About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Evaluate QTcF Prolongation and Proarrhythmic Potential of the Non Antiarrhythmic Drug Delgocitinib Following Oral Administration in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effects of delgocitinib, taken as a capsule, on the heart rhythms of healthy people, compared to a placebo.

Read the detailed description

The trial will be performed in two parts.

  • Part 1: Group 1 (dose 1 or placebo) and Group 2 (dose 2 or placebo)
  • Part 2: Group 3 (dose 3 or placebo) and Group 4 (dose 4 or placebo)

The doses in Part 2 may be adjusted depending on the results of Part 1.

Participants will be screened within 28 days of their dose. Participants will stay in the clinic from Day -1 to Day 2 (1 day postdose) and will be dosed on Day 1. A follow up phone call will take place 2 week (±2 days) after dosing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline QTcF (ΔQTcF)

    Replicate electrocardiograms (ECGs) (10 ECG replicates) for the determination of ΔQTc interval will be extracted from the continuous digital 12-lead ECG recording

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Placebo-corrected change from baseline QTcF (ΔΔQTcF)

    Replicate electrocardiograms (ECGs) (10 ECG replicates) for the determination of ΔΔQTc interval will be extracted from the continuous digital 12-lead ECG recording

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  2. Change from baseline of Heart Rate (ΔHR)

    Replicate electrocardiograms (ECGs) (10 ECG replicates) for the determination of ΔHR interval will be extracted from the continuous digital 12-lead ECG recording

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  3. Placebo-corrected, change from baseline of Heart Rate (ΔΔHR)

    Replicate electrocardiograms (ECGs) (10 ECG replicates) for the determination of ΔΔHR interval will be extracted from the continuous digital 12-lead ECG recording

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  4. Change from baseline of Pulse Rate (ΔPR)

    Measurement of PR will be performed manually from electrocardiograms (ECGs).

    Measured: predose to 24 hourse postdose

  5. Placebo-corrected, change from baseline of Pulse Rate (ΔΔPR)

    Measurement of PR will be performed manually from electrocardiograms (ECGs).

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  6. Change from baseline of QRS interval (ΔQRS)

    Measurement of QRS will be performed manually from electrocardiograms (ECGs).

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  7. Placebo-corrected, change from baseline of QRS interval (ΔΔQRS)

    Measurement of QRS will be performed manually from electrocardiograms (ECGs).

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  8. Frequency of treatment emergent changes in T-wave morphology.

    Measurement of T-wave morphology will be performed manually

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  9. Frequency of treatment emergent changes in U-waves presence

    Measurement of U-waves presence will be performed manually

    Measured: predose to 24 hours postdose

  10. Categorical outliers for QTcF, HR, PR interval, and QRS duration.

    Analysis perfomed for changes in categorical outlines based on treatment emergent adverse events.

    Measured: predose to 24 hours post-dose

  11. Number of treatment emergent adverse events

    Measured: dosing to day 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Delgocitinib capsule in people with Healthy, run by LEO Pharma at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 28 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 QTcF (ΔQTcF) (time frame: predose to 24 hours postdose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05050279, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Apr 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
