About this study

Official title: Thorough QT/QTc Study of 2 Doses of ADASUVE® in Healthy Volunteers

Assess the potential effects on the QT interval of 2 consecutive doses of ADASUVE administered 2 hours apart, in relation to placebo and an active control in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

It has been shown in a pre-marketing clinical study that clinically relevant QT prolongation does not appear to be associated with a single dose of ADASUVE. The potential risk of QTc prolongation following repeat dosing is unknown. Therefore the current study will assess the potential effects on the QT interval of 2 consecutive doses of ADASUVE administered 2 hours apart, in relation to placebo and an active control in healthy volunteers.

The study hypothesis H0: Placebo-subtracted max mean dQTc > 10 msec

Being tested
ADASUVE 10 mg 2 doses 2 hours apart, Inhaled Placebo, Oral moxifloxacin 400 mg, Oral placebo
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ADASUVE 10 mg 2 doses 2 hours apart and Oral moxifloxacin 400 mg in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Alexza Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 6 inclusion and 16 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 18 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Oct 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Effect of ADASUVE on Cardiac Repolarization (QTc Interval Duration) at the Maximum Clinical Dose Compared to Placebo (time frame: Predose, 2 min, 1, 1.5 hr, 2 hr 2 min, 2 hr 5 min, 2.5, 3, 5, 8, 12, and 24 hr). 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 NCT01854710, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 18 Oct 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
