Frequently asked questions about CDR132L

What is CDR132L?

CDR132L is an investigational small molecule developed by Novo Nordisk A/S for cardiovascular conditions, specifically heart failure and acute myocardial infarction. It is in Phase 2 clinical development and is being studied in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. It is also referred to as CDR132L (i.v.) in some study materials.

What is CDR132L used for in heart failure?

CDR132L is being studied for heart failure, including heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, each with left ventricular hypertrophy. It is also being evaluated in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction after acute myocardial infarction. It is investigational and has not been approved for any use.

Who makes CDR132L?

CDR132L is developed by Novo Nordisk A/S, which trades under the ticker NVO. Novo Nordisk is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the drug across heart failure and post-myocardial infarction populations.

What phase is CDR132L in?

CDR132L is in Phase 2 clinical development. Three Phase 2 trials and one Phase 1 trial make up the program, with three studies currently recruiting and one Phase 2 study completed. CDR132L is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is CDR132L in?

CDR132L is being studied in NCT06979375, a Phase 2 trial in heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy, and NCT06979362, a Phase 2 dose-comparison trial in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. A Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study, NCT07656454, is also recruiting. The completed Phase 2 trial is NCT05350969.

Is CDR132L the same as CDR132L (i.v.)?

Yes. CDR132L (i.v.) refers to the same investigational drug, CDR132L, developed by Novo Nordisk A/S. The parenthetical notation reflects intravenous administration. Both names refer to the small molecule being studied in Phase 2 trials for heart failure and acute myocardial infarction.
