Brief Summary:
This is an exploratory Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of RVT-1201 in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Drug: RVT-1201 Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is an exploratory Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of RVT-1201 in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Study participation for each patient will last approximately 3 months and will consist of a screening period (up to 28 days in duration), a baseline period (day 1, pre-dose), a 6-week treatment period, and a 2-week follow-up period.

The study will enroll approximately 36 patients at approximately 20 centers across the United States and Canada.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 3 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

Following screening assessments, PAH patients who meet all entrance criteria will be randomly assigned to receive one of the following treatments in a ratio of 2:1:

  • Arm 1 (n=24) - RVT-1201 Treatment: RVT-1201 immediate-release tablets will be administered orally, at a dose of 600 mg twice daily (BID), for a total of 6 weeks in addition to the patient's current standard of care (SOC) medication(s) for PAH.
  • Arm 2 (n=12) - Placebo Treatment: Matching placebo tablets will be administered orally, at a dose of 600 mg twice daily (BID), for a total of 6 weeks in addition to the patient's current SOC medication(s) for PAH.

Participants will be followed in face-to-face visits with trial personnel every 2 weeks for 8 weeks (6 weeks of treatment plus a 2-week follow-up), with an additional phone call at Week 1, to assess drug effects and monitor safety during their treatments.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adverse events (AEs) and discontinuations due to AEs [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
    Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), drug-related adverse events (AEs), and discontinuations due to AEs


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Concentration of biomarkers of serotonin biosynthesis in plasma [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
    Absolute concentrations and percent change from baseline in plasma 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and plasma 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, also known as serotonin) concentrations

  2. Concentration of biomarkers of serotonin biosynthesis in urine [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
    Concentration of urine 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) will be normalized against urine creatinine concentration to determine absolute ratio and percent change from baseline in urine 5-HIAA:creatinine ratio

  3. Study drug (RVT-1201) and active metabolite (KAR5417) plasma concentrations [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Measured RVT-1201 and KAR5417 plasma concentrations from sparse sampling

  4. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of KAR5417 (the active metabolite of RVT-1201) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Measured KAR5417 plasma concentrations from sparse sampling will be used to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter AUC of KAR5417 administered twice daily in patients with PAH, by means of population PK (PopPK) analysis

  5. Relationship between KAR5417 exposure and percent change from baseline in plasma concentrations of the serotonin-related biomarkers [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Evaluate the relationship between exposure (area under the plasma concentration versus time curve [AUC]) of KAR5417 (the active metabolite of RVT-1201) and percent change from baseline in plasma concentrations of the serotonin-related biomarkers (5-HIAA and 5-HT)

  6. Relationship between KAR5417 exposure and percent change from baseline in urine concentrations of the serotonin-related biomarkers [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Evaluate the relationship between exposure (area under the plasma concentration versus time curve [AUC]) of KAR5417 (the active metabolite of RVT-1201) and percent change from baseline in urine 5-HIAA:creatinine concentration ratio
