OBJECTIVES: Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a reentrant arrhythmia that creates a substantial burden on the healthcare system, with many patients requiring medical assistance in a clinical setting. Etripamil is a novel fast-acting non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker currently under investigation for intranasal self-administration to terminate episodes of PSVT. Etripamil was studied previously in NODE-301 Part 1 and RAPID to assess the safety and efficacy in patients who self-administered this treatment outside the healthcare setting. The objective of present analysis is to characterize healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) among patients in the NODE-303 study.

METHODS: NODE-303 was an open-label study conducted at 148 clinical study sites in the United States, Canada, and Latin America from June 21, 2019 to February 24, 2023. Adult patients (≥18 years) were eligible for the study if they had been diagnosed with at least 1 episode of AV-nodal dependent PSVT prior to enrollment. Any patient who received at least 1 dose of etripamil was included in the safety population and in this analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize HCRU, including emergency department (ED) visits and medical interventions (defined as patients who received oral or intravenous treatment following study drug administration).

RESULTS: Etripamil was self-administered by 503/1,116 patients for ≥1 symptomatic episode of perceived PSVT, with 60% conversion at 30 min and 70% conversion by 60 min in the efficacy population. Additional medical interventions needed to resolve confirmed PSVT episodes included administration of concomitant oral medications (10.1%, 51/503), ED visits (12.3%, 62/503), and hospital visits/admissions (4.0%, 20/503). Intravenous medication (n=225/265; 84.9%) was most commonly used to treat PSVT in the ED or hospital.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients reported visiting an ED or hospital (~12%) at similar rates to the etripamil arms in the randomized NODE-301 Part 1 (13%) and RAPID (14%) clinical trials in patients with confirmed PSVT episodes.
