Project description:IntroductionAlbiglutide, a selective once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Albiglutide's effect on cardiac repolarization (QTc interval) was assessed in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in healthy subjects with a nested crossover comparison for moxifloxacin.MethodsSubjects were randomized to albiglutide (n = 85) or placebo (n = 89) and received injections of 30 mg albiglutide or placebo on Days 1 and 8 and 50 mg albiglutide or placebo on Days 15, 22, 29, and 36. In the placebo group, moxifloxacin was administered on Day -1 in half the subjects and on Day 40 in the other half. Blood samples for albiglutide plasma concentration were drawn on Days 4 and 39 and serial ECGs were extracted from continuous recordings on Days -2 (baseline), -1, 4, 39, and 40.ResultsDemographics were generally similar between albiglutide and placebo subjects: mean age was 29 years and BMI 25 kg/m(2). Mean change-from-baseline QTcI (∆QTcI, which was corrected for individual heart rate) on Day 4 after a single dose of albiglutide 30 mg and on Day 39 after repeat dosing with albiglutide 50 mg once weekly was similar to the placebo response. The placebo-corrected ΔQTcI (ΔΔQTcI) on both albiglutide doses was small with the largest ΔΔQTcI of 1.1 ms (upper bound of 90% CI 3.8 ms) on Day 4 and -0.6 ms (upper bound of CI 1.8 ms) on Day 39. Moxifloxacin caused the largest mean effect on ΔΔQTcI of 10.9 ms and the lower bound of the CI was above 5 ms at all preselected timepoints, thereby demonstrating assay sensitivity. Albiglutide was well tolerated and there were no clinically relevant differences in safety data between albiglutide and placebo.ConclusionAlbiglutide at doses up to 50 mg in healthy subjects did not prolong the QTc interval.

Project description:Two studies (ROADMAP and ORIENT) evaluating the renoprotective effects of olmesartan medoxomil (OM) in patients with type 2 diabetes suggested OM is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. We conducted a thorough QTc study to evaluate the effects of OM on cardiac repolarization. A randomized, double-blind, phase 1 study was conducted per E14 Guidance to assess the effects of single doses of OM therapeutic dose (40 mg), OM supratherapeutic dose (160 mg), placebo, or moxifloxacin (MOXI; 400 mg) on QTc in 56 healthy subjects. The primary endpoint was the baseline-adjusted, placebo-corrected QTc interval using Fridericia's formula (ΔΔQTcF) for OM and MOXI. Assay sensitivity was concluded if lower limit of 1-sided 95%CI > 5 milliseconds of ΔΔQTcF for MOXI. No threshold pharmacologic effect for OM was concluded if upper limit of 1-sided 95%CI <10 milliseconds for ΔΔQTcF at any timepoint. Pharmacokinetics, ECGs, and safety were assessed. Assay sensitivity was demonstrated. The largest upper limit of the 1-sided 95%CI for ΔΔQTcF was <5 milliseconds for OM. No clinically significant changes were observed in ECGs. Pharmacokinetics and safety profile were consistent with previous data. Therapeutic and supratherapeutic OM doses had no clinically significant effect on cardiac repolarization and were well tolerated.

