Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18 years.
- Advanced Heart Failure
- Advanced HF defined as HF requiring LVAD implantation and deemed stable on his/her LVAD.
- On stable medical therapy (per the discretion of the treating physician) including beta-blockers, ACE-inhibitors, angiotensin receptors blockers, angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, isosorbide, hydralazine, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists) and optimized pump speed for at least a month prior to randomization.
- HS-CRP level≥2 mg/l.
- NYHA class II-III symptoms.
- Ability to understand and provide signed informed consent.
- Reasonable expectation that patient will receive standard post-treatment care and attend all scheduled safety follow-up visits
You may not qualify if:
- Women of childbearing potential. Postmenopausal women or women with permanent contraception method (defined as total hysterectomy) will not be excluded.
- History of debilitating stroke (modified Rankin Score \> 3) within 3 months.
- The likelihood of requirement of cardiac surgery during the study period.
- Presence of clinically significant, uncorrected left sided valvular heart disease, active acute myocarditis, or uncontrolled hypertension defined as Persistently elevated mean arterial blood pressure (\>100 mmHg). Echocardiography within 12 months of screening. Patients can be re-evaluated, at the discretion of the investigator.
- QTc \>550 ms (in the absence of bundle branch block, interventricular conduction delay or ventricular pacing). Electrocardiogram (ECG) within 60 days.
- History of cardiac arrest within 3 months.
- Hypertrophic or infiltrative cardiomyopathy.
- Considered or listed for organ transplantation or history of organ transplantation
- Illness other than HF with life expectancy less than 12 months.
- Enrolled in an interventional trial or received an experimental drug or device within 30 days of randomization.
- Left ventricular assist device implantation \>2 years prior to enrollment.
- Biventricular assist device (Bi-VAD) support.
- Severe COPD defined by FEV1\<1L, FEV1/FVC\<70% within 12 months if known history of COPD, otherwise FEV1\<1L, FEV1/FVC\<70% within 24 months
- Uncontrolled seizure disorder.
- Clinically significant hematologic, hepatic, or renal impairment as determined by screening clinical laboratory tests within the last 30 days:
- +11 more criteria

Limitations and Caveats
Due to lack of funding and COVID-19, the study was terminated early after 4 patients were recruited. This number is too small to perform any analysis
