Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Perhexiline
Other interventions - Placebo

Experimental: Perhexiline -

Placebo comparator: Placebo -


Treatment: Drugs: Perhexiline
All eligible and consented patients will be randomised to initiation of perhexiline 100mg once daily or identical placebo. After 4 days of treatment, a blood sample will be collected to determine plasma perhexiline concentrations: timing of the sample need not be "trough" in view of the long-acting nature of perhexiline. Depending on the blood results, patients might require as little as 50mg/week (slow metabolisers) or as much as 600mg/day (ultra-rapid metabolisers). The initial sample will be utilized primarily to detect presence of hydroxylated metabolite: patients in whom perhexiline is detected in the absence of metabolite will be designated "slow metabolisers" and will have their dosage reduced to 50 mg/week in the first instance. Repeat assay at 30 days will be utilized for individual finer dose titration based on dose adjustment table. Paired dosage adjustment in placebo-treated patients will be performed to avoid unblinding.

Compliance will be assessed by capsule count.
