Summary

This trial tests a new drug, S48168 (ARM210), for people with a heart condition called CPVT1. The drug aims to fix faulty heart cell channels caused by genetic mutations, helping patients live normal lives without dangerous heart rhythms.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of CPVT1 and related symptoms, who can follow the study plan and are not pregnant or breastfeeding. They must have a BMI ≤ 36 kg/m2, no recent drug abuse, controlled diabetes if present, no significant heart issues in the past five years, and agree to avoid certain medications and blood donations before and during the trial.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing S48168 (ARM210), which aims to fix leaky calcium channels caused by CPVT1 mutations that lead to dangerous heart rhythms. Participants will either receive this new drug or a placebo without knowing which one they're getting to compare effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for S48168 (ARM210) aren't listed here, common ones for new drugs targeting heart conditions may include dizziness, headache, nausea, potential allergic reactions or changes in blood pressure or heart rhythm.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
The effect of S48168 (ARM210) treatment on the amount and complexity of exercise-• Change in ectopy score from baseline to Day 28 versus placebo (pre-dose Period 1 baseline to Day 28 Period 1 versus Day 28 Period 2

Other Research
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a condition characterized by abnormal heart rhythms triggered by physical activity or stress, often due to mutations in the Ryanodine Receptor (RyR2) calcium release channels. These mutations cause the channels to become 'leaky,' leading to abnormal calcium handling in heart cells, which can precipitate dangerous arrhythmias. Treatments for CPVT aim to stabilize these channels and prevent arrhythmias. Beta-blockers are commonly used to reduce the heart's response to adrenaline, thereby lowering the risk of arrhythmias. Flecainide, an antiarrhythmic drug, can also be used to block abnormal electrical activity. The novel drug S48168 (ARM210) specifically targets and repairs the leaky RyR2 channels, addressing the root cause of CPVT. This mechanism is crucial as it directly corrects the defective calcium handling, potentially offering a more effective and targeted treatment option for CPVT patients.
