Safety and Efficacy of Vanoxerine for the Conversion of Subjects With Recent Onset Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter to Normal Sinus Rhythm
- Conditions
- Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter
- Interventions
- Drug: Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT02454283
- Lead Sponsor
- Laguna Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
- Brief Summary
LGN-VN-003 is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single oral dose of vanoxerine for the conversion of subjects with recent onset atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL) to normal sinus rhythm. Up to 625 subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion so at least 400 vanoxerine and 200 placebo subjects receive study drug.
