AB-1002 gene therapy expressing active protein phosphatase inhibitor-1 in heart failure: rationale and study design of the GenePHIT trial

Eur J Heart FailPublished Randomised controlled trial

Study context

Population
Adults with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, LVEF 15%-35% and NYHA class III symptoms despite standard of carerandomised 1:1:1
Planned comparison
AB-1002 vs placebo
  • AB-1002 7.15E13n = 30-50
  • AB-1002 1.43E14n = 30-50
  • Placebon = 30-50reference
Primary endpoint
Hierarchical composite of:
  1. CV death
  2. Change in NYHA class
  3. LVEF improvement ≥5%
  4. 6-minute walk test improvement >30m
pooled active doses vs placebo by win ratio (Finkelstein-Schoenfeld)
Follow-up
52 weeks
