Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Zibotentan (ZD4054) (Manufacturer: AstraZeneca)
- Dose - 10mg once daily
- Duration - 8 weeks (4 weeks drug intervention and 4 weeks placebo)
- The mode of administration - oral tablet

Each subject will undergo treatment with Zibotentan and matched placebo for 4 weeks in a computer-generated random order (double-blind, crossover design) giving a total dosing period of 8 weeks. There will be a 2-week washout interval between the two treatment periods.

Patient will report the angina frequency through and angina diary.
The drug compliance will be assessed through drug tablet return.
Intervention code [1] 299764 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
The placebo product consists of a beige, plain, round, biconvex, film-coated tablet containing mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, magnesium stearate and in the film coat hypromellose, titanium dioxide, macrogol 400, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide red and iron oxide black. The placebo tablets contain the same ingredients except the active ingredient.

The drug adherence will be assessed through tablet returns.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304128 0
Primary endpoint of this study is to assess the angina (chest pain) frequency between the active treatment and placebo.
This will be assessed as a comparison between the Phase 1 and Phase 2 angina diary reported frequency.
Timepoint [1] 304128 0
The chest pain frequency will be calculated using the angina diary. Patient will report the angina in the diary only when it occurs during both phases (Phase 1-4 weeks and Phase 2-4 weeks). Eg: If there is no chest pain during a phase, patient will return an empty diary for that phase. If patient experiences 3 or more chest pain in a day, patient will report each incident in the diary. The chest pain frequency will be compared between 2 phases once completed.

Medication phase 1 : For 4 weeks using the angina diary
Medication phase 2 (cross over) : For 4 weeks using the angina diary

-End of Phase 1
-End of Phase 2
Secondary outcome [7] 341048 0
Endothelin polymorphism - The +138 del/ins (-3A/-4A) polymorphism is a genetic variant located 138bp downstream from the transcription site in the 5’ un-translated region from the preproET-1 gene in exon 113. This mutated sequence involves the insertion of an extra adenine nucleotide in the DNA sequence, therefore changing the nucleotide sequence from =AAA’ to =AAAA’ resulting in increased expression of the active ET-1 through enhanced mRNA stability.

DNA samples from patients will be genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.
Timepoint [7] 341048 0
At baseline (before the administration of the drug)
Secondary outcome [8] 341049 0
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene mutation - A polymorphism of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is located on chromosome 7q35-56 and influences NO production.
DNA samples from patients will be genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.
Timepoint [8] 341049 0
At baseline (before the administration of the drug)
Secondary outcome [9] 341050 0
Patient medication compliance assessed by asking each patient to return their product containers and a tablet count performed at each visit.
Timepoint [9] 341050 0
-End of Phase 1
-End of Phase 2

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Zibotentan’s anti-anginal efficacy will be undertaken by blinded analysis of the angina diary endpoints. This endpoint is count data and will be performed by comparison between patients with respect to treatment order utilizing Mann-Whitney U tests. Comparisions of the SAQ and SF-36 scores will be made with analysis of variance for repeated samples.

This endpoint is count data and will be performed by comparison between patients with respect to treatment order utilizing Mann-Whitney U tests. Comparisions of the SAQ and SF-36 scores will be made with analysis of variance for repeated samples.

Based upon previous experience, the mean total angina episodes expected in this study population is 28±31 episodes/month. This study showed a 56% reduction in total angina frequency with active study drug. Thus using a crossover study design to detect a 50% change in frequency with Zibotentan, 39 patients would be required for 80% power at alpha =0.05. Accounting for approximately 30% dropouts, 50 will be patients recruited.
