Eligibility:
All Genders
18+ years
Phase:

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Key

- History of PAF documented within the prior 12 months
- \- Patients with PAF undergoing cardioversion greater than 4 weeks prior to Screening are eligible
- Implanted (at least 3 months prior to Screening) dual chamber programmable pacemakers with AF detection capabilities
- AFB ≥ 1% and ≤ 70% between the last clinic evaluation and Screening (minimum of 1 month observation period) and AFB ≥ 2% and ≤ 70% during the Run in period
- Sexually active females of childbearing potential must agree to utilize effective methods of contraception during heterosexual intercourse throughout the treatment period and for 14 days following discontinuation of the study medication
- Key
Exclusion
- Disease - specific:
- Persistent AF or Permanent AF
- History of atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia without successful ablation
- Other acutely reversible causes of AF, including but not limited to: hyperthyroidism, pericarditis, myocarditis, or pulmonary embolism
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III and IV heart failure or NYHA Class II heart failure with a recent decompensation requiring hospitalization or referral to a specialized heart failure clinic within 4 weeks prior to Screening.
- Recent history of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 40%
- Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery within three months prior to Screening or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 4 weeks prior to Screening
- Clinically significant valvular disease in the opinion of the Investigator
- Stroke within 3 months prior to Screening
- History of serious ventricular arrhythmias (eg, sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation) within 4 weeks prior to Screening
- Family history of long QT syndrome
- Corrected QT interval (QTc) ≥ 500 msec (Bazett) at Screening ECG if in sinus rhythm (SR). If in AF, evidence of QTc ≥ 500 msec (Bazett) within 4 weeks prior to Screening
- Prior heart transplant
- Cardiac ablation within 4 months prior to Screening, or planned ablation during the course of the study
- Concomitant medications/food
- Need for concomitant treatment during the trial, with drugs or products that are strong inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A), or inducers of CYP3A
- \- Such medications should be discontinued 5-half lives prior to the Run-in period
- Use of grapefruit juice or Seville orange juice during the study
- Use of Class I and Class III antiarrhythmic drugs other than amiodarone within 5-half lives prior to the Run-in period
- Use of amiodarone within 3 months prior to Screening
- Use of drugs that prolong the QT interval
- Previous use of ranolazine or dronedarone within 2 months prior to screening
- Prior use of ranolazine or dronedarone which was discontinued for safety or tolerability
- Use of dabigatran during the study
- Use of digitalis preparations (eg, digoxin) during the study
- Use of a greater than 1000 mg total daily dose of metformin during the study
- Laboratory tests:
- Hypokalemia (serum potassium \< 3.5 mEq/L) at Screening that cannot be corrected to a level of potassium ≥ 3.5 mEq/L prior to randomization
- Moderate and severe hepatic impairment (ie, Child-Pugh Class B and C), abnormal liver function test defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or bilirubin \> 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening
- Severe renal impairment defined as creatinine clearance ≤ 30 mL/min at Screening
- Others:
- Females who are pregnant or are breastfeeding
- In the judgment of the Investigator, any clinically-significant ongoing medical condition that might jeopardize the individual's safety or interfere with the study, including participation in another clinical trial within the previous 30 days using a therapeutic modality which could have potential residual effects that might confound the results of this study
- Any device-related technical issue which in the judgment of the investigator would disrupt adequate data collection or interpretation (eg, anticipated pulse generator change or lead revision)
- Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
