It might therefore lead to the development of new therapies to treat heart failure.
Dual mechanism SERCA2a activasemaglutidey inhibiting the Na+/K+ pump [an enzyme found in the membrane of all animal cells] and activating SERCA2a. Windtree Therapeutics noted that these product candidates are intended to be both oral and IV therapies.
They might represent both an outpatient, oral therapy for chronic heaheart failured hospital discharge, and an inpatient therapy for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure.
