Cardiac safety of indacaterol in healthy subjects: a randomized, multidose, placebo- and positive-controlled, parallel-group thorough QT study.

ABSTRACT: Indacaterol is a novel once-daily ultra long-acting ?2-agonist for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is known that ?2-agonists, like other adrenergic compounds, can prolong the QT-interval. This thorough QT/QTc study (as per ICH E14 guideline) evaluated the effect of indacaterol on the QT interval in healthy subjects.In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo- and positive-controlled (open-label moxifloxacin) study, non-smoking healthy subjects (18-55 years, body mass index: 18.5-32.0 kg/m2) were randomized (4:4:2:4:1) to 14-day treatment with once-daily indacaterol (150 ?g, 300 ?g, or 600 ?g), placebo, or placebo/moxifloxacin (double-blind 14-day treatment with placebo and a single open-label dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin on Day 14). The primary endpoint was the change from baseline on Day 14 in QTcF (QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula).In total, 404 subjects were randomized to receive indacaterol (150 [n = 108], 300 [n = 108], 600 ?g [n = 54]), placebo (n = 107), or placebo/moxifloxacin (n = 27); 388 subjects completed the study. Maximal time-matched mean (90% confidence intervals) treatment differences from placebo in QTcF change from baseline on Day 14 were 2.66 (0.55, 4.77), 2.98 (1.02, 4.93) and 3.34 (0.86, 5.82) ms for indacaterol 150 ?g, 300 ?g and 600 ?g, respectively. Study sensitivity was confirmed with moxifloxacin demonstrating a significant maximal time-matched QTcF prolongation of 13.90 (10.58, 17.22) ms compared to placebo. All indacaterol doses were well tolerated.Indacaterol, at doses up to 600 ?g once daily (2-4 times the therapeutic dose) does not have any clinically relevant effect on the QT interval.

<h4>Background</h4>Indacaterol is a novel once-daily ultra long-acting β2-agonist for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is known that β2-agonists, like other adrenergic compounds, can prolong the QT-interval. This thorough QT/QTc study (as per ICH E14 guideline) evaluated the effect of indacaterol on the QT interval in healthy subjects.<h4>Methods</h4>In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo- and positive-controlled (open-label moxifloxacin) study, non-s ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundDabigatran etexilate is a pro-drug of the oral reversible direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran that interacts with the active site in the catalytic domain of the thrombin molecule.ObjectiveTo assess the electrophysiological effects of therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses of dabigatran etexilate in healthy subjects, a thorough QT study was performed.MethodsIn this single-centre, blinded, placebo- and active-controlled, four-period, crossover study, 40 healthy Caucasian subjects (20 women and 20 men) received single oral doses of dabigatran etexilate (150 mg and 600 mg), moxifloxacin 400 mg (positive control) or placebo, in a randomized order. Electrocardiogram (ECG) profiles were recorded at baseline and during the randomized study treatment in each period. The individually heart-rate-corrected QT interval (QTcI) was the primary parameter. The primary endpoint was the mean of these QTcI values obtained at 1.5, 2 and 3 h following study drug administration minus the mean of the time-matched QTcI values obtained at baseline day -1. The hypothesis tested was that the difference between each of the two doses of dabigatran etexilate (150 mg and 600 mg) and placebo, for the mean time-matched change from baseline (CfB) of QTcI between 1.5 and 3 h (the primary endpoint), was greater than or equal to 10 ms. Secondary endpoints were the time-matched CfB of QTcI between 0.5 and 24 h post-dose.ResultsAll subjects completed the study without premature discontinuation and all treatments were well tolerated. Following dabigatran etexilate administration, the mean values of the placebo-adjusted time-matched CfB of QTcI between 1.5 and 3 h post-dose were close to 0; the upper bound of the two-sided 90 % confidence interval (CI) was 1.4 ms for dabigatran etexilate 150 mg and 1.3 ms for dabigatran etexilate 600 mg. The placebo-adjusted time-matched CfB of QTcI remained close to 0 at all time points, and all 90 % CIs were between -5 ms and 5 ms, well below the pre-defined non-inferiority margin of 10 ms.ConclusionThis thorough QT study demonstrated that therapeutic and fourfold supratherapeutic doses of dabigatran etexilate do not prolong QT intervals.

Project description:BackgroundFabry disease is a rare inherited glycosphingolipid storage disorder caused by deleterious mutations in the GLA gene coding for the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A. The glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor lucerastat is an iminosugar with potential to provide oral substrate reduction therapy in Fabry disease, regardless of the patient´s underlying mutation. Since lucerastat exhibits systemic exposure and many patients with Fabry disease suffer from rhythm and conduction abnormalities its effects on cardiac repolarization were evaluated in a thorough QT study.MethodsIn Part A of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 study, single oral doses of 2000 and 4000 mg lucerastat were investigated to determine the supratherapeutic dose for Part B. The latter was a four-way crossover study to demonstrate that lucerastat at single oral therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses had no effect on the QTc interval > 10 ms using concentration-QTc modeling as primary analysis. The primary ECG endpoint was placebo-corrected change-from-baseline (ΔΔ) in Fridericia-corrected QTc (ΔΔQTcF). Open-label moxifloxacin served as positive control.ResultsThe effect of lucerastat on ΔΔQTcF was predicted as 0.39 ms (90% confidence interval [CI] - 0.13 to 0.90) and 1.69 ms (90% CI 0.33-3.05) at lucerastat peak plasma concentration after dosing with 1000 mg (5.2 µg/mL) and 4000 mg (24.3 µg/mL), respectively. A QTcF effect > 10 ms was excluded up to lucerastat plasma concentrations of approximately 34.0 µg/mL. Lucerastat did not exert an effect on other ECG parameters. Across doses, absorption of lucerastat was rapid, its elimination half-life ranged from 8.0 to 10.0 h, and the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lucerastat were dose-proportional. Moxifloxacin PK were in line with published data and assay sensitivity was demonstrated by the moxifloxacin QTc response. Lucerastat was safe and well tolerated.ConclusionsLucerastat up to a dose of 4000 mg has no clinically relevant liability to prolong the QT interval or any clinically relevant effect on other ECG parameters. This will be an important factor in the overall benefit-risk assessment of lucerastat in the potential treatment of Fabry disease.
