Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The TaRGET study is a multi-centre, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of tideglusib, a glycogen synthase kinase-3 β inhibitor, in genotype positive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • A pathogenic or likely pathogenic desmosomal (PKP2, DSG2, DSC2, DSP, or JUP\*) rare variant OR the TMEM43-p.S358L variant
  • \*JUP carriers must be homozygous or compound heterozygous
  • Mean ≥ 500 PVCs per 24 hours on a baseline screening 7-day Holter monitor

  • Males, engaged in sexual relations with a female of child-bearing potential, not using an acceptable contraceptive method if not surgically sterile
  • Patients unwilling to provide informed consent or comply with follow-up
  • Hypersensitivity to tideglusib or any components of its formulation, including allergy to strawberry
  • Concurrent use of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 with a narrow therapeutic window e.g. warfarin and digoxin
