About this study

Official title: Prospective, Single-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Moxifloxacin-controlled, 4-way Crossover Phase 1 Study to Assess the Effect of Multiple Therapeutic and Supratherapeutic Doses of Aprocitentan on the QT Interval Duration in Healthy Subjects

To demonstrate that multiple-dose administration of oral therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses of aprocitentan do not have a clinically relevant effect on the QT interval.

Being tested
Aprocitentan 25 mg, Aprocitentan 100 mg, Matching placebo, Moxifloxacin control to establish assay sensitivity

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aprocitentan 25 mgDrug

    Also called ACT-132577

    Repeated administration of a 25 mg oral dose of aprocitentan, once daily from Day 1 to Day 10, followed by 18 days of observation.

  • Aprocitentan 100 mgDrug

    Also called ACT-132577

    Repeated administration of a 100 mg oral dose of aprocitentan, once daily from Day 1 to Day 10, followed by 18 days of observation.

  • Matching placeboDrug

    Repeated administration of an oral dose of aprocitentan-matching placebo, once daily from Day 1 to Day 10, followed by 18 days of observation.

  • Moxifloxacin control to establish assay sensitivityOther

    Repeated administration of an oral dose of aprocitentan-matching placebo, once daily from Day 1 to Day 9. On Day 10, oral administration of one single 400 mg moxifloxacin tablet open-label, followed by 18 days of observation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Placebo-corrected change from baseline in QT interval corrected with Fridericia's formula (ΔΔQTcF)

    Measured: Multiple predefined time points related to study treatment administration on Day 1 and Day 10 to 11 of each treatment.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Aprocitentan trough plasma concentrations (Ctrough)

    Measured: Day 2 to Day 9

  2. Aprocitentan plasma Cmax, first dose

    Measured: Pre-defined times on the first dosing day (Day 1) up to 15 hours after last dose

  3. Aprocitentan plasma Cmax, steady state

    Measured: Pre-defined times on the last dosing day (Day 10) up to 15 hours after last dose

  4. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUCτ) during a dosage interval (τ) of aprocitentan

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 10

  5. Aprocitentan attainment of steady-state conditions

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 10

  6. Accumulation index between the first and the last dosing day of aprocitentan

    Measured: Day 1; Day 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Aprocitentan 25 mg and Aprocitentan 100 mg in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd. at 1 site in Germany.

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 16 inclusion and 10 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 23 Nov 2022. 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 Germany. 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?

Placebo-corrected change from baseline in QT interval corrected with Fridericia's formula (ΔΔQTcF) (time frame: Multiple predefined time points related to study treatment administration on Day 1 and Day 10 to 11 of each treatment.). 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 23 Nov 2022.
