clinical effect of ampreloxetine (td-9855) for treating symptomatic noh in subjects with primary autonomic failure

Conditions: Symptomatic Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension

Summary: a phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ampreloxetine (td-9855) in subjects with primary autonomic failures (msa, pd, or paf) and symptomatic noh with up to 4 weeks of treatment.

a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ampreloxetine (td-9855) in subjects with primary autonomic failures (msa, pd, or paf) and symptomatic noh. the study consists of 3 periods: (i) 4-week screening, (ii) 4-week randomized treatment, and (iii) 2-week follow up. the trial utilizes an operational design featuring the ability to conduct protocol required visits as either in clinic or remote visits (except screening visit).

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: * subject is male or female and at least 30 years old. * subject must meet the diagnostic criteria of symptomatic noh, as demonstrated by a sustained reduction in bp of ≥20 mm hg (systolic) or ≥10 mm hg (diastolic) within 3 minutes of being tilted-up to ≥60o from a supine position as determined by a tilt-table test. * subject must score at least a 4 on the orthostatic hypotension symptom assessment question #1 at randomization visit. * for subjects with pd only: subject has a diagnosis of pd according to the united kingdom parkinson's disease society (ukpds) brain bank criteria (1992). * for subjects with msa only: subject has a diagnosis of possible or probable msa of the parkinsonian subtype (msa-p) or cerebellar subtype (msa-c) according to the gilman criteria (2008). * for subjects with paf only: subject has documented impaired autonomic reflexes, including the valsalva maneuver performed within 24 months from the date of randomization. * subject has plasma ne levels \>100 pg/ml after being in seated position for 30 minutes. exclusion criteria: * subject has a known systemic illness known to produce autonomic neuropathy, including but not limited to amyloidosis, and autoimmune neuropathies. * subject has a known intolerance to other nris or snris. * subject currently uses concomitant antihypertensive medication for the treatment of essential hypertension unrelated to autonomic dysfunction. * subject has used strong cyp1a2 inhibitors or inducers within 7 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to randomization or requires concomitant use until the follow-up visit. * subject has changed dose, frequency, or type of prescribed medication for orthostatic hypotension within 7 days prior to v1. * midodrine and droxidopa (if applicable) must be tapered off at least 7 days prior to v1. * subject has a known or suspected alcohol or substance abuse within the past 12 months (dsm-iv-tr® definition of alcohol or substance abuse). * subject has a clinically unstable coronary artery disease, or major cardiovascular or neurological event in the past 6 months. * subject has used any monoamine oxidase inhibitor (mao-i) within 14 days prior to randomization. * subject has a history of untreated closed angle glaucoma, or treated closed angle glaucoma that, in the opinion of an ophthalmologist, might result in an increased risk to the subject. * subject has any significant uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia. * subject has a montreal cognitive assessment (moca) ≤23. * subject had a myocardial infarction in the past 6 months or has current unstable angina. * subject has known congestive heart failure (new york heart association \[nyha\] class 3 or 4). * subject has a clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings (e.g., alanine aminotransferase \[alt\] or aspartate aminotransferase \[ast\] \>3.0 x upper limit of normal \[uln\]; blood bilirubin \[total\] \>1.5 x uln; estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr) \<30 ml/min/1.73m2, or any abnormal laboratory value that could interfere with safety of the subject). * subject has demonstrated a history of lifetime suicidal ideation and/or suicidal behavior, as outlined by the c-ssrs (columbia suicide severity rating scale) (baseline/screening version) subject should be assessed by the rater for risk of suicide and the subject's appropriateness for inclusion in the study.
