Summary

TRV‑120027 (also known as TRV027) is a synthetic, modified angiotensin II peptide designed as a β‑arrestin‑biased agonist of the AT1 receptor. It was evaluated in Phase 2 trials for acute decompensated heart failure but has not received regulatory approval.

Mechanism of Action

Selective activation of β‑arrestin signaling at the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) while antagonizing G‑protein pathways, leading to vasodilation and enhanced cardiac output

Routes of Administration

Intravenous
