Brief summary

This study will assess the effect of single oral doses of baxdrostat on the ECG interval measured from the onset of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave (QT) interval corrected for HR using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) compared to placebo using a concentration-QTcF analysis, and with moxifloxacin as positive control, in healthy participants.

Detailed description

This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 4-way crossover TQT study to assess the effect of single oral doses of baxdrostat on the QTcF compared to placebo using a concentration-QTcF analysis, and with open-label moxifloxacin as positive control, in 28 healthy participants, performed at a single clinical unit. The study will comprise of: * a screening period of maximum 28 days, * four treatment periods during which participants will be resident at the Clinical Unit from Treatment Period Day -1 until at least 48 hours after dosing (Treatment Period Day 3). * a final Follow-up Visit within 7 to 10 days following discharge after Visit 5 Participants will each receive a single dose of all treatments in a cross-over design over 4 treatment periods. Participants will be randomised to 1 of 4 treatment sequences with equal allocation regarded as a Williams design of order 4. Treatment Periods will be separated by a washout period of at least 7 days but no more than 9 days.

Interventions

Participants will receive baxdrostat as two separate doses.

DRUGPlacebo

Participants will receive baxdrostat matching placebo.

DRUGMoxifloxacin

Participants will receive a single dose moxifloxacin

Masking description

This study is double-blinded with regard to treatment (baxdrostat or placebo), for all placebo-controlled dose groups (groups where placebo and active substance is given in a cohort, ie, the sponsor, the investigator, all clinical staff involved in the clinical study (except for the unblinded pharmacist), the participants, and the study monitor will remain blinded, unless safety concerns or a regulatory requirement necessitate unblinding). Moxifloxacin will be administered as an open-label positive control in this study.
