About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo- and Positive Controlled, Three-Way, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effects of an Intravenous Infusion of Eravacycline (TP-434) on Cardiac Repolarization in Healthy Male and Female Subjects: A Thorough QT/QTc Study

This is a randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled (moxifloxacin), 3-period, 3-way crossover thorough QT study, which includes a Screening Period, Treatment Periods (1 through 3), and a Follow-up Visit. Subjects will be confined to the investigational site for 4 nights/3 days during Period 1 and for 3 nights/2 days during Periods 2 and 3. There will be a minimum of a 14 day washout between treatments.

Read the detailed description

Each of the following treatments will be evaluated on Day 1 of each period in a crossover fashion. The IV eravacycline (TP-434) and IV placebo will be double-blinded.

  • Treatment A: Eravacycline (TP-434) 1.5 mg/kg administered intravenously over 60 minutes and one placebo oral tablet;
  • Treatment B: Placebo (0.9% sodium chloride) administered intravenously over 60 minutes and one moxifloxacin 400 mg oral tablet; and
  • Treatment C: Placebo (0.9% sodium chloride) administered intravenously over 60 minutes and one placebo oral tablet.

Subjects will be randomized to a treatment sequence according to a pre-generated treatment scheme. Subjects will receive a different treatment during each of the 3 periods.

Being tested
Eravacyline, Moxifloxacin, and placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the effect of a therapeutic dose of an IV infusion of eravacycline (TP-434) on cardiac repolarization compared to placebo

    Calculating the differences between time-matched mean change from baseline of QTcI (ΔΔQTcI = ΔQTcI[TP-434]-ΔQTcI[placebo]) in healthy male and female subjects.

    Measured: 11 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the effect of eravacycline (TP-434) on cardiac repolarization

    • To evaluate the effect of eravacycline (TP-434) on cardiac repolarization compared with placebo by calculating the differences between the time-matched mean changes from baseline of QTcB (ΔΔQTcB) and QTcF (ΔΔQTcF) in healthy male and female subjects;
    • To evaluate the correlation between the differences in time-matched baseline-adjusted mean changes of QTc in eravacycline (TP-434) and placebo (ΔΔQTcI, ΔΔQTcB, and ΔΔQTcF) and plasma concentrations of eravacycline (TP-434), TP-498, and TP-6208;
    • To evaluate the correlation between QTcI, QTcB, and QTcF changes from baseline (ΔQTcI, ΔQTcB, and ΔQTcF) and plasma concentrations of eravacycline (TP-434), TP 498, and TP-6208; and
    • To evaluate assay sensitivity by measuring the effect of moxifloxacin on QTc compared to placebo (ΔΔQTcI).

    Measured: 11 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study of Normal Healthy Subjects, run by Tetraphase 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 10 inclusion and 29 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 27 Dec 2021. 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?

Evaluate the effect of a therapeutic dose of an IV infusion of eravacycline (TP-434) on cardiac repolarization compared to placebo (time frame: 11 weeks). 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 27 Dec 2021.
