抽象

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited heart muscle condition affecting up to 1 in 200 of the general population. It results from mutations in genes encoding components of the contractile apparatus in the heart muscle cell (myocyte). These mutations result in increased energy cost of force production for the myocyte which then cumulatively causes a myocardial energy deficit. This myocardial energy deficit is then thought to lead to cardiac hypertrophy ('left ventricular hypertrophy' or LVH) in HCM.
LVH leads to impairments in heart muscle function, heart muscle oxygenation and microvascular blood flow and is the chief driver of patient symptoms in HCM. These symptoms consist of chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting episodes or palpitations. Occasionally, the disease may cause sudden cardiac death (SCD). HCM is the most common cause of SCD in young people including competitive athletes. In addition, HCM has been found to result in significant global deterioration in health-related quality of life.
Treatment of HCM has focused on relief of symptoms by drugs such as ß-blockers which slow the heart rate and improve heart function. However, symptom relief is often incomplete and there is no evidence on the benefit of ß-blockers or related medications to reverse LVH. Perhexiline, a potent carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT-1) inhibitor shifts myocardial metabolism to more efficient glucose utilisation and rectifies impaired myocardial energetics. It is currently used to treat angina in patients with coronary artery disease. There is some preliminary evidence that Perhexiline may aid in the improvement of symptoms in patients with HCM. However, the effect of any form of therapy on potential regression of LVH in HCM remains unexplored.
In this randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial, the investigators will use state of the art cardiac imaging, principally advanced echocardiography and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) to study the effects of perhexiline on LVH, cardiac function, and oxygenation in symptomatic patients with HCM. The investigators hypothesize that perhexiline will favourably reduce LVH and improve myocardial oxygenation by improving myocardial energetics, and that these putative morphological and functional changes can be accurately measured utilizing echocardiography and CMR. If this pilot study supports the hypothesis, then it will pave the way for a major randomised controlled trial to definitely determine the role of Perhexiline in HCM.

手臂组

干预/治疗
Experimental: Perhexiline
Drug: Perhexiline
All eligible and consented patients will be randomised to initiation of perhexiline 100mg once daily or identical placebo. After 4 days of treatment, a blood sample will be collected to determine plasma perhexiline concentrations: timing of the sample need not be "trough" in view of the long-acting nature of perhexiline. Depending on the blood results, patients might require as little as 50mg/week (slow metabolisers) or as much as 600mg/day (ultra-rapid metabolisers). The initial sample will be utilized primarily to detect presence of hydroxylated metabolite: patients in whom perhexiline is detected in the absence of metabolite will be designated "slow metabolisers" and will have their dosage reduced to 50 mg/week in the first instance. Repeat assay at 30 days will be utilized for individual finer dose titration based on dose adjustment table. Paired dosage adjustment in placebo-treated patients will be performed to avoid unblinding. Compliance will be assessed by capsule count.
