Interventions

DRUGErenumab

A single dose of erenumab 140 mg infused over approximately 60 minutes.

DRUGPlacebo

A single dose of a matching volume of placebo infused over approximately 60 minutes.

Inclusion criteria

* History of chronic stable angina or at least 3 months prior to screening, with at least 1 angina episode per month * Ischemic heart disease documented by myocardial infarction, coronary angiography or a revascularization procedure * Receiving stable doses of cardiac medication * Completes 2 exercise treadmill tests during screening meeting protocol requirements

Exclusion criteria

* Participating in another investigational study * Current or prior malignancy within 5 years of randomization * Known sensitivity to any components of the investigational product * Not able to complete all protocol required study visits * Having the following within 3 months prior to or during screening: Unstable angina or acute coronary syndrome, transient Ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke, revascularization procedure, or instability in ST-segment depression between screening exercise treadmill tests, as assessed by the core electrocardiograph (ECG) laboratory

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Total Exercise TimeBaseline and day 1, after dosingTotal exercise time was assessed using an exercise treadmill test according to the standard Bruce protocol. The Bruce protocol is a standardized multistage treadmill test for assessing cardiovascular health, where the participant walks on an uphill treadmill in a graded exercise test with electrodes on the chest to monitor cardiac function. Every 3 minutes, the speed and incline of the treadmill are increased. There are 7 such stages for a total possible exercise time of 21 minutes.

Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 35 centers across the United States, South Africa, New Zealand, and the European Union (EU). Participants were enrolled from November 2015 to January 2017.

Pre-assignment details

Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a single dose of erenumab 140 mg or placebo intravenously (IV) prior to starting an exercise treadmill test. Randomization was stratified by the total exercise time average (\< 7 minutes or ≥ 7 minutes) of the 2 qualifying exercise treadmill tests performed during screening.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Total Exercise Time

Total exercise time was assessed using an exercise treadmill test according to the standard Bruce protocol. The Bruce protocol is a standardized multistage treadmill test for assessing cardiovascular health, where the participant walks on an uphill treadmill in a graded exercise test with electrodes on the chest to monitor cardiac function. Every 3 minutes, the speed and incline of the treadmill are increased. There are 7 such stages for a total possible exercise time of 21 minutes.

Time frame: Baseline and day 1, after dosing

Population: Participants who received study drug and completed the baseline and post-randomization exercise treadmill tests

ArmMeasureValue (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN)Dispersion
PlaceboChange From Baseline in Total Exercise Time8.1 secondsStandard Error 14.4
ErenumabChange From Baseline in Total Exercise Time-2.9 secondsStandard Error 14.8
Comparison: The primary endpoint was analyzed using an analysis of variance model with terms for treatment group and randomization strata (\< 7 or ≥ 7 minutes). If the lower bound of the 90% confidence interval (CI) of the difference in change from baseline in exercise duration was above the non-inferiority margin of -90 seconds, then the hypothesis that erenumab does not decrease exercise duration would be supported.90% CI: [-44.9, 22.9]
Secondary

Time to Onset of ≥ 1 mm ST-segment Depression

Time to onset of ≥ 1 mm ST-segment depression was defined as the time the participant received study drug to the time of event onset during the exercise treadmill test. If no event occurred the participant was censored at the exercise treadmill test stop time. Heart rate and rhythm were monitored during the exercise treadmill test by electrocardiography (ECG).

Time frame: Day 1

Population: Participants who received study drug and completed the post-randomization exercise treadmill test.
