Study Start Date: November 2006
Detailed Description:

Pilot clinical data suggest that recombinant human relaxin may be effective in treating patients with decompensated CHF. This study will randomize patients in blinded manner to one of two doses of intravenous relaxin or placebo. Serial evaluations will include cardiac and renal function, as well as safety and tolerability.
