E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of ranolazine 1000 mg administered twice daily compared to placebo on exercise-induced myocardial perfusion defect size (PDS) and total perfusion deficit (TPD), assessed by gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in subjects with documented exercise-induced myocardial ischemia at baseline. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Written informed consent
2. Males and females aged ≥ 18 years
3. Able to perform exercise stress testing (either a treadmill test or upright cycle ergometry)
4. One of the following:
- An exercise SPECT MPI study (stress and rest) performed not more than 12 weeks prior to Screening, OR
- An exercise SPECT MPI study (stress and rest) performed during screening (after consultation with the Medical Monitor and after informed consent has been obtained) on subjects who have a high likelihood of qualifying in the opinion of the Principal Investigator
5. At least 10% reversible myocardial ischemia on the qualifying exercise SPECT MPI study as confirmed by the core nuclear laboratory
6. Stable antianginal medical therapy, excluding short-acting nitroglycerin. The doses of any antianginal medications (other than short-acting nitroglycerin) should not have significantly increased since the qualifying scans were conducted.
7. Females of child-bearing potential must agree to utilize highly effective contraception methods from Screening throughout the duration of study treatment and for 14 days following the last dose of study drug. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
General
1. Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent
2. Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 38 kg/m2 (may be up to 40 kg/m2 after consultation with the Medical Monitor)
3. Females who are breastfeeding
4. Positive serum pregnancy test (female of child-bearing potential)
5. Inability to exercise or exercise limitation due to other co-morbidities that may interfere with ability to perform required exercise SPECT MPI study (eg, significant chronic lung disease, prior hospitalization for acute exacerbation of chronic lung disease or home oxygen use or chronic oral steroid therapy that can limit exercise capacity)
6. Any absolute contraindications to exercise stress testing
7. Any other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, are likely to prevent compliance with the study protocol or pose a safety concern if the subject participates in the trial
8. Participation in another trial of an investigational drug or device within 30 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is greater) prior to Screening Criteria Related to Medical History
9. Left bundle branch block
10. Automated implantable defibrillator
11. Pacemaker (selected subjects with permanent pacemakers who have an intact intrinsic sinus mechanism may be included after consultation with the Medical Monitor)
12. Acute myocardial infarction within 60 days prior to Screening or at any time after the qualifying exercise SPECT MPI study, or MI undergoing staged intervention during the duration of this trial
13. Resting LV ejection fraction < 30%
14. Intervening coronary revascularization between the time of the qualifying exercise SPECT MPI study and Randomization
15. Anticipated coronary revascularization during the trial period
16. Unstable angina within 30 days prior to Screening or at any time after the qualifying exercise SPECT MPI study
17. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery within 60 days prior to Screening or at any time after the qualifying exercise SPECT MPI study, or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 30 days prior to Screening or at any time after the qualifying exercise SPECT MPI study
18. Cerebrovascular Attack (CVA) or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) within 90 days prior to Screening
19. History of serious arrhythmias
20. Currently in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter
21. QTc interval > 500 milliseconds
22. Diagnosed as having New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure
23. Prior heart transplant
24. Clinically significant valvular or congenital heart disease
25. Severe pulmonary hypertension
26. Clinically significant hepatic impairment
27. Creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula
Male: ((140 – age in years) × (wt in kg))/ (72 × (serum creatinine in mg/dL)) = CrCl (mL/min)
Female: ((140 – age in years) × (wt in kg))/(72 × (serum creatinine in mg/dL)) × 0.85 = CrCl (mL/min)
Criteria Related to Medications
28. Current or prior treatment with ranolazine
29. Current treatment with Class Ia, Ic or III antiarrhythmic medications, except amiodarone at a stable dose for at least 12 weeks prior to the qualifying scan
30. Current treatment with strong inhibitors of CYP3A
31. Current treatment with CYP3A and P-gp inducers
32. Current treatment with CYP3A4 substrates with a narrow therapeutic range
(eg, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus)
33. Subjects taking simvastatin who cannot reduce the dose to 20 mg once daily or who cannot switch to another statin
34. Subjects taking greater than a total of 1000 mg daily of metformin who cannot reduce the dose to a maximum total of 1000 mg daily (additional anti-diabetic medications may be added as clinically indicated to allow subjects to decrease their metformin dose and maintain glycemic control) |
