The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and effect on cardiac function of intravenous APD418 in adult participants with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
This study has an adaptive design, in which dose escalation in Part A will inform dose expansion in Part B. Part A is a single-ascending dose, placebo-controlled study planned to consist of 5 cohorts evaluating 5 doses of APD418. Part B is a parallel-treatment group study planned to evaluate 2 doses of APD418 and placebo. Participants in Part A cannot participate in Part B.

Part A: Change in Cardiac Index (CI) Measured by Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) From Baseline to End of Intravenous (IV) Infusion at 6 Hours
Cardiac index (CI) is a hemodynamic parameter that relates the cardiac output (CO) from left ventricle in one minute to body surface area (BSA), thus relating heart performance to the body size of the participant. It was measured by RHC.
Time frame: Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion)
Part A: Change in Stroke Volume (SV), Left Ventricular End-Systolic Volume (LVESV) and Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Volume (LVEDV) Measured by Echocardiogram (ECHO) From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours
SV is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat. LVESV is the volume of blood in the left ventricle at the end of contraction and at diastole. LVEDV is the amount of blood in the heart's left ventricle just before the heart contracts. All these parameters were measured by ECHO.
Time frame: Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion)
Part A: Change in Stroke Volume Index (SVI) Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours
SVI was calculated as stroke volume divided by BSA. This was measured by ECHO.
Time frame: Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion)
Part A: Change in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours
LVEF is the central measure of left ventricular systolic function. LVEF is the fraction of chamber volume ejected in systole (stroke volume) in relation to the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole (end-diastolic volume). This was measured by ECHO.
Time frame: Baseline (within 2 hours prior to start of study treatment administration) up to 6 Hours (end of IV infusion)

Part A: Change in Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (LVGLS) and Left Ventricular Global Circumferential Strain (LVGCS) Measured by ECHO From Baseline to End of IV Infusion at 6 Hours
Left ventricular global strain is the average strain of the cardiac chamber wall, where LVGLS presents longitudinal shortening as a percentage (change in length as a proportion to baseline length). LVGCS measures the chamber deformation along the circumference of the cardiac wall in a tangential xy-direction and similarly presents the circumferential shortening as a percentage. Both the parameters were measured by ECHO.
