Last Updated: 2014-07-28

Results Overview

Mean QTcN (heart rate-corrected QT interval, using a study population-based approach) from the ECGs obtained between 1h to 4h following drug administration minus the mean QTcN from the baseline electrocardiogram (ECGs) obtained pre-dose at each visit, for empa 25mg.

Study Overall
Total number of patients randomised and treated in the study. This was a randomised, placebo controlled, 5-period crossover trial, participants were randomised to one of ten possible treatment sequences. The treatments administered were * 25mg empa administered orally on day 1 of the treatment period * 200mg empa administered orally on day 1 of the treatment period * 400mg moxifloxacin administered orally on day 1 of the treatment period * Placebo 1 administered orally on day 1 of the treatment period * Placebo 2 administered orally on day 1 of the treatment period The trial was double-blind for the placebo and Empagliflozin (Empa) treatments, but open-label for the moxifloxacin treatment. A washout period of at least 1 week was respected between drug administrations.

Population: Full analysis set (FAS): all treated subjects who had at least one baseline assessment and at least one post-baseline assessment for at least one ECG endpoint.

The time-matched change from placebo is defined per time point as the difference of the ECG measurement following administration of empa or moxifloxacin minus the average of the measurements obtained following the two administrations of placebo. The clinically relevant information (and endpoint resulting from ICH E14) is shown by the maximum mean value of all measurements. Results are presented for the greatest change, for empa 25mg the greatest change was seen at the 24 hour time point, for empa 200 mg and moxifloxacin the greatest change was seen at the 2.5 hour time point.

The placebo corrected change from mean baseline is defined per time point as the difference of the change from baseline for empa or moxifloxacin minus the average change from baseline obtained for the two administrations of placebo. The clinically relevant information (and endpoint resulting from ICH E14) is shown by the maximum mean value of all measurements.

Timeframe: Drug administration until beginning of next sequence/end of trial, up to 48 days

Population: Treated set (TS): All subjects who were dispensed trial medication and were documented to have taken at least one dose of investigational treatment.

Clinically relevant abnormalities for physical examination, vital signs, ECG, blood chemistry, haematology, urinanalysis and assessment of tolerability by the investigator. New abnormal findings or worsening of baseline conditions were reported as adverse events (AEs). Time frame for AE reporting includes the period of first drug administration until end of study. A more detailed definition of the used time frame and MedDRA Version can be found in the AE section.
