Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in QTcI for MAP0004 3.0mg and Placebo at 30 Minutes

The corrected QT interval, individualized (QTcI) is a measurement of the electrical impulses through the largest part of the heart muscle individualized for subject pre-dose values. A negative change is a shortening of the QTc interval, a positive change is a lengthening of the QTc interval.

Time frame: baseline and 30 minutes

Population: Patients with data available at required time point were included in the analysis population.
