About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation focused on measuring Atrial Fibrillation, Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation, AF
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male of female; age over 18 years
- Dual chamber permanent pacemaker implanted
- Confirmed diagnosis of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with an AF burden of 1 to 50%, as derived from pacemaker diagnostic algorithms
- Able to have pacemaker antiarrhythmic algorithms turned off for the duration of the study
- Able to discontinue all Class I and III antiarrhythmic medication for the duration of the study
- Therapeutically anticoagulated with warfarin or dabigatran, and anticipated to be for duration of the study
- High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) between 2 and 10 mg/L (inclusive)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Clinically significant abnormalities in medical history, physical examination, or screening laboratory results that would render a subject unsuitable for inclusion
- NYHA class III/IV heart failure
- Impaired left ventricular function of less than 45% determined by echocardiography within 3 months of screening
- Moderate or greater mitral regurgitation assessed by echocardiography within 3 months of screening
- Permanent AF
- Continuous Amiodarone therapy within 90 days prior to Study Day 1
- Treatment with another Study Drug, biological agent, or device within one-month of screening, or five half-lives of study agent, whichever is longer
- Use of systemic corticosteroids or other anti-inflammatory medications including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Use of statins, ACE inhibitors or AT-receptor antagonists unless on a stable regimen for at least 3 months prior to dosing and will remain on a stable regimen for the duration of the study
- Uncontrolled hypertension (BP >160/100)
- Current or expected use of any anticoagulant apart from warfarin or dabigatran

Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
AF burden reduction
Burden measured as percentage of time spent in AF as derived from continuous pacemaker monitoring
Secondary Outcome Measures
To assess the effect of ISIS CRP Rx on the:
total number of AF episodes
average duration of AF per episode
average sinus rhythm duration
atrial and ventricular rate during AF episodes
To assess the effect of ISIS CRP Rx on ventricular rate during sinus rhythm
To assess the effect of ISIS CRP Rx on measures of Quality of Life
To assess whether treatment with ISIS CRP Rx reduces hsCRP in subjects with paroxysmal AF
Change from Baseline will be compared for each treatment period
To assess the safety of ISIS CRP Rx in subjects with paroxysmal AF
Incidence rates of all Adverse Events will be tabulated by MedRA system Organ Class and by MedRA Term for each treatment group. Lab Tests, Vital Signs, And ECG Parameters will be summarized by study visit for each treatment group.
To assess the tolerability of ISIS CRP Rx in subjects with paroxysmal AF
Incidence rates of all Adverse Events will be tabulated by MedRA system Organ Class and by MedRA Term for each treatment group. Lab Tests, Vital Signs, And ECG Parameters will be summarized by study visit for each treatment group.
To assess the pharmacokinetics of ISIS CRP Rx in subjects with paroxysmal AF
Trough levels of ISIS CRP Rx will be assessed at intervals throughout the study
