Safety and Efficacy of AT-001 in Patients With Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Diabetic Cardiomyopathies
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT04083339
Lead Sponsor
Applied Therapeutics, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-part study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AT-001 in adult patients (N=675) with Diabetic Cardiomyopathy at high risk of progression to overt heart failure.

Detailed Description

The study consists of two consecutive parts: Part A and Part B. Part A will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of AT-001 vs placebo. The primary objective of Part A is to demonstrate that AT-001 improves or prevents the decline of functional capacity in patients with Diabetic Cardiomyopathy. Part B is an extension of at least 12 months that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of chronic administration of AT-001 vs placebo in the same patients who had previously been evaluated in Part A. Assessments in Part B will include safety endpoints and exploratory clinical efficacy endpoints, i.e. death and hospitalization due to a cardiac event.

GroupInterventionDescription
AT-001 Low DoseAT-001The total daily doses will be of 2g. The dose selection and the frequency of dosing was based on the results of the phase 1/2 study demonstrating that 2g/day of AT-001 is capable of producing a sufficient inhibition of the production of sorbitol (a pharmacodynamic biomarker of biological activity).
Placebo ComparatorPlaceboPlacebo capsules will be used as comparator
AT-001 High doseAT-001The total daily doses will be of 3g. The dose selection and the frequency of dosing was based on the results of the phase 1/2 study demonstrating that 3g/day of AT-001 is capable of producing the maximum inhibition of the production of sorbitol (a pharmacodynamic biomarker of biological activity).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Peak VO2 during cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET);15 months after randomization]

Changes in Peak VO2 during cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET) from baseline to approximately Month 15 (15-18 months). A CPET may be repeated at approximately Month 27 (27-30 months).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression to overt heart failure (Stage C Heart Failure)27 months after randomization

Defined by the occurrence of one of the following events: cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, urgent heart failure visit, new diagnosis of heart failure

Changes in NT-proBNP27 months after randomization

Changes in NT-proBNP may reflect worsening of cardiomyopathy over time

Changes in the modified Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score27 months after randomization

Changes in the modified KCCQ may reflect deterioration of clinical status over time
