A Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Effectiveness of Eleclazine on Shortening the QT Interval in Adults with Long QT-3 Syndrome

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of eleclazine for shortening  the corrected QT interval in adults with type 3 long QT syndrome.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals with an established diagnosis of LQT3 (by genotype testing) made at least 6 months prior to screening
  • Mean (of triplicate) QTc interval ≥ 480 msec (or ≥ 460 msec, for individuals who are currently taking ranolazine or Class I antiarrhythmic drugs such as mexiletine) at 4 or more time points, determined by standard 12-lead ECG, at screening

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known mutations associated with type 1 long QT syndrome (LQT1) or type 2 long QT syndrome (LQT2)
  • Known or suspected history of seizures or epilepsy
  • History of heart failure defined as New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV and/or known left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45%
  • Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 36 kg/m^2 at screening
  • Severe renal impairment at screening (defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73m^2, using the 4 Variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation, as determined by the study center)
  • Abnormal liver function tests at screening, defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN
  • An aborted cardiac arrest, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation, syncopal episode, or appropriate ICD therapy within 3 months prior to screening
  • Any other condition or circumstance that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude compliance with the study protocol
