RESUMO
PURPOSE: The aim of this analysis was to investigate the potential for ulixertinib (BVD-523) to prolong cardiac repolarization. The mean prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc) interval was predicted at the mean maximum drug concentrations of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D; 600 mg BID) and of higher concentrations. In addition, the effect of ulixertinib on other quantitative ECG parameters was assessed. METHODS: In a two-part, phase 1, open-label study in adults with advanced solid tumors, 105 patients [24 in Part 1 (dose escalation) and 81 in Part 2 (cohort expansion)] were included in a QT prolongation analysis. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) extracted from 12-lead Holter monitors, along with time-matched pharmacokinetic blood samples, were collected over 12 h on cycle 1 day 1 and cycle 1 day 15 and analyzed by a core ECG laboratory. RESULTS: A small increase in heart rate was observed on both study days (up to 5.6 bpm on day 1 and up to 7 bpm on day 15). The estimated mean changes from baseline in the study-specific QTc interval (QTcSS), at the ulixertinib Cmax, were - 0.529 ms (90% CI - 6.621, 5.562) on day 1 and - 9.202 ms (90% CI - 22.505, 4.101) on day 15. The concentration: QTc regression slopes were mildly positive but not statistically significant [0.53 (90% CI - 1.343, 2.412) and 1.16 (90% CI - 1.732, 4.042) ms per µg/mL for days 1 and 15, respectively]. Ulixertinib had no meaningful effect on PR or QRS intervals. CONCLUSIONS: Ulixertinib administered to patients with solid tumors at clinically relevant doses has a low risk for QT/QTc prolongation or any other effects on ECG parameters. REGISTRATION: The study is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01781429) and was sponsored by BioMed Valley Discoveries.

AIM: To investigate the QT/QTc effects of orally administered moxifloxacin in healthy Chinese volunteers. METHODS: This was a single-blinded, randomized, single-dose, placebo-controlled, two-period cross-over study. A total of 24 healthy Chinese volunteers were enrolled, randomly assigned to two groups: one group received moxifloxacin (400 mg, po) followed by placebo with a 7-d interval, another group received placebo followed by moxifloxacin with a 7-d interval. On the days of dosing, 12-lead 24 h Holter ECGs were recorded and evaluated by an ECG laboratory blind to the treatments. Blood samples were collected to determine plasma concentrations of moxifloxacin. RESULTS: The orally administered moxifloxacin significantly prolonged the mean QTc at all time points except 0.5 h post-dose. The largest time-matched difference in the QTcI was 8.35 ms (90% CI: 5.43, 11.27) at 4 h post-dose. The peak effect on QTcF was 9.35 ms (90% CI: 6.36, 12.34) at 3 h post-dose. A pharmacokinetic-QTc model suggested a 2.084 ms increase in the QTc interval for every 1000 ng/mL increase in plasma concentration of moxifloxacin. In addition, the orally administered moxifloxacin was well tolerated by the subjects. CONCLUSION: Orally administered moxifloxacin significantly prolongs QTc, which supports its use as a positive control in ICH-E14 TQT studies in Chinese volunteers.
