Safety Study of Etripamil Nasal Spray for Patients With Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia. NODE-303
United States, Argentina, Brazil1,116 participantsStarted 2019-09-23
Plain-language summary
NODE-303 was a multi-center, open label study to evaluate the safety of etripamil NS in participants with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT). Participants were provided with an ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring System (CMS) to help document PSVT episodes. The CMS was self-applied by the participant, when they felt the onset of PSVT symptoms. Participants self-administered etripamil NS if vagal maneuver was ineffective. After an episode of PSVT where study drug was administered, the participant returned to the investigative site and had the option to continue in NODE-303 and manage up to three subsequent episodes of PSVT with etripamil NS for a maximum of four episodes.

Inclusion criteria
. Had been diagnosed with PSVT by a medical professional, and reported having at least one previous episode of PSVT. For clarity, PSVT referred to episodic Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) that included the atrioventricular (AV) node as a critical part of reentrant circuit.
. Was at least 18 years of age;
. Signed NODE-303 written informed consent
. Women of childbearing potential had to be willing to use at least 1 form of contraception during the trial, and had to be willing to discontinue from the study should they have become or planned to become pregnant. Postmenopausal females were defined as having amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to Screening without an alternative medical cause.
. Willing and able to comply with study procedures

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Number of Participants With Adverse Events for Self-administered Etripamil NS Outside of the Clinical Setting.
Timeframe: From Baseline until a maximum of 4 episodes of perceived PSVT are treated with study drug, up to a maximum duration of 40 months.
. Participants with only a history of atrial arrhythmia that did not involve the atrioventricular (AV) node as part of the tachycardia circuit (e.g. atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, intra-atrial tachycardia) were not eligible. Participants with a history of these tachycardias who were also diagnosed with PSVT were eligible.
. History of allergic reaction to verapamil
. Current therapy with digoxin, or any Class I or III antiarrhythmic drug. Participants could be eligible if these drugs were stopped at least five half-lives before the administration of etripamil NS. The only exception was amiodarone which had to be stopped 30 days before enrollment.
. History or evidence of ventricular pre-excitation, e.g., delta waves, Wolff- Parkinson-White syndrome
. History or evidence of a second- or third-degree AV block
. History or evidence of severe ventricular arrhythmia (e.g., torsades de pointes, ventricular fibrillation, or sustained ventricular tachycardia).
. Symptoms of congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class II to IV
. SBP \< 90 mmHg at Screening, Baseline or any Follow-up Visit.
