Official title
A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating Mirabegron's Effectiveness in Alleviating POTS Symptoms
Overview
The study will test the hypothesis that mirabegron is more effective than a placebo in alleviating postural orthostatic tachycardia (POTS) symptoms.
Detailed description
Participants will undergo 4 weeks of randomized treatment, with an optional 4-week extension, and a final safety follow-up visit 4 weeks after discontinuation (total participation up to 12 weeks). The investigators will perform skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) recordings and assess self-reported symptom frequencies using the number of pushbutton events per day. The patients will also record symptoms in a daily diary. The investigators will assess quality of life (QOL) and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms using validated questionnaires at baseline and after mirabegron treatment. The investigators will repeat the QOL questionnaires at 4 weeks and 8 weeks in those who choose to extend therapy.
Interventions
- Drug Mirabegron
This is a randomized placebo controlled double blind trial comparing mirabegron with placebo in treating POTS - Drug Placebo
Matching placebo
Primary outcome measures
- Self-reported frequencies of cardiac-related symptoms as recorded by the number of pushbutton events per day on the monitor. [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- Malmö POTS Symptom Score [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
- EQ-5D-5L quality of life score [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
- Duke Activity Status Index [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
- Seattle Angina Questionnaire score [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
- OAB-q SF [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
- PROMIS survey [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
- skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) parameters [Time frame: At baseline and again immediately after the completion of drug treatment]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Provision of a signed and dated informed consent form.
- Male or female, age ≥ 18 years old.
- Confirmed POTS diagnosis, which includes chronic (>3 months) orthostatic intolerance, an increase in heart rate (HR) of ≥30 beats per minute (bpm) without orthostatic hypotension (>20 mmHg drop of systolic BP) during orthostatic tests.
Exclusion criteria
An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
- Patients who are pacemaker-dependent because the pacing artifacts will complicate skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) analysis.
- Clinically unstable (for example, acute myocardial infarction, decompensated heart failure, undergoing cancer chemotherapy, and other acute illnesses requiring hospitalization)
- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥180 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mm Hg, or both)18
- Active thyrotoxicosis
- Any experimental medication concomitantly or within 4 weeks of participation in the study
- Currently participating in a different clinical trial
- Severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 ml/min)
- Hepatic disease (Child-Pugh Class C)
- Prisoners
- Pregnant
- Breastfeeding
- Cannot speak, write, or answer questions in English (Validated symptom questionnaires used in this study are available only in English.)
- Does not have the capacity to consent
- Patients who are known to be allergic to mirabegron or skin patch electrodes
- Patients taking codeine, oxycodone, thioridazine, flecainide, propafenone, and digoxin. (see explanation below)
