Change from baseline AUC for systolic blood pressure
Change from baseline at 24 hours in the unitless ratio of E (cm/sec) to Ea (or e') (cm/sec) as measured by echocardiogram. The endpoint is the Tissue Doppler echocardiography showing measurement of mitral E/Ea ratio for assessment of diastolic dysfunction. Initially mitral E wave is measured. After that, color Tissue Doppler (tissue velocity imaging or TVI) mode is switched on to assess tissue Doppler. The cursor is placed over the medial mitral annulus and tissue Doppler tracing obtained. This allows Ea velocity to be measured. Higher values are suggestive of a worse outcome; less than 8 is normal.

Istaroxime is an investigational small molecule being developed for cardiovascular conditions, specifically acute decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock. It has been studied in clinical trials for these indications, as well as in healthy volunteers for safety and tolerability assessments.
Istaroxime is being developed by Windtree Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol WINT. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in cardiovascular indications.
Istaroxime is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials for acute decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock, and an additional Phase 1/2 trial for cardiogenic shock is currently active but not recruiting.
Istaroxime has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT02477449 (Phase 1, healthy volunteers), NCT02617446 (Phase 2, acute decompensated heart failure), NCT04325035 (Phase 2, pre-cardiogenic shock), and NCT05975021 (Phase 1/2, cardiogenic shock Stage C). The most recent trial is active but not recruiting.
Istaroxime is not known to have alternative names. It is a distinct investigational compound developed by Windtree Therapeutics for cardiovascular conditions, and no other names for this drug have been reported.
