SRD-002 utilizes an adeno-associated type 1 virus vector carrying the cardiac isoform of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase pump (SERCA2a) to directly target the molecular pathways underlying the core pathology of HFpEF by enhancing myocardial relaxation and reducing stiffness. The trial is evaluating the therapy in HFpEF patients with exercise-induced diastolic dysfunction, including those with LVEF ≥ 50% and symptomatic HFpEF defined by prior hospitalization or New York He...
