Experimental POTS drug targets racing heart in first human test
NCT ID NCT06593600
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a single dose of an experimental drug called REGN7544 in 82 people with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The goal is to see if the drug safely reduces the rapid heart rate that happens when standing up. Researchers will also check for side effects and how the drug moves through the body.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Is diagnosed with POTS and demonstrates consensus criteria (a), (b), (c) and (d) below during screening: 1. Increase in HR ≥30 Beats Per Minute (BPM) within 10 minutes of changing from supine to a standing position, as described in the protocol 2. Absence of orthostatic hypotension, defined as a decrease in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) \>20 mm Hg within 3 minutes of standing 3. Absence of other conditions explaining orthostatic tachycardia in the judgment of the investigator, as defined in the protocol 4. Ongoing episodic symptoms consistent with POTS (for example, lightheadedness, palpitations, tremulousness, generalized weakness, blurred vision, and fatigue) that are worse with standing and are relieved by lying down and which have been present for ≥3 months 2. During screening, a participant must score ≥3 on the Patient Global Impressions of Severity (PGIS) 3. Has a body mass index between 18 and 35 kg/m2, inclusive Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of hypertension or a seated SBP during screening that is \>140 mm Hg 2. SBP during Active Stand (AS) test during screening, either supine or standing, that is \>140 mm Hg systolic on ≥2 measurements 3. Increase in HR \<20 BPM within 10 minutes of changing from supine to a standing position, as defined in protocol 4. Is judged by the investigator to have significant heart failure, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, or renal disease (ie, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) \<60 ml/min/1.73m2) based on medical history, physical exam, laboratory studies, and/or electrocardiogram (ECG) performed during screening period 5. Is confined to bed more than 50% of waking hours 6. Within 5 days of screening visit has used medications with direct effects on blood volume, BP, or HR (eg, midodrine, droxidopa, octreotide, clonidine, methyldopa, ivabradine, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, pyridostigmine, fludrocortisone, desmopressin, stimulants or intravenous (IV) saline) NOTE: Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply
