Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Healthy female subjects and/or male subjects who at the time of screening, are between the ages of 18 and 55 years, inclusive. Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, including blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, 12 lead ECG or clinical laboratory tests.
  2. Body Mass Index (BMI) of 17.5 to 30.5 kg/m2; and a total body weight >50 kg (110 lbs).
  3. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
  4. Subjects who are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
  5. Based on CYP2D6 genotyping, the subject is required to be classified as a CYP2D6 extensive metabolizer (EM).

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of dosing).
  2. Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (eg, gastrectomy).
  3. A positive urine drug screen.
  4. History of regular alcohol consumption exceeding 7 drinks/week for females or 14 drinks/week for males (1 drink = 5 ounces (150 mL) of wine or 12 ounces (360 mL) of beer or 1.5 ounces (45 mL) of hard liquor) within 6 months of Screening.
  5. Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement) or 5 half lives preceding the first dose of study medication (whichever is longer).
  6. Screening supine blood pressure > 140 mm Hg (systolic) or > 90 mm Hg (diastolic), following at least 5 minutes of rest. If BP is >140 mm Hg (systolic) or >90 mm Hg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated two more times and the average of the three BP values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
  7. Screening supine 12 lead ECG demonstrating QTcF >450 msec or a QRS interval >120 msec. If QTcF exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated two more times and the average of the three QTcF or QRS values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
  8. Pregnant female subjects; breastfeeding female subjects; male subjects with partners currently pregnant; male subjects able to father children and female subjects of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use 2 highly effective methods of contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of the study and for at least 28 days after the last dose of investigational product or longer based upon the compound's half-life characteristics.
  9. Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs and dietary supplements within 7 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication.
  10. As an exception, acetaminophen/paracetamol may be used at doses of less than 1 g/day. Limited use of non prescription medications that are not believed to affect subject safety or the overall results of the study may be permitted on a case by case basis following approval by the sponsor. Herbal supplements and hormone replacement therapy must be discontinued at least 28 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
  11. Blood donation (excluding plasma donations) of approximately 1 pint (500 mL) or more within 56 days prior to dosing.
  12. History of sensitivity to heparin or heparin induced thrombocytopenia.
  13. History of known QTc prolongation or ECG abnormalities.
  14. Individuals with known hypersensitivity reactions to venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine or SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or SNRI (Selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors).
  15. Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin or quinolones.

About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Three Period, Randomized, Three-way Crossover, Double-blind Placebo And Moxifloxacincontrolled Study To Assess The Effects Of Effexor Xr On Cardiac Repolarization In Healthy Adult Subjects

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo- and moxifloxacin-controlled, 3 period, 6-sequence, 3 treatment (venlafaxine and placebo blinded; moxifloxacin open label), 3-way crossover thorough QT (TQT) study of the effects of venlafaxine on cardiac repolarization in approximately 54 healthy subjects

Being tested

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Venlafaxine and Moxifloxacin in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. 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?

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 Jan 2021. 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?

Postdose QTcF (Fridericia's correction) intervals (time frame: 0 to 24 hours). 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 Jan 2021.
