  • history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). History of significant head trauma, epilepsy or other disorders increasing the risk for seizures,
  • QTcF >450 ms or <350 ms measured in sinus rhythm at randomisation,

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Centre, Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Study to Assess the Effects on Atrial and Ventricular Refractoriness of an Intravenous Infusion of AZD2927 in Patients Undergoing an Invasive Electrophysiological Procedure

Medical Products Agency

Read the detailed description
  • A Multi-Centre, Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Study to Assess the Effects on Atrial and Ventricular Refractoriness of an Intravenous Infusion of AZD2927 in Patients Undergoing an Invasive Electrophysiological Procedure.
  • The study has an adaptive design. In the 1st dose group the planned number of randomised patients is 24. The tentative number of randomised patients in the optional 2nd dose group is 12, 24 or 36 and thus a total maximum of 60 patients will be randomised in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Left Atrial Effective Refractory Period

    Change in LAERP from before IP infusion to 1st and 2nd assessments during IP infusion

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Ventricular Effective Refractory Period

    Change in VERP from before IP infusion to 1st and 2nd assessments during IP infusion

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  2. Paced QT Interval

    Change in CS Paced QT interval (P600 MS) from before and after IP infusion during electrophysiological measurements

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  3. Atrio-ventricular Effective Refractory Period

    Change from observation before IP infusion to during 1st and 2nd LAERP Mean

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  4. PA Interval

    Reflects intra-atrial conduction and is defined as the interval from the onset of the P wave in the surface ECG to the onset of atrial activation (A) in the His bundle electrogram. Change from observation before IP infusion to 30 min after IP start

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  5. AH Interval

    Change from observation before IP infusion to 30 mins after IP start. AH interval- the conduction time from the low right atrium at the inter-atrial septum through the AV node to the His bundle, ie, intra-nodal conduction time.

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  6. HV Interval

    Change from observation before IP infusion to 30 mins after IP start. HV interval - represents conduction time from the proximal His bundle to the ventricular myocardium, ie, infra-nodal conduction time.

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  7. PR Interval

    Interval from the onset of the P-wave to the start of the QRS complex. Change from observation before IP infusion to 6 to 8 hours and 20 to 24 hours after IP infusion

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  8. QRS Duration

    Change from observation before IP infusion to 6 to 8 hours and 20 to 24 hours after IP infusion

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

  9. RR Interval

    Change from observation before IP infusion to 6 to 8 hours and 20 to 24 hours after IP infusion

    Measured: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD2927 in people with Arrhythmia, run by AstraZeneca at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 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 27 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Sweden, Norway. 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 phase mean?

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 23 Oct 2012). 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?

Left Atrial Effective Refractory Period (time frame: Baseline to last assessment during IP infusion). 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 27 Nov 2012.
