About this study

Official title: A Two-part Phase I Study Composed of a Randomized, Double-blind, 4-parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Effect of Multiple Oral Doses of GFT505 on the QT/QTc Interval Compared to Placebo With Moxifloxacin (400 mg in Single Oral Dose) as a Positive Control, in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers, Preceded by a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study in Healthy Male Volunteers in Order to Define the Supra-therapeutic GFT505 Dose in a Multiple Dosing Regimen.

In accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E14 guidelines, this Phase I thorough QT (TQT) study will assess the arrhythmogenic potential of GFT505, by evaluating its effect on QT/QTc prolongation in healthy male and female subjects. According to the guidelines, such studies should typically be performed at the expected therapeutic dose and a supra-therapeutic dose that is 3-4-fold higher than the therapeutic dose.

GFT505 has previously been tested at 240 mg/d in 14-day multiple administration to healthy overweight subjects (study GFT505-111-7), and both safety and tolerability were very good. However, this dose corresponds to only 2-fold the expected therapeutic dose of 120 mg/d. Therefore, the current TQT study will be preceded by a multiple ascending dose study in which the safety and tolerability of 2 dose levels of GFT505 (300 and 360 mg) corresponding to 2.5 and 3 times the expected therapeutic dose will be evaluated. The highest dose level for which safety and tolerability are considered satisfactory will be the supra-therapeutic dose used in the TQT study.

Read the detailed description

The present trial is split into two successive parts:

  • Study Part I is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to obtain safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) data after 14-day multiple oral administrations of once-daily increasing doses of GFT505 (300 and 360 mg) in healthy male subjects. The starting dose of 300 mg/day has been selected on the basis of the results of previous clinical trials and corresponds to the highest dose given in healthy subjects according to a single dose regimen (study GFT505-111-7). A total of 24 male subjects will be included, 12 for each cohort (a cohort corresponding to a dose level). In each cohort, 9 subjects will receive GFT505 and 3 will receive placebo. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will have a formal meeting after full completion of at least 10 out of 12 subjects of each dose level to review under blinded conditions all safety data and to conclude on the safety and tolerability of a given dose level. Between the first and the second dose level, the SRC will give its agreement on the dose escalation, and at completion of the second level the SRC will define the supra-therapeutic dose to be administered in Study Part II.
  • Study Part II will be a parallel group, randomized, placebo-controlled study, with stratification by gender. The study is designed to investigate the potential impact of 14-day multiple oral administrations of once-daily GFT505 on QT/QTc prolongation under conditions of maximal GFT505 exposure, i.e. by administering the expected therapeutic dose of 120 mg/d and a supra-therapeutic dose (defined according to the results of Study Part I), to healthy male and female subjects. A single oral dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin will be used as a positive control in order to document the sensitivity of the experimental conditions. The study treatment administration will be double-blind for placebo and GFT505 and open for moxifloxacin. The ECG readings will be performed under blinded conditions. A preliminary sample size of 128 subjects to have at least 124 evaluable subjects has been fixed by formal justification on a theoretical basis. ECG data collected during Study Part I will support a formal determination using observed data and thus will lead to a final sample size. In all cases, it is anticipated that the sample size could not be less than 124 evaluable subjects. Each gender will represent at least 40% of the study population. Both sub-groups will be balanced between the 4 treatment groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety parameters such as adverse event monitoring, vital signs, ECG, and clinical laboratory tests (Study Part I)

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of two dose levels of GFT505 (300 and 360 mg), after multiple dose administration once daily for 14 days in male healthy subjects in order to determine the supra-therapeutic dose to be administered in Study Part II.

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Effect on QTcF compared to placebo (Study Part II)

    To evaluate the impact on QTcF of two dose levels (one therapeutic and one supra-therapeutic according to ICH E14) of GFT505, after multiple dose administration once daily for 14 days in healthy male and female subjects compared to placebo and a positive control.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GFT505 and Moxifloxacin 400 mg in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Genfit at 1 site in France.

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 11 inclusion and 20 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 Mar 2015. 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 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?

Safety parameters such as adverse event monitoring, vital signs, ECG, and clinical laboratory tests (Study Part I) (time frame: 14 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Mar 2015.
