A Phase II/III Tolerance and Efficacy Study of RSD1235 in Patients With Atrial Flutter (Scene 2)

March 31, 2008 updated by: Advanz Pharma

A Phase II/III Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Centred Tolerance and Efficacy Study of RSD1235 in Patients With Atrial Flutter

This study will attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness of RSD1235 in the conversion of atrial flutter (AFL) to sinus rhythm.

Detailed Description

There are approximately 2 million reported prevalent cases of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter (AFL) in the United States (Heart Disease & Stroke Statistics - 2003 Update, AHA). These arrhythmias may be occasional or sustained. AF/AFL is usually associated with age, and general physical condition, rather than with a specific cardiac event, as is often the case with ventricular arrhythmia. While not directly fatal, these arrhythmias cause discomfort and can lead to stroke or congestive heart failure.

This Phase II/III trial is Cardiome's first study with RSD1235 for the treatment of atrial flutter. The study seeks to demonstrate RSD1235's abilities to convert AFL to sinus rhythm. The patient population will have atrial flutter of duration greater than 3 hours and less than or equal to 45 days.

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study in patients with AFL; stratification will be based on duration of AFL. Treatment will be considered successful if there is a treatment-induced conversion of atrial arrhythmia to sinus rhythm for a minimum of 1-minute by Hour 1.5 (Time 0 = start of first infusion). All patients will be evaluated for safety.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To demonstrate the effectiveness of RSD1235 in the conversion of AFL to sinus rhythm. Treatment will be considered successful if there is treatment-induced conversion of AFL to sinus rhythm for a minimum of 1 minute duration by Hour 1.5.
Time Frame: The proportion of patients with atrial flutter who have treatment-induced conversion of atrial flutter to sinus rhythm for a minimum duration of one minute in the first 90 minutes after the first exposure to study treatment.
The proportion of patients with atrial flutter who have treatment-induced conversion of atrial flutter to sinus rhythm for a minimum duration of one minute in the first 90 minutes after the first exposure to study treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To assess the safety of RSD1235 in this patient population and to assess the efficacy of RSD1235 in lowering the ventricular response rate in patients with AFL.
Time Frame: Treatment-induced reduction of the ventricular response rate within 50 minutes of first exposure to treatment for patient with atrial flutter.
Treatment-induced reduction of the ventricular response rate within 50 minutes of first exposure to treatment for patient with atrial flutter.