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:AimThe D2 /D3 antagonist amisulpride has shown promising efficacy against postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) at low doses. We investigated whether intravenous amisulpride has an effect on the QTc interval in a formal Thorough QT study (TQT).MethodsThis was a randomized, double-blind, placebo and positive-controlled, four-way crossover study. Forty healthy Caucasian and Japanese subjects were included to receive a single administration of 5 mg and 40 mg of i.v. amisulpride or a single oral dose of moxifloxacin or placebo per period.ResultsThe therapeutic dose of 5 mg amisulpride was associated with a slight, transient increase in mean ΔΔQTcF, from 2.0 ms prior to dosing to a peak of 5 ms (90% CI: 2.8, 7.1 ms) at 8 min, decreasing to 2.1 ms at 30 min after dosing. The supra-therapeutic dose of 40 mg given at twice the infusion rate was associated with prolongation in ΔΔQTcF peaking at 23.4 ms (90% CI: 21.3, 25.5 ms) at the end of infusion (8 min), returning below 10 ms within 1.5 h. Assay sensitivity was confirmed; ΔΔQTcF had increased by 12.3 ms (90% CI 10.1, 14.6 ms) at 4 h post-dose. The PK-PD relationship revealed no differences between Caucasian and Japanese subjects (p-value > 0.5).ConclusionsAmisulpride has a plasma concentration-dependent effect on the QTc interval. The proposed therapeutic dose for management of PONV does not lead to a prolongation of QTcF above the threshold of regulatory concern, while such effect could not be excluded for the supratherapeutic dose.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog approved for the once-weekly treatment of type 2 diabetes. The objective of this 16-week, double-blind, single-center thorough QT study was to confirm that semaglutide treatment does not prolong cardiac repolarization versus placebo. Prolongation of the QT interval is a biomarker for ventricular tachyarrhythmia. METHODS:In a parallel design, 168 healthy subjects were randomized to the treatment or placebo arms, of whom 166 were treated with subcutaneous semaglutide (N = 83; escalated to a supratherapeutic dose of 1.5 mg) or placebo (N = 83). The subjects (60% males) had a mean age of 38.2 years and body mass index of 25.1 kg/m2. To assess QT assay sensitivity, subjects in the placebo group received a single 400 mg moxifloxacin dose as positive control, and placebo in a crossover fashion. The primary endpoint was the time-matched change from baseline in QT interval corrected individually for heart rate (ΔQTcI), calculated from 11 electrocardiogram recordings from 0 to 48 h after the last 1.5 mg dose. Similar assessments were made for the therapeutic 0.5 and 1.0 mg semaglutide dose levels. RESULTS:No QTcI prolongation occurred with any semaglutide dose; the upper limits of two-sided 90% confidence intervals of the placebo-subtracted ΔQTcI were < 10 ms at all doses and time points. Exposure-response analysis showed no dependence of QTcI on semaglutide concentration. QT assay sensitivity was confirmed. The semaglutide safety profile was similar to that of other GLP-1 receptor agonists. CONCLUSION:Based on investigations of QT/QTc, no concern with regard to ventricular arrhythmias was raised as semaglutide did not prolong the cardiac repolarization duration in healthy subjects.

Project description:Revefenacin is a novel once-daily, lung-selective, long-acting muscarinic antagonist developed as a nebulized inhalation solution for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In a randomized, 4-way crossover study, healthy subjects received a single inhaled dose of revefenacin 175 µg (therapeutic dose), revefenacin 700 µg (supratherapeutic dose), and placebo via standard jet nebulizer, and a single oral dose of moxifloxacin 400 mg (open-label) in separate treatment periods. Electrocardiograms were recorded, and pharmacokinetic samples were collected serially after dosing. The primary end point was the placebo-corrected change from baseline QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula, analyzed at each postdose time. Concentration-QTc modeling was also performed. Following administration of revefenacin 175 and 700 µg, placebo-corrected change from baseline QTcF (ΔΔQTcF) values were close to 0 at all times, with the largest mean ΔΔQTcF of 1.0 millisecond (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.2 to 3.1 milliseconds) 8 hours postdose and 1.0 millisecond (95%CI, -1.1 to 3.1 milliseconds) 1 hour postdose after inhalation of revefenacin 175 and 700 µg, respectively. Revefenacin did not have a clinically meaningful effect on heart rate (within ±5 beats per minute of placebo), or PR and QRS intervals (within ±3 and ±1 milliseconds of placebo, respectively). Using concentration-QTc modeling, an effect of revefenacin > 10 milliseconds can be excluded within the observed plasma concentration range of up to ≈3 ng/mL. Both doses of revefenacin were well tolerated. These results demonstrate that revefenacin does not prolong the QT interval.

Project description:Islatravir is a deoxynucleoside analog being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Clinical studies are being conducted to evaluate islatravir, administered in combination with other antiretroviral therapies, at doses of 0.25 mg once daily and 2 mg once weekly. In multiple previous clinical studies, islatravir was generally well tolerated, with no clear trend in cardiac adverse events. A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of islatravir on cardiac repolarization. A randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled phase 1 trial was conducted, in which a single dose of islatravir 0.75 mg, islatravir 240 mg (supratherapeutic dose), moxifloxacin 400 mg (active control), or placebo was administered. Continuous 12-lead electrocardiogram monitoring was performed before dosing through 24 hours after dosing. QT interval measurements were collected, and safety and pharmacokinetics were evaluated. Sixty-three participants were enrolled, and 59 completed the study. Fridericia's QT correction for heart rate was inadequate; therefore, a population-specific correction was applied (QTcP). The placebo-corrected change from baseline in QTcP (ΔΔQTcP) interval at the observed geometric mean maximum plasma concentration associated with islatravir 0.75 mg and islatravir 240 mg was <10 ms at all time points. Assay sensitivity was confirmed because the use of moxifloxacin 400 mg led to a ΔΔQTcP >10 ms. The pharmacokinetic profile of islatravir was consistent with that of previous studies, and islatravir was generally well tolerated. Results from the current trial suggest that single doses of islatravir as high as 240 mg do not lead to QTc interval prolongation.

