Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This exploratory proof of concept study will be conducted in patients with stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III heart failure. The focus of the efficacy endpoints is to test the hypothesis that GSK716155 administration will increase glucose uptake and utilization in the myocardium, resulting in increased myocardial efficiency and increased exercise capacity. A positive result, defined as either statistically significant effects on one or more of the efficacy endpoints or as an overall signal suggesting a clinically relevant effect on myocardial physiology, would provide evidence for potential progression into further development in a chronic heart failure population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Myocardial Glucose Utilization as Assessed by [18F]Fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) Imaging [Baseline and Week 13]

    FDG-PET imaging was performed at Baseline and Week 13 to assess myocardial glucose uptake. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Based on analysis using a mixed effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) model, fitting terms for treatment, visit and interaction of treatment and visit, with participants as random effects.

  2. Change From Baseline in Myocardial Efficiency (Work Performed/Myocardial Oxygen Consumption [MVO2]) Assessed at Rest [Baseline and Week 13]

    MVO2 was estimated by measuring the rate of myocardial clearance of 11C-activity which represents overall myocardial oxidative flux through the TCA cycle. Cardiac work was measured by echocardiography and cardiac efficiency index was calculated as work (by echocardiography) divided by MVO2. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Based on analysis using a mixed effects ANOVA model, fitting terms for treatment, visit and interaction of treatment and visit, with participants as random effects.

  3. Change From Baseline in Peak Oxygen Uptake (Peak VO2) as Assessed by Bicycle Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing [Baseline and Week 13]

    Peak VO2 was measured at Baseline and Week 13. Participants performed a maximal exercise test limited by dyspnea or fatigue on a cycle ergometer. After a rest period, the workloads were increased in a step fashion by 25 watts every 3 minutes. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Based on analysis using a mixed effects ANOVA model, fitting terms for treatment, visit and interaction of treatment and visit, with participants as random effects.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) as Assessed by Echocardiogram [Baseline and Week 13]

    Echocardiography was performed at Baseline and Week 13 using pulse-wave, continuous-wave, and tissue Doppler. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  2. Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular (LV) Volumes in Systole and Diastole as Assessed by Echocardiogram [Baseline and Week 13]

    Echocardiography was performed at Baseline and Week 13 using pulse-wave, continuous-wave and tissue Doppler. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  3. Change From Baseline in LV and RV Function Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) (LVEF), Myocardial Strain Assessed by Myocardial Tagging Indices [Baseline and Week 13]

    Non-contrast CMR to assess left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction, volume, mass, and strain was performed following a period of rest after exercise testing at Baseline and after the Week 13 treatment phase. A 3Tesla magnetic resonance imagine (MRI) examination was performed including sequences for evaluation of LV structure and function. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  4. Change From Baseline in LV and RV Function Assessed by CMR (LV and RV Volumes in Systole and Diastole), Myocardial Strain Assessed by Myocardial Tagging Indices [Baseline and Week 13]

    Non-contrast CMR to assess LV and RV ejection fraction, volume, mass, and strain was performed following a period of rest after exercise testing at Baseline and after the Week 13 treatment phase. A 3Tesla magnetic resonance imagine (MRI) examination was performed including sequences for evaluation of LV structure and function. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  5. Change From Baseline in LV and RV Function Assessed by CMR (LV Mass), Myocardial Strain Assessed by Myocardial Tagging Indices [Baseline and Week 13]

    Non-contrast CMR to assess left/right ventricular ejection fraction, volume, mass, and strain was performed following a period of rest after exercise testing at Baseline and after the Week 13 treatment phase. A 3Tesla magnetic resonance imagine (MRI) examination was performed including sequences for evaluation of LV structure and function. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  6. Change From Baseline in Cardiac Energetics (PCr/ATP) Measured by 31P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) [Baseline and Week 13]

    Participants underwent a CMR scan performed on a 3 Tesla MR system at Baseline and Week 13 to assess cardiac mass, volumes (global function and dilatation), strain and torsion, cardiac and liver lipid content and cardiac energy metabolism. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  7. Change From Baseline in Cardiac and Liver Fat by Proton Spectroscopy (1H MRS) [Baseline and Week 13]

    Change in Baseline in cardiac and liver fat by proton spectroscopy was planned at Baseline and Week 13. The protocol allowed for sites to perform all or only efficacy assessments, depending on site designation, capability and feasibility. No sites that enrolled participants into this study were able to perform this outcome measure.

  8. Change From Baseline in Exercise Capacity Assessed by 6-minute Walk Test [Baseline and Week 13]

    The six minute walk test was performed at Baseline and Week 13. All participantss were given standardized instructions and the distance walked was measured. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  9. Change From Baseline in Serum N-terminal Fragment Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-BNP) Level [Change from Baseline at Week 13]

    Baseline is defined as the last available assessment on or prior to the first dose of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  10. Change From Baseline in Plasma Levels of Glucose, and Free Fatty Acids (FFA) [Baseline and Week 13]

    Blood samples for biomarker analysis of fasting levels of glucose and FFA were collected at Weeks 1, 7 and 13; glucose was also collected at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  11. Change From Baseline in Plasma Levels of Insulin [Baseline and Week 13]

    Blood samples for biomarker analysis of fasting levels of insulin were collected at Weeks 1, 7 and 13. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  12. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life as Assessed by the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire [Baseline and Week 13]

    Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire (MLHFQ) is a validated instrument to measure participant-reported quality of life at Baseline and Week 13. For each of 21 items, participants rated the effects of heart failure and its treatment on physical, socioeconomic and psychological aspects of their life. To measure the effects of symptoms, functional limitations, psychological distress on an individual's quality of life, the MLHF questionnaire asks each participant to indicate their response using a 6-point scale (ranging from 0 to 5, 0=no, 1=very little, and 5=very much). The min and max scores can range from 0 to 105. The likert scale measures the effect of heart failure and treatments for heart failure on an individual's ability to live as they want. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  13. Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Baseline and Week 13]

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Please refer to the AE/SAE section for further details.

  14. Number of Participants With Adverse Events by the Indicated Severity [Baseline and Week 13]

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Severity categories: Mild: an event that was easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities;Moderate: an event that was sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal everyday activities; Severe: an event that prevents normal everyday activities.

Title Change From Baseline in Quality of Life as Assessed by the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire
Description Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire (MLHFQ) is a validated instrument to measure participant-reported quality of life at Baseline and Week 13. For each of 21 items, participants rated the effects of heart failure and its treatment on physical, socioeconomic and psychological aspects of their life. To measure the effects of symptoms, functional limitations, psychological distress on an individual's quality of life, the MLHF questionnaire asks each participant to indicate their response using a 6-point scale (ranging from 0 to 5, 0=no, 1=very little, and 5=very much). The min and max scores can range from 0 to 105. The likert scale measures the effect of heart failure and treatments for heart failure on an individual's ability to live as they want. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
