Number of Participants With Identified ECG Abnormalities

Triplicate 12-lead serial ECGs were performed pre-dose (just prior to infusion), 1.5, 3 (just prior to end of the infusion even if infusion lasted for less than or more than planned 3 hrs), 4, 6, 8 and 24 hrs after start of ixabepilone infusion. Triplicate 12-lead serial ECGs were also to be performed on the date prior to dosing at times approximating post-dose schedule (pre-dose triplicate set of ECGs also qualified as the 24-hr baseline ECGs). Normal ranges for ECG are as follows: heart rate: 40 - 125 bpm; PR: 0.1 - 0.2 msec; QRS: 0.06 - 0.12 msec; QTC: 0.3 - 0.45 msec; QT: 0.3 - 0.5 msec.

Time frame: Data collected at screening, Day -1 and Day 1 (at 0, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours) after start of infusion.

Population: All participants treated with ixabepilone.

QT Interval Corrected for Heart Rate (QTcF)

QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTcF) was assessed using triplicate 12-lead serial electrocardiograms (ECGs) that were performed at selected times after the first dose of ixabepilone without rifampin and at matched times prior to the first dose of ixabepilone. Abnormalities occurring at any time during the study were recorded.

Time frame: Data collected at 0, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after start of infusion.

Population: All participants treated with ixabepilone. The 'n' is signifying those participants who received study drug and were evaluated for this measure at the timepoint for each group respectively.
