Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of perhexiline on exercise performance (efficacy) and safety in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and moderate-to-severe heart failure following dosing for 16 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and symptoms without severe outflow obstruction will be eligible to participate. Enrollment will be limited to subjects who are unable to attain 75% of their maximum predicted MVO2 at cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Subjects with genetic evidence of CYP2D6 poor metabolizer status will be excluded.

Subjects will undergo functional testing at baseline with CPEX testing and 6 minute walk distance testing. They will begin perhexiline orally, and the dose will be adjusted according to plasma level testing. For the first 8 week period, the target therapeutic range will be 100-300 ng/mL, and for the second 8 week period, the range will be 300-500 ng/mL. Functional testing will be repeated at the end of both periods.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Perhexiline

Perhexiline will be administered orally. Dosing will be determined based on plasma level monitoring. For the first 8 week period, the target range will be 100-300 ng/mL, for the second 8 week period, the target range will be 300-500 ng/mL.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Perhexiline

Intervention Type DRUG

Period 1 (Weeks 1-8) and Period 2 (Weeks 9-16): dose titrated to two different plasma levels of perhexiline

Use of bioanalytical assay to monitor plasma levels of perhexiline

Intervention Type DEVICE

The bioanalytical assay is the device under investigation. It will be used to monitor plasma levels of perhexiline. The data obtained from this analysis will be used to guide dose adjustments of perhexiline.
