ReVeRA-301: Etripamil in Atrial Fibrillation Phase 3
750 participantsStarted 2027-01
Plain-language summary
This is a multi-national, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of etripamil NS in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study includes Screening Visit, Randomization Visit, a Treatment Period with scheduled Follow-up Visits (Monthly Follow-up and Post-treatment Follow-up Visits), a Final Study Visit, and an End of Study Telephone Follow up Visit.
Each patient will be randomized 1:1 to receive placebo or 70 mg Etripamil NS regimens. Patients will self-administer study drug for a perceived episode of AF with RVR with an initial dose of placebo or 70 mg etripamil NS, followed by an optional second dose of the same study drug 10 minutes after the first dose if the patient continues to experience symptoms. Patients may treat up to a maximum of 4 episodes in the study.
Informed consent will be obtained prior to any study procedures.

Inclusion criteria
. Age 18 years and over.
. Provision of written informed consent.
. Documented history of symptomatic AF (paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent) with a ventricular rate of ≥110 bpm.
. Documented history of repeated (at least 2 within the prior 12 months) and prolonged (at least 20 minutes) symptomatic episodes of AF with elevated (perceived or measured) heart rate (HR).
. Receiving appropriate antithrombotic/anticoagulation therapy as per applicable national and/or local guidelines for AF management.
. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and agree to use at least 1 highly effective form of contraception from time of randomization until 7 days after the last administration of study drug and must be willing to discontinue from the study should they become or plan to become pregnant.
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?

What they're measuring
1
Demonstrate the efficacy of etripamil NS over placebo in patients with AF.
Timeframe: 30 minutes from first drug administration
. Patients with a primary diagnosis of atrial flutter (typical or atypical) or atrial tachycardia. Patients with AF who have been observed to also experience atrial flutter within the same episode (i.e., "AFib/Flutter" or an admixture of AF and flutter within the same episode) are eligible.
. History of any of the following within the last 6 months: Class 3 or 4 angina per Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) criteria; ischemic chest pain during AF episodes; acute coronary syndrome, unless the patient has been successfully revascularized; coronary artery bypass grafting or open-chest valve surgery.
. History of heart failure (HF) New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification ≥Class III within the last 3 months.
. History of hemodynamic instability during AF, i.e., symptoms or signs of severe hypotension, or syncope due to a pause upon conversion from AF to sinus rhythm (SR).
. History of unexplained syncope.
. History of, or ECG evidence at the screening visit, of: sick sinus syndrome, Mobitz II second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block bradycardia (\<40 bpm) or pauses \>3 seconds during waking hours, without a pacemaker.
. History of, or ECG evidence at the Screening visit, of: torsades de pointes, ventricular fibrillation, or ventricular tachycardia, Brugada syndrome, an antegrade conducting accessory bypass tract (e.g., Wolff-Parkinson-White or Lown-Ganong-Levine syndromes), or long QT syndrome.
. History of stroke, transient ischemic attack or peripheral embolism within the last 3 months.
