4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a 3-arm, parallel-group, active- and placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study, to compare treatment with intravenous custirsen at 640 mg (highest intended therapeutic dose) with placebo. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of custirsen treatment on cardiac conduction and repolarization (electrical activity of the heart) in healthy subjects. The positive control employed to demonstrate assay sensitivity consists of a group receiving a single oral dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin on day 7. The moxifloxacin arm is un-blinded but the ECG readings are blinded.
This study is being conducted to comply with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation that all new non anti-arrhythmic drugs be assessed for cardiac repolarization effects through electrocardiographic evaluation. Therefore, this study will evaluate the effect of GSK1265744 on cardiac conduction as assessed by collection of twelve-lead continuous digital data in healthy adults. This study will evaluate the effect of three doses of GSK1265744 on the QT duration corrected for heart rate (QTc) interval as compared to placebo. Moxifloxacin will be used as a positive control in order to validate the sensitivity of the study in detecting QTc change. This study consists of three treatment periods (each separated by 21 day washout period) followed by follow-up visit 10 to 14 days post last dosing. The total duration of study including follow-up visit will be approximately 62 days. Approximately 42 subjects will be enrolled such that 34 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments.
Approximately 40 healthy subjects will be enrolled. Each subject will participate in the study for approximately 9 weeks. There will be four treatment sequences with a 5-7 day washout between treatments. Subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day-1 of each dosing period and will remain in the unit until Day 2. Each subject will receive a single dose of each of the four treatments on Day 1 of each treatment period in a randomized fashion. Subjects will be discharged from the clinical research unit after the completion of all assessments on Day 2 of each period and return approximately 5-7 days later for the next dose period. Serial pharmacokinetic samples will be collected for up to 24 hours following each treatment.
This study evaluates whether YM443 causes any changes in the electrocardiogram of healthy adults.
