Novel Evaluation With QGC001 in Hypertensive Overweight Patients of Multiple Ethnic Origins (NEW-HOPE)
A Phase 2, Open-Label, Dose-Titrating Safety and Efficacy Study of QGC001 Administered Orally, Twice Daily, Over 8 Weeks in Hypertensive Overweight Subjects of Multiple Ethnic and Racial Groups in the United States
Essential hypertension (HTN) is a disease that affects approximately 1 billion individuals worldwide. Despite the availability of effective and safe anti-hypertensive drugs, 65% of subjects diagnosed with HTN do not have their blood pressure (BP) controlled (<140/90 mmHg). The overall incidence of resistant HTN, (defined as requiring 3 or more anti-hypertensive drugs, including a diuretic, to control BP) is estimated to be 15% of the hypertensive population. Consequently, there is a pressing unmet medical need to develop new classes of anti-hypertensive drugs that act on alternative pathways and further control BP and the associated cardiovascular risks in subjects.
The prevalence of HTN in African Americans in the United States is among the highest in the world, and HTN is more common in African Americans than in Caucasians. One of the risk factors for HTN is sodium sensitivity. There is a higher association of HTN with sodium sensitivity in African American subjects and other racial/ethnic groups who are overweight/obese.
Effective agents to treat HTN in this high-risk population are clearly needed.
This study will be conducted in a hypertensive, overweight subject population of multiple ethnic origins in which QGC001 is likely, based on its mode of action, to demonstrate a significant anti-hypertensive effect.
Studie Overzicht
Gedetailleerde beschrijving
QGC001 is a prodrug of the specific and selective APA inhibitor, EC33, and is the prototype of a new class of centrally-acting anti-hypertensive agents called brain APA inhibitors. Inhibition of brain APA, which converts Ang II into Ang III, has emerged as a novel anti hypertensive treatment, as demonstrated in several experimental animal models. QGC001's anti-hypertensive effect is in part due to: 1) a decrease in arginine vasopressin release in the blood circulation, increasing diuresis, which reduces the size of body fluid compartment; and 2) a reduction in the sympathetic tone, leading to subsequent decreases in vascular resistances.
This study is an open-label, dose-titrating safety and efficacy study of QGC001 administered PO, BID, over 8 weeks in hypertensive overweight subjects of multiple ethnic and racial groups in the United States.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects of twice daily (BID) administration of oral (PO) QGC001 (250 mg BID, 500 mg BID, and 500 mg BID + hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25 mg once daily [QD]) on blood pressure (BP) over 8 weeks in hypertensive overweight/obese subjects of multiple races/ethnicities.

- Men and women greater than or equal to 18 years of age at Screening;
Diagnosis of primary (essential) hypertension (HTN) for at least 3 months prior to Screening and have an office SBP:
- Between 145 mmHg and 170 mmHg at Screening and are treatment-naïve; or
- Between 130 mmHg and 150 mmHg at Screening and are treated with less than or equal to 2 anti hypertensive medications. Anti-hypertensive medications must be stable for greater than or equal to 8 weeks prior to Screening;
- SBP between 145 mmHg and 170 mmHg, inclusive, and DBP less than or equal to 105 mmHg at the Inclusion Visit after 2-week Run In Period;
- Body mass index between 25 kg/m2 and 45 kg/m2 with the ability to fit the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) cuff per the manufacturer;
- Subject must have a successful ABPM measurement prior to receiving the study drug.
- Women of childbearing potential and non-surgically sterile male subjects who are sexually active must agree to use an approved highly effective form of contraception from the time of informed consent until 30 days post-dose.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test result at the Inclusion Visit (Day 0).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known or suspected secondary HTN (eg, renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, Cushing's disease);
- Office SBP greater than or equal to 171 mmHg and/or office diastolic blood pressure (DBP) greater than or equal to 105 mmHg at the Inclusion Visit (Day 0) and confirmed by a second measurement (not on the same day), preferably within 1 day;
- Known hypertensive retinopathy (Keith-Wagener Grade 3 or Grade 4) and/or hypertensive encephalopathy;
- History of spontaneous or drug-induced angioedema;
- Clinically significant valvular heart disease or severe aortic stenosis;
- Subjects with symptomatic heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II to Class IV);
- History of acute coronary syndrome (non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, ST elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina pectoris), stroke, or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to Screening;
- Known history of malabsorption syndrome, or has undergone gastrointestinal surgery, including bariatric procedures, that induce chronic malabsorption, within 2 years of Screening;
- Treatment with anti-obesity drugs or procedures 3 months prior to Screening (ie, surgery, aggressive diet regimen, etc.), leading to unstable body weight;
- Female who is breast feeding, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant during the study period;
- Medical history of cancer (except for basal cell carcinoma) and/or treatment for cancer within the last 5 years;
- Subject with an upper arm circumference that exceeds the upper circumference level (48.3 cm) of the cuff size of either the ABPM and/or office BP (OBP) measurement device used in the study;
- Night shift workers who routinely sleep during the daytime and/or whose work hours include midnight;
- Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, or alkaline phosphatase >3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or a total bilirubin greater than or equal to 2 x ULN (unless secondary to Gilbert's syndrome) at Screening or the Inclusion Visit (Day 0);
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate <45mL/min/1.73m2, as calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula at Screening or the Inclusion Visit (Day 0);
- History of any blood disorder, other than sickle cell trait, causing hemolysis or unstable red blood cells (eg, malaria, babesiosis, hemolytic anemia, thalassemia, sickle cell anemia);

Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who:
- Are poorly controlled, defined as hemoglobin A1c >8% at Screening; or
- Are taking short-acting insulin or sodium-glucose co transporter 2 inhibitors. Use of a stable dose (greater than or equal to 12 weeks prior to Screening) of medications listed in Appendix C is permitted;
- Routine or anticipated treatment with all systemic corticosteroids. Use of topical, inhaled, or nasal corticosteroids is permitted;
