Trial to Determine Imaging Parameters of LMI1195 in Heart Failure Patients at Low and High Risk of Defibrillator Firing (LMI1195-201)

The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the optimal imaging parameters and assess the safety of LMI1195 -101 in Heart Failure subjects at Low and High Risk of cardiac events.

• To determine the optimal imaging protocol for a single dose of LMI1195 during positron emission tomography (PET) for the intended study population.
• To assess the safety and tolerability of LMI1195 in patients at low risk of ventricular arrhythmia ("low risk patients") and heart failure patients with a history of firing of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) within 6 months prior to enrollment, a documented ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 35%, and a prior diagnosis of NYHA Class II-III heart failure ("heart failure patients") who are undergoing PET imaging.

• Experimental: Cohort 1
  Low risk Heart Failure patients
  Intervention: Drug: LMI 1195
• Experimental: Cohort 2
  High risk Heart Failure patients with history of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator firing
  Intervention: Drug: LMI 1195

• Have a normal left ventricular ejection fraction (i.e., ≥ 55% for cohort one or ≤35% for cohort two) by multiple gate acquisition scan (MUGA), echocardiogram or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) within 90 days prior, but no less than 3 days prior to enrollment.
• Have been scheduled to undergo or have undergone a SPECT or an approved PET perfusion imaging study performed within 90 days prior to, but no less than 3 days prior to enrollment. to and within the study timeline must be reviewed and deemed acceptable by the judgment of the investigator) (Additional More Specific Criteria can be accessed by contacting an LMI representative)
