About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Active-controlled, 3-way Crossover, Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Effect of EVP-6124 at Therapeutic and Supratherapeutic Concentrations Following a 2-dose EVP-6124 Regimen on the QT Interval in Healthy Male and Female Subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of EVP-6124 at therapeutic and supratherapeutic concentrations on cardiac repolarization in healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be randomized to six treatment sequences of 10 subjects each. Subjects will be admitted to the clinic on Day -1 before dosing. Each of the EVP-6124 and placebo treatment periods (blinded) will include a 10-day/9-night confinement to the Clinical Pharmacology Unit (CPU) with study drugs being administered on Day 1 and Day 2. The moxifloxacin treatment period (open-label) will include a 3-day/2-night confinement to the CPU with moxifloxacin administration on Day 1.

The study will include 2 washout periods in which each washout starts from the time of the last dose of the preceding treatment period to the first dose of the next treatment period. The washouts following the EVP-6124 or placebo treatments will be 30 days while the washout following the moxifloxacin treatment will be 7 days. Follow-up visit (5 to 10 days following discharge from the CPU).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EVP-6124Drug

    A single oral low dose of EVP-6124 in cranberry juice (180 mL) administered on Day 1 and a high dose of EVP-6124 in cranberry juice (180 mL) administered on Day 2.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Cranberry juice only (180 mL) administered orally on both Day 1 and Day 2.

  • MoxifloxacinDrug

    Also called Avelox

    A moxifloxacin 400 mg tablet administered orally on Day 1

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change-from-baseline in individual corrected QTc (ΔQTcI) for EVP-6124 vs. placebo

    Change-from-baseline in Fridericia's correction QTc (ΔQTcF) and change-from-baseline in Bazett's correction QTc (ΔQTcB) will be secondary variables.

    The placebo-corrected baseline-adjusted QTc (ΔΔQTc), calculated as differences between time-matched mean change-from-baseline QTc values obtained on Day 1 (low dose) and on Day 2 (high dose) of the EVP-6124 treatment relative to the corresponding QTc values obtained on Day 1 and Day 2 of the placebo treatment, will be evaluated to quantify the effect of EVP-6124 on cardiac repolarization.

    Measured: Day 1: predose to 20 hours postdose; Day 2 predose to 168 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change-from-baseline in individual corrected QTc (ΔQTcI) for positive control vs. placebo

    The placebo-corrected baseline-adjusted QTc (ΔΔQTc), calculated as differences between time-matched mean change-from-baseline QTc values obtained on Day 1 of the moxifloxacin treatment relative to QTc values obtained on Day 1 of the placebo treatment, will be evaluated to establish assay sensitivity.

    Measured: Day 1: predose to 20 hours postdose

  2. Safety and tolerability of EVP-6124 at low dose and high doses

    All AEs (adverse experiences) spontaneously reported by subjects and/or observed by investigator and evaluation of physical examinations, prior and concomitant medications, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs, and vital signs measurements.

    Measured: Day -1 through follow-up (5 to 10 days after discharge)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EVP-6124 and Moxifloxacin in people with Healthy Subjects and Cardiac Repolarization, run by FORUM Pharmaceuticals Inc.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change-from-baseline in individual corrected QTc (ΔQTcI) for EVP-6124 vs. placebo (time frame: Day 1: predose to 20 hours postdose; Day 2 predose to 168 hours postdose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Oct 2014.
