Can a Gene-Silencing drug tame a rare heart disease?
NCT ID NCT07738107
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests an investigational medicine called ATR 1072 in adults with PRKAG2 syndrome, a genetic condition that causes abnormal heart muscle thickening and rhythm problems. The drug is designed to reduce the activity of the faulty PRKAG2 gene. Researchers are evaluating its safety, how the body processes it, and whether it can improve measures of heart disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ATR 1072, an investigational siRNA therapy given by IV infusion to reduce PRKAG2 gene expression
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a targeted treatment that slows or reverses heart damage in PRKAG2 syndrome, potentially reducing the need for heart transplants.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The therapy may not work for everyone and could have side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults 18 to 65 years of age. 2. Pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variant of uncertain significance (VUS) in PRKAG2 confirmed by genetic testing. 3. Clinical manifestations consistent with PRKAG2 Syndrome. 4. Able and willing to comply with study procedures. 5. Able and willing to undergo endomyocardial biopsy procedures (Part A) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 2. Significant hepatic, renal, hematologic, or cardiovascular abnormalities that may increase study risk. 3. NYHA Class IV heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction \<45%. 4. Recent clinically significant cardiovascular events or procedures. 5.
