Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint is QTc-time on ECG, performed at the moment of tmax of the lastly added drug (or in case of starting at the same time, at the moment of the longest tmax). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Potential risk factors for QTc time prolongation. The following parameters will be collected as potential risk factors for QTc prolongation: - General patient characteristics: age, gender, race, bodyweight, length, comorbidities, liver function parameters, renal function parameters, serum electrolyte parameters - Dosage of the interacting drugs - Comedication - Blood concentration levels of the interacting drugs, when these have been determined. - Pharmacogenetic parameters when these have been determined. | — |
