Conditions: Angina Pectoris Coronary Heart Disease Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide Receptor
Keywords: angina pectoris coronary artery disease calcitonin gene-related peptide exercise tolerance,
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: CROSSOVER
Enrollment: 64
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This study will assess the safety of telcagepant in coronary artery disease (CAD) participants with stable angina during exercise treadmill testing and evaluate whether calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonism by telcagepant reduces exercise tolerance in these participants. Primary hypothesis is that telcagepant does not significantly decrease exercise duration compared to placebo, as measured by a treadmill exercise test; that is, the true treatment difference in exercise duration (MK-0974 - Placebo) \>= -60 seconds.

Detailed description:
Amendment 3 of the protocol reduced the dose of telcagepant to be administered from a single dose of 900 mg to a single dose of 600 mg. Pooled data from both the 600-mg and the 900-mg group wiil be utilized in the analyses. Also due to supply issues regarding the 300 mg telcagepant capsules, 280 mg telcagepant tablets with demonstrated bioequivalence to the 300 mg telcagepant capsules, could be administered to participants enrolled after the implementation of Amendment 3.

Arms:
arm 1: Participants receive single oral dose of 600 mg (two 300 mg capsules or two bioequivalent 280 mg tablets) or 900 mg telcagepant (three 300 mg capsules) in Period 1 and single oral dose of two capsules or tablets of placebo for telcagepant (or three capsules of placebo for telcagepant) in Period 2 of the crossover. Each treatment period is separated by a washout of 96-240 hours. arm 2: Participants receive single oral dose of two capsules or tablets of placebo for telcagepant (or three capsules of placebo for telcagepant) in Period 1 and a single oral dose of 600 mg (two 300 mg capsules or two bioequivalent 280 mg tablets) or 900 mg telcagepant (three 300 mg capsules) in Period 2 of the crossover. Each treatment period is separated by a washout of 96-240 hours.

Interventions: intervention 1: telcagepant intervention 2: Placebo to telcagepant
