.

  • Persistent resting sinus tachycardia >110 bpm or sinus bradycardia <45bpm.

  • Systolic blood pressure (BP) <110mmHg or >180mmHg.

  • Diastolic BP <60 mmHg or >100 mmHg.

  • Patients previously intolerant to MRA (e.g. spironolactone or eplerenone) for any reason.

  • Medical conditions associated with development of hyperkalaemia (e.g. Addison's disease).

  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ≥2.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).

  • Patients who have been taking an MR antagonist within 1 month prior to randomization.
