Trial overview

Official title: A multi-center, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety of GSK716155 and its effects on myocardial metabolism, myocardial function, and exercise capacity in patients with NYHA Class II/III congestive heart failure
Trial description: This exploratory proof of concept study will be conducted in patients with stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III heart failure. The focus of the efficacy endpoints is to test the hypothesis that GSK716155 administration will increase glucose uptake and utilization in the myocardium, resulting in increased myocardial efficiency and increased exercise capacity. A positive result, defined as either statistically significant effects on one or more of the efficacy endpoints or as an overall signal suggesting a clinically relevant effect on myocardial physiology, would provide evidence for potential progression into further development in a chronic heart failure population.

    Inclusion and exclusion criteria
    Inclusion criteria:
    • Chronic dilated cardiomyopathy of ischemic or non-ischemic origin
    • Clinically stable on optimal therapies for at least 3 months prior to screening/baseline visit.
    • Left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40% as assessed by any measurement in the previous 24 months.
    • NYHA Class II/III heart failure for a minimum of 6 months prior to enrolment
    • Male or female between 21 and 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. However the optimal age range for this study will be 40 to 65 years of age.
    • A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of: Non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 MlU/ml and estradiol < 40 pg/ml (<140 pmol/L) is confirmatory]. Child-bearing potential and agrees to use one of the contraception methods listed in Section 8.1 for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point.
