Abstract

What is this summary about?: This is a plain language summary of a clinical research study called RAPID. The study looked at the potential for how safe and effective etripamil was at stopping an episode of rapid heartbeats in people with atrioventricularnodal-dependent supraventricular tachycardia (AV-node-dependent SVT). An episode is used to describe the period of time when a person experiences an abnormally very fast heartbeat. This was done by comparing an investigational drug called etripamil with a placebo, each administered via a rapidly acting nasal spray. AV-node-dependent SVT affects the rhythm of the heart, causing it to suddenly beat rapidly. The condition often requires medical treatment to help return the heart to its normal, healthy heartbeat pattern and speed, called 'sinus rhythm'. Researchers are looking at ways of improving the management of supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) by reducing the need for patients to attend an urgent care clinic, emergency ward or hospital for treatment. In the RAPID study, participants used a nasal spray containing either 70 mg etripamil or a placebo solution when they experienced an episode of SVT. The researchers wanted to know how long it took for each participant's rapid heartbeat to return to sinus rhythm after administering the etripamil or placebo nasal spray. Participants in the study were considered successfully treated if their heartbeats returned to sinus rhythm for at least 30 seconds within 30 minutes of using the nasal spray. Although 30 seconds may seem brief, it's medically important because it shows that a person's heartbeat has been temporarily stabilized and returned to normal functioning.

What were the results?: Out of 99 people who used etripamil during an SVT episode, 63 participants (64%) experienced a return to sinus rhythm for at least 30 seconds within 30 minutes after using the nasal spray. In contrast, 26 out of 85 participants (31%) who used the placebo nasal spray experienced a return to sinus rhythm for at least 30 seconds within 30 minutes after use. Furthermore, the average time taken for the return to sinus rhythm was 17 minutes for the etripamil group which was 3-times faster than the placebo group at 53 minutes. Also, in the study no serious side effects occurred that were related to etripamil.

What do the results of the study mean?: The RAPID study supports the potential that etripamil may be safe and well tolerated by participants as a treatment for episodes of rapid heartbeat in people with AV-node-dependent SVT. The results also showed a significant improvement in symptoms following treatment with etripamil.

关于依曲帕米治疗房室结依赖性室上性心动过速的安全性和有效性的简明语言摘要:RAPID 研究。
这是一份关于一项名为RAPID的临床研究的简明摘要。该研究探讨了依曲帕米在阻止房室结依赖性室上性心动过速(房室结依赖性室上性心动过速)患者快速心跳发作方面的安全性和有效性。发作是指一个人出现异常快速心跳的一段时间。这项研究比较了一种名为依曲帕米的试验药物和一种安慰剂,每种药物都通过快速起效的鼻腔喷雾剂给药。房室结依赖性室上性心动过速会影响心脏的节律,使其突然快速跳动。这种情况通常需要接受治疗,以帮助心脏恢复正常、健康的心跳模式和速度,即 "窦性心律"。研究人员正在研究如何改善室上性心动过速(SVT)的治疗,减少患者到紧急护理诊所、急诊室或医院接受治疗的需要。在RAPID研究中,参与者在出现室上性心动过速时使用含有70毫克依曲帕米或安慰剂溶液的鼻腔喷雾剂。研究人员想知道,在使用依曲帕米或安慰剂鼻腔喷雾剂后,每位参与者的快速心跳需要多长时间才能恢复窦性心律。如果参加研究的人员在使用鼻腔喷雾剂后的30分钟内,心跳恢复窦性心律至少30秒,那么他们就被认为成功接受了治疗。虽然30秒看似短暂,但在医学上却非常重要,因为这表明一个人的心跳已经暂时稳定并恢复正常:在 99 位在 SVT 发作期间使用过依曲帕米的患者中,有 63 人(64%)在使用鼻腔喷雾剂后的 30 分钟内恢复了至少 30 秒钟的窦性心律。相比之下,在使用安慰剂鼻腔喷雾剂的 85 名参与者中,有 26 人(31%)在使用后 30 分钟内恢复窦性心律至少 30 秒。此外,依曲帕米组恢复窦性心律的平均时间为17分钟,比安慰剂组的53分钟快3倍。研究结果有何意义? RAPID研究证实,依曲帕米作为房室结依赖性室上性心动过速患者心跳过快发作的一种治疗方法,可能是安全的,而且参与者的耐受性良好。研究结果还显示,使用依曲帕米治疗后症状有明显改善。

期刊介绍: Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
