VEG111485: A QTc Study of Pazopanib

This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study to estimate the effects of daily oral dosing of 800 mg pazopanib on electrocardiographic parameters (QTc interval duration) as compared with placebo in subjects with solid tumors. Moxifloxacin, will serve as a positive control.

This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study designed to estimate the effects of repeated, once daily oral dosing of pazopanib on electrocardiographic parameters with a particular focus on its effect on cardiac repolarization (QTc interval duration) as compared with placebo in subjects with solid tumors. Moxifloxacin, a drug known to cause mild QTc interval prolongation, is included as a positive control to validate the ability of the study to detect a small prolongation in the QTc interval. Digital 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) will be extracted from continuous ECG recordings obtained via a Holter monitor. The effects of pazopanib and moxifloxacin on cardiac repolarization will be compared with placebo. This study will also assess the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship between plasma concentrations of pazopanib and its metabolites and their effects, if any, on cardiac repolarization, specifically on the QT interval.
