An Exploratory, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Arm Trial of the Safety and Pharmacodynamic Activity of Sotagliflozin in Hemodynamically Stable Patients Hospitalized With Worsening Heart Failure

Primary Objectives:

- Assess the safety and tolerability of sotagliflozin in hemodynamically stable patients
with worsening of heart failure, compared to placebo.

- Estimate the effects of sotagliflozin on plasma volume changes in hemodynamically stable
patients with worsening of heart failure, compared to placebo.

Secondary Objectives:

- Explore the effect of sotagliflozin on erythropoiesis, as assessed by changes in plasma
erythropoietin levels, in hemodynamically stable patients with worsening of heart
failure, compared to placebo.

- Explore the effect of sotagliflozin on changes in plasma NT-proBNP levels, in
hemodynamically stable patients with worsening of heart failure, compared to placebo.

The total study duration will be approximately 27-40 days, including a screening period of
1-10 days, a treatment period of 14 days, and a follow-up period of 14±2 days.

Inclusion criteria :

- Written informed consent.

- 18 years of age or older.

- Patient admitted to the hospital or had urgent visit to emergency department or heart
failure unit/clinic or infusion center for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), defined by:

- Presence of ≥2 of the following clinical signs and symptoms of congestion: jugular
venous distension, pitting edema in lower extremities greater than trace, dyspnea,
rales heard on auscultation, radiographic pulmonary congestion, weight gain above
historical dry weight of at least 5 lbs (2.27 kg), and

- Requiring treatment with intravenous (IV) diuretics.

- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73m^2 at the screening or
randomization visit by the 4 variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD)
equation.

- Female subject must use a double contraception method during the study including a
highly effective method of birth control, except if she has undergone sterilization at
least 3 months earlier or is postmenopausal.

- Male participants, unless vasectomized and confirmed sterile by sperm analysis, must
use condoms during the study and refrain from donating sperm up to 90 days after the
day of last dose. If the patient has a female partner of childbearing potential, the
patient must wear a condom and female partner must use at least 1 highly effective
method of birth control during the study treatment period and the Follow-up period.

- Transitioning from IV to oral diuretics, and oral diuretic treatment has been
prescribed or administered.

- Hemodynamically stable, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) >100 mmHg with no
requirement for IV inotropes or IV vasodilators.

Exclusion criteria :

- History of Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

- Appears unlikely or unable to participate in the required study procedures, as
assessed by the study Investigator, study coordinator, or designee (ex:
clinically-significant psychiatric, addictive, or neurological disease), or sectioned
due to an official or court order.

- Current admission or visit for Worsening HF that is clearly and primarily triggered by
causes such as tachyarrhythmia (example: sustained ventricular tachycardia, or atrial
fibrillation/flutter with sustained ventricular response > 130 beats per minute),
acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident, heart valve
disorders (such as severe aortic stenosis), as determined by the Investigator.

- Clinically significant myocardial infarction (MI) within past 1 month as determined by
Investigator and with objective evidence from ECG, and/or cardiac imaging and/or
coronary angiography. Small isolated elevations in troponin that often accompany HF
hospitalization are not an exclusion, nor are clinically significant MIs that have
been revascularized without complications.

- Patients who recently had or scheduled to have cardiac interventions may be eligible
if:

- Stable 48 hours post procedure, and

- Have diuretic treatment planned for the duration of treatment in this study.

- Current use of or recent suspension of digoxin therapy with high levels of digoxin
(level should be obtained and must be <1.2 ng/mL) at screening.

- History of heart or kidney transplant.

- Diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

- End-stage HF defined as requiring left ventricular assist device insertion,
intra-aortic balloon placement (IABP), or any type of mechanical support during the
study period.

- Pregnancy (demonstrated by serum pregnancy test at screening), breast-feeding, or
inability or refusal to undergo pregnancy testing.

- Use of any investigational drug(s) or prohibited therapy or sodium-glucose
co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) 5 half-lives prior to screening.

- Patients with moderate or severe respiratory, hepatic, neurological, psychiatric,
active malignant tumor or other major systemic disease (including any diseases with
evidence of malabsorption), making implementation of the protocol and/or the
interpretation of the study results difficult.

- Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to sotagliflozin or any inactive
component of sotagliflozin or placebo (ie, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose
sodium [disintegrant], talc, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate [non-bovine]),
unless the reaction is deemed irrelevant to the study by the PI.

- Laboratory findings at the Screening Visit:

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3 times the upper
limit of the normal laboratory range (ULN) (1 repeat lab allowed);

- Total bilirubin >1.7 times the ULN (except in case of Gilbert's syndrome) (1 repeat
lab allowed);

- Amylase and/or lipase >3 times the ULN (1 repeat lab allowed).

- Patients with a severe or persistent in spite of optimal treatment genitourinary tract
infection at time of randomization.

- Patient is the Investigator or any sub-investigator, research assistant, pharmacist,
study coordinator, other staff or relative thereof directly involved in the conduct of
the protocol.

- History of diabetic ketoacidosis or non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma within 3 months
prior to the screening visit.

- Lower extremity diabetic complications (such as skin ulcers, infection, osteomyelitis
and gangrene) identified during the Screening period, and still requiring treatment at
Randomization.
