About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Effects of a Novel Myeloperoxidase Inhibitor With Exercise in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction - A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Proof of Principle Study

Researchers are studying the effect of a single dose of oral myeloperoxidase on heart failure versus placebo.

Read the detailed description

Enroll subjects with a normal ejection fraction referred to the catheterization laboratory for evaluation of breathlessness or shortness of breath. Perform safety lab sampling, echocardiography, arterial tonometry for pulse wave analysis, and assessment of endothelial function prior to administration of study drug. During the catheterization researchers will perform blood draws, assess baseline exercise capacity at rest and during exercise. Researchers will also do an echocardiogram to take measurements of the heart. Subjects will be randomized to one of two groups, Oral Myeloperoxidase Inhibitor or placebo group. Study drug or placebo will be administered followed by a repeat of the baseline catheterization assessments. At the conclusion of the second exercise test the subject will be moved to a room and monitored overnight for safety. Repeat blood draws, echocardiogram, endothelial function test, and heart monitoring will be completed. The subject will be asked to follow up with the researchers between 9-14 days after the study drug dosage. The subjects history and blood work will be completed at that visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Exercise Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP)

    Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) provides an indirect estimate of left atrial pressure (LAP). PCWP is the pressure measured by wedging a pulmonary catheter with an inflated balloon into a small pulmonary arterial branch. The exercise PCWP values are obtained at 20 Watt workload, measured in mmHg.

    Measured: Baseline, approximately 30 minutes after study drug administration

  2. Exercise Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP)

    Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) provides an indirect estimate of left atrial pressure (LAP). PCWP is the pressure measured by wedging a pulmonary catheter with an inflated balloon into a small pulmonary arterial branch. The exercise PCWP values are obtained at 20 Watt workload, measured in mmHg.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in Resting Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP)

    Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) provides an indirect estimate of left atrial pressure (LAP). PCWP is the pressure measured by wedging a pulmonary catheter with an inflated balloon into a small pulmonary arterial branch while in resting state, measured in mmHg.

    Measured: Baseline, approximately 30 minutes after study drug administration

  2. Change in Exercise Central Pressures

    Exercise values after receiving study drug minus exercise values before study drug, obtained at 20 Watt workload, measured in mmHg.

    Measured: Baseline, approximately 30 minutes after study drug administration

  3. Change in Resting Central Pressures

    Resting values after receiving study drug minus resting values before study drug, measured in mmHg.

    Measured: Baseline, approximately 30 minutes after study drug administration

  4. Change in Exercise Transmyocardial Lactate Ratio

    Obtained at 20 Watt workload, determined by the lactate extraction ratio, which is calculated as lactate arterial minus lactate coronary sinus (CS) divided by lactate arterial. Negative values are indicative of myocardial ischemia.

    Measured: Baseline, approximately 30 minutes after drug administration

  5. Change in Resting Transmyocardial Lactate Ratio

    Obtained during resting state, determined by the lactate extraction ratio, which is calculated as lactate arterial minus lactate coronary sinus (CS) divided by lactate arterial. Negative values are indicative of myocardial ischemia.

    Measured: Baseline, approximately 30 minutes after drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AZD4831 Oral Myeloperoxidase Inhibitor in people with Heart Failure, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jan 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Exercise Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP) (time frame: Baseline, approximately 30 minutes after study drug administration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jan 2025.
