NCT00757055 ↗	If Channel Blockade With Ivabradine in Patients With Diastolic Heart Failure	Withdrawn	St Vincent's University Hospital, Ireland	Phase 2	2012-12-01	The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the medicine ivabradine, a novel drug which slows the heart rate has a favourable effect on patients with diastolic heart failure. Ivabradine is a specific heart rate-lowering agent. It has a licence for treating patients with angina who are intolerant of agents such as beta blockers or whose angina is not adequately controlled. It has been shown to prolong exercise tolerance in these patients and to reduce the frequency of chest pain. Its mechanism of action is felt to be purely due to reducing heart rate, by as much as 10 beats per minute at rest, as well as by reducing the heart rate response to exercise. Patients with diastolic heart failure often complain of breathlessness on exertion which relates to the stiffness or lack of compliance of their heart i.e. the heart fails to relax rapidly enough to allow it to fill with blood between each heart beat. This may result in high pressure in the heart chamber which backs up in to the lungs and may be experienced as breathlessness. There is little evidence that any specific therapy benefits patients with this type of heart failure besides treating coexisting problems such as high blood pressure or angina. By slowing the heart rate down with ivabradine, the heart would have a longer time to fill during exercise which would make it more effective. This slowing of the heart rate may therefore relieve the breathlessness experienced on activity such as walking to the shops or up a flight of stairs etc.

FAQs

1. What are the primary indications for ivabradine hydrochloride?
Ivabradine is FDA and EMA approved for chronic HFrEF patients with reduced ejection fraction (≤35%) and resting heart rate ≥70 bpm, as well as for stable angina pectoris. Ongoing trials are exploring its potential in HFpEF and post-AMI settings.

2. How does ivabradine compare to beta-blockers in heart failure management?
While both reduce heart rate, ivabradine offers selective sinus node inhibition without beta-adrenergic blockade, resulting in fewer blood pressure and bronchospasm effects, serving as an adjunct in beta-blocker intolerant or suboptimally controlled patients.

3. What are the key safety concerns related to ivabradine?
Risks include atrial fibrillation, luminous phenomena (phosphenes), and hypotension. Careful patient selection and monitoring are essential, particularly in those predisposed to arrhythmias or visual disturbances.

4. What impact will patent expiries have on the ivabradine market?
Patent expiries, expected around 2026, could lead to generic entry, reducing drug prices and increasing accessibility. This might impact brand-market share but lower costs could broaden use.

5. What future trends should investors monitor regarding ivabradine?
Investors should watch for trial outcomes related to HFpEF, pipeline advancements, regulatory decisions in emerging markets, and competitive drug development, including biosimilars and combination therapies.
