Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate the electrocardiogram (ECG) effects of Sancuso® compared to placebo and moxifloxacin in healthy subjects.

Detailed description

Granisetron is a well tested and established 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used in both oral and intravenous (IV) forms. A transdermal form of granisetron (Sancuso®) was approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2008. Many of the 5-HT3 antagonists were developed and approved before the adoption of the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E14 standard on QTc and cardiac testing. The association of non-cardiac medicinal products with the potential to prolong the QT interval and induce torsades des pointes (TdP) has significant implications for the future development of medicinal products.

Interventions

DRUGgranisetron

Treatment A: Sancuso® patch (3.1mg/24 hours) on Day 1 and IV placebo (0.9% saline) on Day 3 Treatment B: Granisetron IV 10 mcg/kg over 30 seconds on Day 1 and placebo patch on Day 3 Treatment C: Placebo patch on Day 1 and IV placebo on Day 3 Treatment D: 400 mg oral moxifloxacin on Day 1 and placebo patch on Day 3

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Time-matched, placebo-corrected change from baseline in QTc based on the Fridericia correction (QTcF).0 to 120 hours post-dose

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
QTc with Bazett correction (QTcB), heart rate, PR interval, QRS interval, uncorrected QT interval, change in ECG morphological patterns and correlation between the QTcF change from baseline and plasma granisetron concentrations0 to 120 hours post-dose
Relationship of plasma concentration of granisetron versus QTcF, both graphical and mixed effects analyses of plasma concentration of granisetron versus QTcF will be performed0 to 120 hours post-dose
Patch adhesion and residual granisetron after patch use.0 to 120 hours post-dose
