Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of perhexiline on exercise performance (efficacy) and safety in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and moderate-to-severe heart failure following dosing for 16 weeks.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic, Familial Drug: Perhexiline Device: Use of bioanalytical assay to monitor plasma levels of perhexiline Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and symptoms without severe outflow obstruction will be eligible to participate. Enrollment will be limited to subjects who are unable to attain 75% of their maximum predicted MVO2 at cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Subjects with genetic evidence of CYP2D6 poor metabolizer status will be excluded.

Subjects will undergo functional testing at baseline with CPEX testing and 6 minute walk distance testing. They will begin perhexiline orally, and the dose will be adjusted according to plasma level testing. For the first 8 week period, the target therapeutic range will be 100-300 ng/mL, and for the second 8 week period, the range will be 300-500 ng/mL. Functional testing will be repeated at the end of both periods.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Perhexiline
Perhexiline will be administered orally. Dosing will be determined based on plasma level monitoring. For the first 8 week period, the target range will be 100-300 ng/mL, for the second 8 week period, the target range will be 300-500 ng/mL.
 Drug: Perhexiline
Period 1 (Weeks 1-8) and Period 2 (Weeks 9-16): dose titrated to two different plasma levels of perhexiline

Device: Use of bioanalytical assay to monitor plasma levels of perhexiline
The bioanalytical assay is the device under investigation. It will be used to monitor plasma levels of perhexiline. The data obtained from this analysis will be used to guide dose adjustments of perhexiline.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline of VO2MAX at 16 Weeks [ Time Frame: end of Period 2 (Week 16) ]
    At the conclusion of 16 weeks of perhexiline treatment, MVO2 was measured using CPEX and compared to MVO2 measured at baseline.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline of VO2MAX at End of Period 1 [ Time Frame: end of Period 1 (Week 8) ]
    At the conclusion of 8 weeks of perhexiline treatment, MVO2 was measured using CPEX and compared to MVO2 measured at baseline.

  2. Change From Baseline in the Six-minute Walk Test at the End of Period 2 [ Time Frame: end of Period 2 (Week 16) ]
    At the conclusion of 16 weeks of perhexiline treatment, 6MWD was measured and compared to 6MWD measured at baseline.

  3. Change From Baseline in the Six-minute Walk Test at the End of Period 1 [ Time Frame: end of Period 1 (Week 8) ]
    At the conclusion of 8 weeks of perhexiline treatment, 6MWD was measured and compared to 6MWD measured at baseline.
