About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Randomized, Moxifloxacin and Placebo Controlled, Four-Way Crossover Study of the Effects of a Single Intravenous Supra-Therapeutic Dose and Single Intravenous Therapeutic Dose of CXA-101/Tazobactam on the QT/QTC Intervals in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of the study is look at the possible side effects of two different doses of CXA-101/tazobactam, a low dose and a high dose, on participant's heart.

Read the detailed description

Some drugs can have effects on the cardiovascular system (hearts and blood vessels) including the QT interval. The QT interval is the time between the contraction and relaxation of the chambers of the heart, called ventricles, which collect and pump blood. The use of some drugs can lead to serious issues such as QT interval prolongation (lengthen) and potentially serious arrhythmias (abnormal heart beat), and sudden death. Therefore, it is important to study effect of medications on the heart.

The drug, Moxifloxacin, will be introduced as a control to be able to compare the effect, if any, that CXA 101/tazobactam might have on participant's heart.Moxifloxacin is an approved antibiotic commonly used to treat common bacterial infections. Moxifloxacin is known to slightly increase the electrical conduction of participant's heart.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change from the pre-dose baseline in the individual subject (subject-specific) correction, QTcI.

    The primary endpoint is the baseline-adjusted change in the QTcI between time-matched placebo and study drug.

    Measured: Baseline through Day 13

  2. The change from the periodic specific pre-dose baseline of QT/QTcI

    The primary endpoint is the change from the periodic specific pre-dose baseline of QT/QTcI corrected by QTcI across all dose groups

    Measured: Baseline through Day 13

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The change from pre-dose baseline in the QT/QTcI corrected by QTcB and QTcF interval.

    Measured: Baseline through Day 13

  2. Characterize concentration-response relationship for QT/QTcI

    Measured: Baseline through Day 13

  3. Provide safety information by the collection of adverse events

    Collect AEs

    Measured: Baseline through Day 21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CXA-101/tazobactam and Moxifloxacin in people with Healthy, run by Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA) at 1 site in United States.

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 21 inclusion and 18 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 26 Jan 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 United States. 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?

The change from the pre-dose baseline in the individual subject (subject-specific) correction, QTcI. (time frame: Baseline through Day 13). 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 26 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
