Etripamil is a calcium channel blocker currently in Phase 3 trials for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Systemic and local toxicity following once-weekly intranasal administration of etripamil was evaluated in cynomolgus macaques to support clinical development. Groups of animals (N = 8, 4 males and 4 females) were administered etripamil into the left nostril weekly at dose levels of 0 (vehicle), 1.

Intranasal etripamil for rapid treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a common arrhythmia that, although usually benign, can occur unpredictably, cause disabling symptoms and significantly impair quality of life. If spontaneous resolution does not occur, the only current self-treatment is for the patient to attempt vagal maneuvers, however, these are frequently unsuccessful. Hospital attendance is then required for intravenous therapy.

Etripamil, a fast-acting nondihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker, is under investigation for potential self-administration for the acute treatment of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in a medically unsupervised setting. We report detailed pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intranasally administered etripamil in healthy adults from 2 Phase 1, randomized, double-blind studies: Study MSP-2017-1096 (sequential dose-escalation, crossover study design, n = 64) and NODE-102 (single dose, 4-way crossover study, n = 24). Validated bioanalytical assays determined plasma concentrations of etripamil and its inactive metabolite.

Background: Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a common episodic arrhythmia characterized by unpredictable onset and burdensome symptoms including palpitations, dizziness, chest pain, distress, and shortness of breath. Treatment of acute episodes of PSVT in the clinical setting consists of intravenous adenosine, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers (CCBs). Etripamil is an intranasally self-administered L-type CCB in development for acute treatment of AV-nodal dependent PSVT in a nonmedical supervised setting.

Intranasal (IN) administration has emerged as a novel approach for rapid systemic absorption, with potential applicability in the management of acute cardiovascular events. This review explores the evolution of IN cardiovascular pharmacotherapy, emphasizing its potential in achieving systemic effects and bypassing the first-pass metabolism associated with oral administration. The extensive vascularization of nasal mucosa and a porous endothelial basement membrane facilitate efficient drug absorption into the bloodstream.
