Study Summary

This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 clinical study to confirm the safety and efficacy of T89 in patients with stable angina pectoris, with an extended open-label period to evaluate the long-term safety of T89. This study includes three main periods: the first study period is a 3-week single-blind qualifying run-in period to screen eligible stable angina patients by exercise tolerance test (ETT). The second study period is a 8-week double-blind treatment period to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T89 in patients with stable angina by ETT. And, the last study period is a 44-week open-label period to observe long-term use safety of T89.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Willing to participate and sign a written informed consent

  2. Males and females ≥ 18 and ≤90 years old.

  3. Medical history of chronic stable angina triggered by physical effort and relievedby rest or sublingual nitroglycerin.

  4. Patients who agree and in the opinion of the investigator are able to withdraw allnon-beta blocker and all non-calcium channel blocker anti-anginal medications. Forthose subjects who are on beta blockers and/or calcium channel blockers, they areable to keep only one beta blocker or one calcium channel blocker (acceptablecalcium channel blocker: amlodipine, diltiazem, verapamil or nicardipine), but notboth, and subjects agree and are expected to be able to remain on this treatmentregimen from Day -21 until the completion of the double-blind period in the opinionof the investigator.

4.1) For patients who have to modify their anti-anginal treatment regimen to meetthe above qualification criteria, health care provider who is responsible for thepatient's cardiac care (if this is not the study doctor) must provide a form ofagreement (verbal conversation, phone call, in writing or shown as referral) to thePI before the treatment modification.

4.2) For patients who are not on beta blocker or calcium channel blocker or otherantianginal medications, there is no requirement to start on antianginal medication.

*nitroglycerin tablets, only those provided by sponsor, are allowed to be used foron-demand symptomatic relief of angina during the qualifying and treatment periodsto ensure an accurate calculation of consumption.

  1. Documented history of coronary artery disease with one or more of the followingconditions:

5.1) History of previous myocardial infarction (previous MI that occurred and wasdiagnosed at least 3 months prior to start of screening).

5.2) Ischemic heart disease determined by stress myocardial imaging examination (including nuclear stress test, cardiac stress MRI and echocardiography stresstest).

5.3) Clinically significant coronary stenosis ≥50% in any vessel detected bycoronary angiography (or coronary CT angiography).

  1. Understand and be willing, able and likely to comply with all study procedures andrestrictions and comprehends the Seattle Angina Questionnaire rating scales anddiary cards.

  2. Women of child bearing potential: Female patients of child-bearing potential or malepatients with partners of child-bearing potential must use appropriate birth controlfrom the start of screening, until 3 months after the last dose of study medication.Female patients of child bearing potential must have negative pregnancy tests atscreening visit [Day -21, quantitative serum human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCGtest)] and randomization visit (Day 1, urine pregnancy test).

  3. Patient must experience two or more angina episodes from Day-14 to Day 1, as thebaseline frequency of angina. At least two of the angina episodes must be recordedby WCM (Other written forms of recording/reporting angina episodes may be acceptableonly in situations and times that recording by WCM is impractical. In addition,patients are allowed to use short acting nitroglycerin for relief of angina).

  4. To be qualified, patients must have two qualifying ETTs on standard Bruce protocolon Day- 7 and Day 1. The qualifying ETTs are:

  5. ETTs must meet the positive ETT criteria;

  6. Total exercise duration (TED) of the positive ETT is between 3-12 minutes ofexercise;

  7. The difference in TED between the two ETTs must not exceed 15% of the longerone.

  • For the qualifying ETTs, in patients with permitted baseline ST-segmentdepression at rest (<1 mm at 80 msec after the J point), qualifyingST-segment depression during ETT will be defined as additional ST-segmentdepression ≥1 mm (at 80 msec after the J point) below the resting value.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with only non-cardiac chest pain or cardiac chest pain not related toangina.

  2. Patients with contraindication to, unable to, or with other co-morbidities that mayprevent or interfere with the ability to perform ETT, in the opinion ofinvestigator, including but not limited to: hospitalization for acute exacerbationof chronic lung disease within 4 weeks prior to the start of screening, current homeoxygen use, needs for cardiac glycoside therapy, functionally limiting peripheralarterial disease, physical disability or other intercurrent illness such as acuterespiratory infection/illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator orSub-investigator, may interfere with the ability to perform ETT.

  3. Patients with presence of electrographic or other abnormalities/factors that couldinterfere with exercise ECG interpretation or may lead to a false positive stresstest (including but not limited to, Lown-Ganong-Levine Syndrome (LGL),Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), left bundle branch block, ≥1 mm ST segmentdepression at rest, pacemaker rhythm etc.).

*Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) without repolarization abnormalities is notconsidered an exclusion criterion.

  1. Patients with history of any coronary revascularization procedure (e.g. PCI or CABG)within 2 months prior to the start of screening.

  2. Patients who had unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the recent 3months prior to the start of screening.

Study Description

After signing the consent, patients will enter the single blind qualifying run-in period for 3 weeks. All prophylactic anti-anginal medications will be withdrawn except no more than one beta blocker or one calcium channel blocker (CCB) to remain. If patients can tolerate the withdrawal of the multiple anti-anginal medications, the dose of the remained one beta blocker or one CCB will be kept unchanged until the double-blind treatment period ends. In this study period, patients will have two exercise tolerance tests (ETTs) on standard Bruce protocol, conducted one week apart. Sublingual nitroglycerin is allowed for symptomatic relief of angina attack.

After screening, eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of the three double-blind treatments: high dose T89 of 300 mg, bid, low dose T89 of 225 mg, bid, or placebo, in a 1:1:1 ratio. Each patient will be instructed to administer assigned treatment twice daily for 8 weeks. ETTs will be performed at the end of week 6 and 8 of treatment, or end of treatment (EOT) if study patient discontinues study prematurely.

Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) will be used to record patients' quality of life. Clinical evaluations and adverse event monitoring will be assessed throughout the study. Laboratory tests will be performed at screening and the designated visits.

Once the treatment period is completed, patients will enter the extended open label safety assessment period for a further 44 weeks. During this period, all patients will receive T89 at a daily dose of 600 mg, and they can resume their original anti-anginal medications as needed.
