A randomized, placebo-controlled repeat-dose thorough QT study of inhaled loxapine in healthy volunteers.

ABSTRACT: This randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled, crossover, thorough QT study assessed the effect of two inhaled loxapine doses on cardiac repolarization as measured by corrected QT (QTc) interval in healthy subjects (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01854710).Subjects received two doses of inhaled loxapine (10 mg) 2 hours apart+oral placebo, two doses of inhaled placebo+oral placebo, or two doses of inhaled placebo+oral moxifloxacin (400 mg; positive control), with ?3 days washout between treatments. Two-sided 90% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated around least-squares mean predose placebo-subtracted individually corrected QT durations (??TcIs) at 12 time points throughout 24 hours after dosing. A ??TcI 95% upper CI exceeding 10 msec was the threshold indicating QTc prolongation (primary endpoint). Secondary endpoints included Fridericia- and Bazett-corrected QT duration and QTcI outliers. Pharmacokinetics and adverse events (AEs) were also assessed.Of 60 subjects enrolled (mean age, 33.8 years; 52% male), 44 completed the study. Post loxapine dosing, no ??TcI 95% upper CI exceeded 10 msec; the largest was 6.31 msec 5 minutes post dose 2. Methodology was validated by ??TcI 95% lower CIs exceeding 5 msec at 9 of 12 time points after moxifloxacin dosing. Loxapine plasma concentrations increased rapidly (mean Cmax, 177 ng/mL; median tmax 2 minutes after dose 2, 2.03 hours after dose 1). There were no deaths, serious AEs, or AEs leading to discontinuation, and one severe AE.Primary and secondary endpoints indicated two therapeutic doses of inhaled loxapine did not cause threshold QTc prolongation in this study.

Project description:BackgroundDasiglucagon is a novel glucagon analog that is stable in aqueous formulation and approved for use in severe hypoglycemia. Concentration QTc analyses are critical for assessing risk of drug-induced QTc prolongation and potential for fatal cardiac arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine whether dasiglucagon treatment resulted in any clinically relevant effect on cardiac repolarization in healthy volunteers.MethodsThis double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase I trial was conducted at a single center in Germany between November 2018 and June 2019. Sixty healthy volunteers aged 18 to 45 years were randomized within dose cohorts to receive intravenous dasiglucagon, intravenous placebo, or subcutaneous dasiglucagon. In the intravenous administration cohorts, doses ranged from 0.03 mg to 1.5 mg. The subcutaneous administration cohort received the approved 0.6 mg dose. In the intravenous administration cohorts, serial electrocardiograms were extracted from continuous Holter monitors at prespecified time points beginning the day before dosing and through 24 hours postdose. Heart rate, PR interval, and QRS duration were evaluated. Concentration-QT analyses corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) were performed using both a linear mixed-effects and a maximum estimated effect (Emax) model.ResultsAt the doses studied, dasiglucagon did not have any clinically relevant effect on heart rate, PR interval, or QRS duration. A minor prolongation of the QTcF interval was observed without any clear dose or concentration dependency. Both the linear and Emax models predicted mean and 90% CIs of placebo-corrected change in QTcF remained below 10 ms (the threshold of regulatory concern), although the linear model did not fit the data well at low dasiglucagon plasma concentrations. In the Emax model, the Emax of dasiglucagon was 3.6 ms (90% CI, 1.23-5.95 ms), and the amount to produce half the effect of Emax) was 426.0 pmol/L (90% CI, -48.8 to 900.71 pmol/L). The treatment effect-specific intercept was -0.44 ms (90% CI, -2.37 to 1.49 ms). The most frequently observed treatment-emergent adverse events reported in the trial were gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea and vomiting.ConclusionsDasiglucagon does not cause clinically relevant QTc prolongation in concentrations up to ≈30,000 pmol/L, a level 5-fold higher than the highest observed plasma concentrations in clinical trials investigating use of the approved 0.6 mg SC dose.
