Revefenacin, a Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist, Does Not Prolong QT Interval in Healthy Subjects: Results of a Placebo- and Positive-Controlled Thorough QT Study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 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 (??QTcF) values were close to 0 at all times, with the largest mean ??QTcF 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.
