A Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of NS-229 in the Treatment of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

List of Studies

Keywords
Autoimmune disease, Drug Studies, Inflammation, Rare Diseases
Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether a drug called NS-229 (the study drug) is a potential treatment for patients with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis (EGPA).

NS-229 is an investigational drug that is provided in an oral pill form. An investigational drug is not approved by The US Food and Drug Administration. It can only be used in a research study like this one. In this study, NS-229 will be compared with a placebo (dummy drug), having no active drug in it. This is a randomized study, meaning that you will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either the study drug or placebo. The study is also double-blinded study, meaning you and your study doctor will not know what you are receiving, the NS-229 or placebo.

The study is sponsored by a NS Pharma, Inc. Participation in the study will require 12 visits to the MUSC main campus over approximately 8 months. Visits are much like the your standard of care and include the following procedures: blood draw, urine collection, physician-led assessments of your disease (for example physical exam and medical history review), tests to assess your lung function and health (Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and spirometry, health questionnaires. You will also be asked to complete a daily diary regarding your medication use and vasculitis symptoms.

Compensation is available for participation

A Phase 3, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Aficamten Compared to Placebo in Adults with Symptomatic Non-Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

List of Studies

Keywords
Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM). nHCM is typically a genetic condition in which the main pumping chamber of the heart (called the left ventricle) becomes abnormally thickened and stiff, which makes it harder for the ventricle to fill and pump out enough blood. This study involves the investigational medication Aficamten, which means it is not approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration. (FDA) Aficamten is designed to reduced excessive heart pumping function. This is a randomized study which means all subjects are assigned to receive either Aficamten or placebo. Subjects have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either group, but will not know which group they are assigned. Placebo looks like the medication but does not have any active ingredients in it. Study procedures include exercise testing, echocardiograms (ultrasound test of the heart), blood work, questionnaires and genetic testing. Study risks include risks associated with the study medication including decreased heart pumping, nausea, headache and dizziness. There are also study procedure related risks, and the risk of loss of confidentiality. There may be no benefit but the information learned may benefit others in the future. Study participation will last between 10.5 and 19 months and include up to 13 visits to the study site. Visits will generally last 2-3 hours.