Project description:Luseogliflozin is a selective sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. To evaluate the cardiac safety of luseogliflozin, a thorough QT/QTc study was conducted in healthy Japanese subjects. The effects of moxifloxacin on QT prolongation in Japanese subjects were also evaluated. In this double-blind, placebo- and open-label positive-controlled, 4-way crossover study, 28 male and 28 female subjects received a single dose of luseogliflozin 5 mg (therapeutic dose), luseogliflozin 20 mg (supratherapeutic dose), placebo, and moxifloxacin 400 mg. Serial triplicate digital 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded before and after dosing, and results were analyzed using the Fridericia correction (QTcF) method. Serial blood sampling was performed for pharmacokinetic analyses of luseogliflozin and moxifloxacin to analyze the relationship between QTcF interval and plasma concentration. The upper limits of the two-sided 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for baseline and placebo-adjusted QTcF intervals (ΔΔQTcF) in the 5 mg and 20 mg luseogliflozin groups were less than 10 ms at all time points. No correlation between plasma luseogliflozin concentrations and ΔΔQTcF was observed. In the moxifloxacin group, the lower limits of the two-sided 90% CIs for ΔΔQTcF were greater than 5 ms at all time points. A positive relationship was observed between plasma moxifloxacin concentration and change in ΔΔQTcF. Luseogliflozin was well tolerated at both dose levels. The majority of adverse events were mild in severity, and no serious or life-threatening adverse events occurred. Neither therapeutic (5 mg) nor supratherapeutic (20 mg) doses of luseogliflozin affected QT prolongation in healthy Japanese subjects.

Project description:AimsThe transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer, tafamidis, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in the treatment of TTR familial amyloid polyneuropathy (20 mg day(-1) ). Tafamidis use in TTR cardiomyopathy led to the study of the potential effect of tafamidis on the QTc interval in healthy subjects.MethodsThis randomized, three treatment, three period, six sequence crossover study with placebo, a positive control (moxifloxacin 400 mg) and tafamidis (400 mg, to achieve a supra-therapeutic Cmax of ~20 µg ml(-1) ) was conducted in healthy volunteers at three clinical research units. Oral dosing in each of the three treatment periods was separated by a washout period of ≥ 14 days. Serial triplicate 12-lead electrocardiograms were performed. QTc intervals were derived using the Fridericia correction method. Safety and tolerability were assessed by physical examination, vital signs measurement, laboratory analyses and monitoring of adverse events (AEs).ResultsA total of 42 subjects completed the study. The upper limit of the two-sided 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the difference in baseline-adjusted QTc F between tafamidis 400 mg and placebo was <10 ms (non-inferiority criterion) for all time points. The lower limit of the two-sided 90% CI between moxifloxacin 400 mg and placebo exceeded 5 ms at the pre-specified moxifloxacin tmax of 3 h post-dose, confirming assay sensitivity. Cmax and AUC(0,24 h) for tafamidis were 20.36 µg ml(-1) and 305.4 µg ml(-1) h, respectively. There were no serious/severe AEs or treatment discontinuations due to AEs.ConclusionsThis thorough QTc study suggests that a supra-therapeutic single 400 mg oral dose of tafamidis does not prolong the QTc interval and is well-tolerated in healthy volunteers.

Project description:Moxifloxacin 400 mg is a widely used positive control in thorough QT (TQT) studies, but its QT-prolonging effects in Korean subjects have not been studied. The present study was conducted to collect pilot data in Korean subjects after moxifloxacin administration to evaluate the adequacy of moxifloxacin as a positive control.Thirty-eight, healthy, Korean, male subjects were recruited for pharmacokinetic (PK) blood sampling and electrocardiography (ECG) recordings at three different study sites. On day 1, a baseline 12-lead ECG was recorded, and on day 2, ECG recordings were conducted after placebo, or moxifloxacin 400- or 800-mg administration. Baseline-corrected, placebo-adjusted, corrected QT (ΔΔQTc) values were calculated. Blood samples were collected after moxifloxacin administration and PK parameters were assessed.A total of 33 subjects completed the study. The largest time-matched ΔΔQTc occurred approximately 4 h after dosing, with ΔΔQTcI (QT interval corrected by individual QT-RR regression model) values of 11.66 ms (moxifloxacin 400 mg) and 20.96 ms (800 mg). The mean and 90 % confidence intervals of ΔΔQTcI did not include zero at any of the measurement time points. There was a positive correlation between plasma moxifloxacin concentration and ΔΔQTcI (r = 0.422). Dose-proportional PK profiles were observed.Moxifloxacin 400 mg is an adequate positive control in Korean TQT studies. Our results indicate that moxifloxacin 400 mg can be used to evaluate the cardiac safety of a drug in Korean subjects.
