About this study

Official title: A 12-week, Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-centre, Parallel Group, Phase IIa Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Oral AZD5718 After 4 and 12-weeks of Treatment in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study in patients with CAD. The study will be conducted at approximately 10 centres in 3 countries. Approximately 138 CAD patients will be randomized to AZD5718 or placebo (treatment duration 12 weeks).

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study in patients with CAD. The study will be conducted at approximately 10 centres in 3 countries (Denmark, Finland and Sweden).

Patients suitable for the study will be identified and screened for eligibility after being hospitalized for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) (Visit 1) comprising ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) or Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (non-STEMI). At Visit 1, after signing informed consent, study measurements will take place at days 1, 2, 3 and 5 post ACS, where feasible. It is planned that approximately 138 CAD patients will be randomized to ensure at least 66 evaluable patients receiving AZD5718 Dose B or placebo are included with 12 weeks treatment. For supporting dose selection in future studies, a treatment arm with 28 randomized patients receiving AZD5718 Dose A is included in the study. The study was originally designed to be a 4-week study and was amended to be a 12-week study. Therefore, the total number of patients is greater than required for a 12 weeks study (about 100), since some patients will only have 4 weeks of treatment.

An evaluable patient is defined as a patient with a valid Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve (CFVR) measurement at Visit 2 and one post baseline visit as judged by the CFVR Core lab.

On Day 1 (Visit 2), 7 to 28 days after the ACS event, patients willing to participate in the study will complete the screening procedure and, if eligible, be randomized. Treatment duration will be 12 weeks. During the treatment phase, patients will come in to the clinic for study measurements at 2 weeks (visit 3), 4 weeks (visit 4), 8 weeks (visit 4b) and 12 weeks (visit 4c).

A follow-up visit (Visit 5) will be performed at 4 weeks (±4 days) after last dose in order to ensure safety and well-being of the patients

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Creatinine-normalized u-LTE4 at Week 4

    Creatinine-normalized u-LTE4 is calculated as uLTE4/creatinine

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change From Baseline in Creatinine-normalized u-LTE4 at Week 12

    Creatinine-normalized u-LTE4 is calculated as uLTE4/creatinine

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in CFVR at Week 12

    CFVR = Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve = LAD(hyperaemic)/LAD(rest)

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline in CFVR at Week 4

    CFVR = Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve = LAD(hyperaemic)/LAD(rest)

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

  4. Summary of Plasma Concentrations of AZD5718

    Measured: 16 weeks

  5. Change From Baseline in LAD Hypereamic Flow at 4 Weeks

    LAD=Left Anterior Descending

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

  6. Change From Baseline in LVEF at 4 Weeks

    LVEF=Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

  7. Change From Baseline in LV Longitudinal Early Diastolic Strain Rate at 4 Weeks

    LV=Left Ventricular

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

  8. Change From Baseline in LV-GLS at Rest at Week 4

    LV-GLS = Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

  9. Change From Baseline in LV-GCS at Rest at Week 4

    LV-GCS = Left Ventricular Global Circumferential Strain

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

  10. Change From Baseline in LAD Resting Mean Diastolic Flow Velocity at 4 Weeks

    LAD=Left Anterior Descending

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD5718 in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 9 sites in 3 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 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 30 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Sweden, Denmark, Finland. 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 30 Jun 2021). 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 From Baseline in Creatinine-normalized u-LTE4 at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03317002, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 5 Nov 2026.
