Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this early-stage clinical study is to demonstrate an effect of single doses of CK-2017357 on measures of skeletal muscle function and fatigability in patients with peripheral artery disease and symptomatic claudication.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Placebo
  • Drug: 375 mg CK-2017357
  • Drug: 500 mg CK-2017357
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study is a Phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, three-way crossover design of two single doses of CK-2017357 in patients with peripheral artery disease and symptomatic claudication. 36 to 72 patients will be randomized at approximately 15 study centers to one of six different treatment sequences. Each treatment sequence consists of three dosing periods in which patients receive single oral doses of placebo, 375 mg and 500 mg of CK-2017357. All six treatment sequences will enroll approximately the same number of patients. A wash out period of at least 6 days (to a maximum of 10 days) will be employed between the individual doses for each patient. This study is designed to assess the effects of CK-2017357 on measures of endurance/fatigue, work output, and walking capacity. The PK and PD relationship of CK-2017357 after two single doses will be assessed versus placebo, and the CK-2017357 concentration versus time data obtained in this study may be used to develop a population PK model to estimate intra- and inter-patient variability of PK parameters in patients with claudication.

      Heel raises will be monitored by an electrogoniometer placed on the index leg and performed once every other second until onset of claudication pain or fatigue as determined by electrogoniometry

    2. Effect of single dose of CK-2017357 on number of contractions, time and work to intolerable claudication pain or maximal calf muscle fatigue [1 day]

      Heel raises will be monitored by an electrogoniometer placed on the index leg and performed once every other second until limited by intolerable claudication pain or fatigue as determined by electrogoniometry

    3. Effect of single dose of CK-2017357 on Six-Minute Walk Test [1 day]

    2. Characterize the relationship, if any, between the plasma concentrations of CK-2017357 and number of contractions, time and work to intolerable claudication pain or maximal calf muscle fatigue during bilateral heel raises [1 day]

      Bilateral heel raise assessments will be paired with PK concentrations obtained at or near the same time as the bilateral heel raises assessments and analyzed for concentration related effects

    3. Characterize the relationship, if any, between the plasma concentrations of CK-2017357 and Six-Minute Walk Test [1 day]

      Six-Minute Walk Test will be paired with PK concentrations obtained at or near the same time Six Minute Walk Test and analyzed for concentration related effects

    4. Number of patients with adverse events [4 weeks]
