About this study

Official title: A Placebo- and Positive-Controlled Study of the Electrophysiological Effects on the QT Interval After a Supratherapeutic Dose of LY2140023 in Subjects With Schizophrenia

This study determined if a single dose of LY2140023 (pomaglumetad methionil) affects the electrical activity in the heart in participants with schizophrenia. This study also helped determine how a single high dose of LY2140023 is tolerated by participants.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study was to determine that a single supratherapeutic dose of LY2140023 does not differ from placebo in the mean change from baseline in 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) QT interval measurements, such that the upper bound of the 2-sided 90% confidence interval (CI) for the greatest time-matched mean effect is <10 ms in subjects with schizophrenia. The secondary objective was to further evaluate the tolerability of a supratherapeutic single dose of LY2140023 monohydrate.

Male or female subjects diagnosed with schizophrenia and aged between 18 and 65 years, inclusive, who had not been hospitalized for psychiatric illness for at least 12 weeks prior to Day 1 of the lead-in period, and who had a Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale score of <4 were included in the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline up to 12 Hours Postdose in QT Interval Corrected for Heart Rate (QTc)

    The QT interval is a measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave. QT intervals from quadruplicate electrocardiogram (ECG) data were corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula: QTcF = QT/RR^0.333, where RR is the interval between two R waves. Least squares (LS) mean changes from baseline in QTcF were calculated using a mixed-effects model with baseline QTcF, treatment, time, period, sequence, and the time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and participant and the participant-by-period interaction as random effects.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 12 hours postdose in each treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LY2140023 and Moxifloxacin in people with Schizophrenic Disorders, run by Denovo Biopharma LLC at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 31 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Apr 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline up to 12 Hours Postdose in QT Interval Corrected for Heart Rate (QTc) (time frame: Baseline, up to 12 hours postdose in each treatment period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Apr 2023.
