Frequently asked questions about CDR132L

What is CDR132L used for?

CDR132L is an investigational small molecule being developed for cardiovascular conditions, specifically heart failure and acute myocardial infarction. It is also being studied in healthy volunteers to assess its safety and pharmacokinetics. The drug is currently in clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes CDR132L?

CDR132L is being developed by Novo Nordisk A/S, a pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker NVO. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions.

What phase is CDR132L in?

CDR132L is in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. Phase 1 studies are assessing safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in healthy volunteers and heart failure patients. Phase 2 trials are recruiting participants to evaluate the drug's effects on heart structure and function in people with heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy.

What clinical trials is CDR132L in?

CDR132L is being studied in several clinical trials. NCT04045405 is a completed Phase 1 study in heart failure patients in the UK. NCT06979362 and NCT06979375 are recruiting Phase 2 trials in heart failure patients with preserved or reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. NCT07656454 is a recruiting Phase 1 study comparing subcutaneous and intravenous administration in healthy participants.

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

Yes, CDR132L is also known as CDR132L (i.v.), referring to the intravenous route of administration. This alternative name is used in some clinical contexts to specify how the drug is given. The drug is being studied in both intravenous and subcutaneous forms.
