About this trial

A randomized, placebo-controlled, participant-and investigator-blinded study to evaluate the efficacy in reducing atrial fibrillation burden as well as the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of PKN605 in participants with atrial fibrillation

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Inclusions at Screening

Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study

Male and female participants ≥ 18 years of age

History of at least 2 episodes of AF (atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter), at least one episode must be atrial fibrillation

Disqualifiers

Permanent AF

Ongoing reversible causes of AF (e.g., hyperthyroidism, myocarditis, acute alcohol, sepsis- or infection related AF, surgery-related AF, pulmonary embolism)

Ongoing use of antiarrhythmic therapy (Vaughan Williams class I or III anti-arrhythmic therapy must be discontinued at least 7 days before Screening phase ECG patch monitor; amiodarone must be discontinued at least 6 weeks before Screening phase ECG patch monitor)

History of an AF ablation procedure without a recurrence of AF at least 2 or more months after the ablation.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

2

Presence of atrial fibrillation recurrence after randomization

Defined as presence of (or absence) of atrial fibrillation recurrence after randomization detected by ECG patch monitor, 12-lead ECG, handheld ECG, or other protocol approved method for ascertainment individually and as a composite

Time frame
24 weeks
3

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: concentration

PKN605 plasma concentration

Time frame
