Effect of Anagrelide Hydrochloride on Any Changes in Heart Function in Healthy Volunteers

Overview

According to the ICH Guidance Document E14, all non-antiarrhythmic drugs should be evaluated for their ability to prolong the QT interval which represents the duration of ventricular depolarization and subsequent repolarization. The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of anagrelide on QT/QTc interval following a therapeutic and supratherapeutic dose of anagrelide when compared to placebo and a positive control.

Full Title of Study: “A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Positive-controlled, 4-Period Crossover Trial to Assess the Effect of Anagrelide Hydrochloride on QT/QTc Interval in Healthy Men and Women.”

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Mean Difference Changes From Baseline Versus Placebo in QTcNi Intervals From Time-Matched Analysis by Largest Time Point
    • Time Frame: Over 12 hours post-dose
    • QT interval corrected for heart rate using the subject-specific method (QTcNi) at the subject-specific time of maximum plasma concentration. The QT interval is the time it takes for the ventricles of the heart to contract and relax. Data were subtracted from the placebo value. The largest time point refers to the estimated largest mean difference between each treatment and placebo among all time points. Values for different treatments can come from different time points.
  • Mean Difference Changes From Baseline Versus Placebo in Heart Rate From Time-Matched Analysis by Largest Time Point
    • Time Frame: Over 12 hours post-dose
    • The largest time point refers to the estimated largest mean difference between each treatment and placebo among all time points. Values for different treatments can come from different time points.
  • Mean Difference Changes From Baseline Versus Placebo in QTcF Intervals From Time-Matched Analysis by Largest Time Point
    • Time Frame: Over 12 hours post-dose
    • QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia’s method (QTcF) at the subject-specific time of maximum plasma concentration. The QT interval is the time it takes for the ventricles of the heart to contract and relax. Data were subtracted from the placebo value. The largest time point refers to the estimated largest mean difference between each treatment and placebo among all time points. Values for different treatments can come from different time points.
  • Mean Difference Changes From Baseline Versus Placebo in QTcB Intervals From Time-Matched Analysis by Largest Time Point
    • Time Frame: Over 12 hours post-dose
    • QT interval corrected for heart rate using Bazett’s method (QTcB) at the subject-specific time of maximum plasma concentration. The QT interval is the time it takes for the ventricles of the heart to contract and relax. Data were subtracted from the placebo value. The largest time point refers to the estimated largest mean difference between each treatment and placebo among all time points. Values for different treatments can come from different time points.
