General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether treatment with the antisense inhibitor of human C-reactive protein (CRP) (ISIS 329993) can reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) burden (percentage of time spent in AF as derived from continuous pacemaker monitoring) in subjects with paroxysmal AF.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Subjects were evaluated to determine their capacity to sign an informed consent form which was in English and easily understood by the subjects. The subjects were encouraged to complete the early termination study procedures and observations at the time of withdrawal.

End point description |
SF-36 investigates the standard of quality of life (QOL) through a general health assessment. It is a 36-item questionnaire measuring 8 domains (bodily pain [BP], general health [GH], mental health [MH], physical functioning [PF], role emotional [RE], role physical [RP], social functioning [SF], vitality [VT]). Two summary scale scores were computed based on weighted combinations of the 8 domain scores: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). Each domain score ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), with higher scores reflecting better health-related functional status. Per Protocol population included all subjects who were randomised and received at least 5 doses of ISIS 329993 and who did not have any clinically significant protocol deviations. Measurements were only compared from baseline and active treatment period.

Date |
Amendment |
||
27 Apr 2012 |
Clarification provided for the use of concomitant medication whereby warfarin is the only anticoagulant permitted for use on study. |
||
30 May 2012 |
Since plasma hsCRP levels may be elevated as a consequence of infection Exclusion Criterion 3 was amended to state that subjects with an active infection should complete systemic antiviral or antimicrobial treatment prior to the Screening Period. |
||
13 Jul 2012 |
The rule for early crossover was changed to include any intolerable symptoms rather than just intolerable symptoms as a consequence of their AF. |
||
17 Dec 2012 |
Direct thrombin antagonist dabigatran (PradaxaTM) was added to the list of allowed therapeutic anticoagulant medications and to Inclusion Criterion 8. Additional safety stopping rules for bleeding were added to the safety monitoring rules. |
||
02 May 2013 |
Inclusion Criterion 8 was modified to clarify that the requirement for being on a stable dose of anticoagulant for ≥3 months was only applicable to subjects who received dabigatran and that the ≥3-month period of stable dosing for dabigatran was relative to Study Day 1. Since smoking increases CRP and impairs endothelial function, carbon monoxide breath testing throughout the duration of the study was added to the required study procedures for subjects that had been abstinent from smoking for ≤6 months prior to screening. Modified the wording of Inclusion Criteria 4 and 5, and Exclusion Criteria 2b, 6, 11, 18, and 24.
|
||
16 Oct 2013 |
The maximum number of subjects enrolled was reduced from 20 to 25 subjects to 10 subjects because the target treatment effect had been increased from 35% to 50% reduction in AF burden. The interim safety analysis, which was to be performed after 10 subjects had completed the treatment period, was removed since the number of subjects required in the study had been reduced to 10 subjects. Inclusion Criterion 9, hsCRP ≥2 mg/L and ≤10 mg/L at Screening, was removed since there is no specific threshold for hsCRP at which subjects are deemed to be at increased risk for higher AF burden. Exclusion Criterion 24 was removed since there is no strong association between current smoking status and AF burden. |
