About this study

Official title: A Multiple-center, Multiple-dose, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Placebo-controlled, Positive-controlled, Parallel Group Study to Investigate the Effect of RO4917838 on the QTc Interval in Healthy Subjects.

This multiple-center, multiple-dose, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, positive-controlled, parallel group study will investigate the effect of RO4917838 on the QTc interval in healthy volunteers. Healthy volunteers will be randomized to one of 4 treatment arms; Arm A: low dose of RO4917838, Arm B: high dose of RO4917838, Arm C: placebo to RO4917838 and moxifloxacin on Day 1, Arm D: placebo to RO4917838 and moxifloxacin on Day 11. The anticipated time on study treatment is 11 days.

Being tested
Moxifloxacin, RO4917838, RO4917838 placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in QTcF interval at steady state

    Measured: Baseline and Day 10

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change of electrocardiogram

    Measured: Baseline and Day 10

  2. Correlation of RO4917838 plasma concentration and the electrocardiogram

    Measured: Day 10

  3. Change in the QTc interval, using moxifloxacin as an active control

    Measured: Days 1 and 11

  4. Safety: incidence of adverse events

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Pharmacokinetics: area under the concentration time curve of RO4917838

    Measured: Up to Day 19

  6. Pharmacokinetics: Maximum plasma concentration of RO4917838

    Measured: Up to Day 19

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Moxifloxacin and RO4917838 in people with Healthy Volunteer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 2 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Changes in QTcF interval at steady state (time frame: Baseline and Day 10). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01613040, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Nov 2016.
