Official Title: | Aldose Reductase Inhibition for Stabilization of Exercise Capacity in Heart Failure (ARISE-HF): A Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of AT-001 in Patients With Diabetic Cardiomyopathy |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: AT-001 High dose
The total daily doses will be of 3g. The dose selection and the frequency of dosing was based on the results of the phase 1/2 study demonstrating that 3g/day of AT-001 is capable of producing the maximum inhibition of the production of sorbitol (a pharmacodynamic biomarker of biological activity).
|
Drug: AT-001
AT-001 will be administered as 3 capsules twice daily, before breakfast and before dinner. At present AT001 is the sole name for the active substance. No INN/genetic name is available to date |
Experimental: AT-001 Low Dose
The total daily doses will be of 2g. The dose selection and the frequency of dosing was based on the results of the phase 1/2 study demonstrating that 2g/day of AT-001 is capable of producing a sufficient inhibition of the production of sorbitol (a pharmacodynamic biomarker of biological activity).

Drug: AT-001
AT-001 will be administered as 3 capsules twice daily, before breakfast and before dinner. At present AT001 is the sole name for the active substance. No INN/genetic name is available to date |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Comparator
Placebo capsules will be used as comparator

Drug: Placebo
Matching placebo will be administered as 3 capsules twice daily, before breakfast and before dinner |
- Peak VO2 during cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET); [ Time Frame: 15 months after randomization] ]Changes in Peak VO2 during cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET) from baseline to approximately Month 15 (15-18 months). A CPET may be repeated at approximately Month 27 (27-30 months).
- Progression to overt heart failure (Stage C Heart Failure) [ Time Frame: 27 months after randomization ]Defined by the occurrence of one of the following events: cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, urgent heart failure visit, new diagnosis of heart failure
- Changes in NT-proBNP [ Time Frame: 27 months after randomization ]Changes in NT-proBNP may reflect worsening of cardiomyopathy over time
- Changes in the modified Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score [ Time Frame: 27 months after randomization ]Changes in the modified KCCQ may reflect deterioration of clinical status over time
- Worsening of diabetic cardiomyopathy [ Time Frame: 15 and 27 months after randomization ]Defined by either ≥ 20% increase in NT-proBNP or ≥ 5 point decrease in the mKCCQ score
- Changes in echocardiographic parameters [ Time Frame: 27 months after randomization ]Changes assessed on cardiac ultra-sound from baseline
