Study of the Effect of GS-6615 in Subjects With LQT-3

November 13, 2014 updated by: Gilead Sciences

An Open-label Study to Evaluate the Effect of Single Dose GS-6615 on QT, Safety and Tolerability in Subjects With Long QT-3 Syndrome

This mechanism of action study is to evaluate the effect of oral GS-6615 on the QTc interval in participants with Long QT-3 syndrome. This study will be performed in six cohorts of participants in a sequential manner, four single-dose cohorts followed by two multiple-dose cohorts. Duration of treatment for the single-dose cohorts and multiple-dose cohorts will be 1 day and 7 days, respectively. Participants will be confined at the study center from check-in until completion of assessments at discharge.

Participants will be continuously monitored using real-time telemetry throughout the in-clinic confinement. Physical examinations including vital signs, laboratory analysis, electrocardiograms (ECGs), Holter recordings and echocardiography (ECHO) will be performed at defined time points throughout the study period. Assessment of adverse events and concomitant medications will continue throughout the duration of the study.

Use of systemic prescription medications or over-the-counter (OTC) medication, including multivitamins, and dietary and herbal supplement within 2 weeks or 5 times the terminal half-lives of the medication (whichever is longer) prior to the single dose of study drug, and for the duration of the study
  13. Use of any experimental or investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to the single dose of study drug or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer
  14. Females who are pregnant or lactating
  15. History of drug or alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to initial dosing of study drug
  16. Psychosocial or addictive disorders that would interfere with ability to give informed consent or could compromise compliance with the protocol

Baseline through Day 12
Changes in ECG parameters
Time Frame: Baseline through Day 12

ECG parameters assessed will include PR, RR, QRS, and QT.

  • RR: electrocardiographic interval representing the time measurement between the R wave of one heartbeat and the R wave of the preceding heartbeat
  • QRS: electrocardiographic deflection between the beginning of the Q wave and termination of the S wave representing time for ventricular depolarization
  • QT: electrocardiographic interval between the beginning of the Q wave and termination of the T wave representing the time for both ventricular depolarization and repolarization to occur
Baseline through Day 12
Changes in QTc interval (Bazett [QTcB])
Time Frame: Baseline through Day 7

Changes in QTcB from the time-matched ECG in the primary lead V5. In case QT cannot be measured in lead V5, lead II will be designated as the primary lead

  • Change from the time-matched ECG on Day -1 to Day 1 for Cohorts 1-4
