NCT ID NCT07267949

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether the experimental drug AP31969 can reduce the amount of time people with atrial fibrillation spend in an irregular heart rhythm. Two hundred adults with paroxysmal or persistent AF will receive either AP31969 or a placebo twice daily for several weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug lowers AF burden, measured by a heart monitor, and improves quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AP31969 (oral tablet)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new oral medication to better control atrial fibrillation and improve quality of life for patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 200 participants, so results may not confirm effectiveness or safety. The drug may not reduce AF burden more than placebo.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. * Age 18 or older. * ECG documented diagnosis of paroxysmal or persistent AF. * AF history at screening indicating an expected AF burden of 1-90%, i.e., at least 1 self-terminating AF episode within 4 months prior to the screening visit. * AF burden of ≥ 1% and ≤ 90% assessed with an ECG patch device during the screening period prior to the randomisation visit. * Investigator and participant agreement to avoid non-trial related rhythm control intervention for the duration of the trial, including: * Antiarrhythmic drug class I and/or III (including amiodarone) * Electrical or pharmacological cardioversion * AF ablation procedure * Willing to have a loop recorder implanted. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior AF ablation procedure other than pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) only. * Any of the following events within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit: Myocardial infarction, Unstable angina pectoris, Stroke or transient, ischaemic attack, Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), Peripheral revascularisation procedure. * Cardiac pacing device e.g. pacemaker and cardiac resynchronization therapy device with atrial or ventricular pacing for \> 5% of the time or existing implantable loop recorder. * Heart failure, New York Heart Association class III (3) or IV (4). * Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 40% based on imaging (e.g. echocardiography) performed within 6 months prior to or during the screening visit. * Clinically significant valvular heart disease, including severe aortic stenosis, severe mitral regurgitation and/or severe mitral stenosis, in the opinion of the investigator. * QTc (Fridericia, QTcF) interval \> 450 ms for males and \> 470 ms for females at screening. * eGFR \<60 mL/min /1.73 m² based on creatine and CKD-EPI formula * Use of antiarrhythmic drug class I and/or III within 7 days or, for amiodarone, within 3 months prior to the screening visit.
