What is being measured

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

  1. Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in Corrected QT Interval by Fridericia' Formula (QTcF) for Evobrutinib

    A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the relationship between evobrutinib and MSC2729909A concentrations and ΔQTc. Based on this model, drug-induced ΔΔQTc and its two-sided 90% CI was predicted over the clinical concentration range and at concentrations corresponding to the observed geometric mean Cmax following administration of 45 mg and 225 mg evobrutinib. The higher geometric mean Cmax calculated based on the PK and ECG Analysis Sets was considered.

    Measured: Baseline and from 1 hour before any administration until 24 hours post-administration at the following timepoints: -1-hour, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 24 hours

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal relationship with this treatment.Therefore, an AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormallaboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of amedicinal product, regardless if it is considered related to the medicinal product.Serious AE: AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening;persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization;congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs are defined as AEs that were reported orworsened on or after start of study drug dosing through the Safety Follow-up Visit.TEAEs included both serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs. Treatment related AEs:reasonably related to the study drug/study treatment.

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  3. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Based on Severity

    Severity of adverse events (AE) were assessed by the investigator. The Investigator assessed the intensity of each AE and SAE reported during the study and assigned it to 1 of the following categories:

    1. Mild: A type of adverse event that is usually transient and may require only minimal treatment or therapeutic intervention. The event does not generally interfere with usual activities of daily living. 2. Moderate: A type of adverse event that is usually alleviated with additional specific therapeutic intervention. The event interferes with usual activities of daily living, causing discomfort but poses no significant or permanent risk of harm to the research participant. 3. Severe: A type of adverse event that interrupts usual activities of daily living, or significantly affects clinical status, or may require intensive therapeutic intervention. Number of participants with severe adverse events were reported.

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities From Baseline in Safety Laboratory Tests

    The laboratory measurements included hematology, blood chemistry and urinalysis. Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities from baseline were reported. Clinically Significance was decided by investigator.

    Measured: Up to Day 29

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities From Baseline in Vital Signs

    Vital sign assessment included blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature and respiration (frequency per minute). Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in vital signs were reported. Clinically significance was decided by investigator.

    Measured: Up to Day 29

  6. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    The 12-lead ECG recordings were obtained after 5 minutes of rest in a semi-supine position. ECG recordings included rhythm, ventricular rate, PR interval, QRS duration, QT and QTc intervals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Moxifloxacin, M2951 Low Dose and M2951 High Dose in people with Healthy, run by Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, an affiliate of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 13 Nov 2025. 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 Germany. 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. 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 13 Nov 2025). 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?

Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in Corrected QT Interval by Fridericia' Formula (QTcF) for Evobrutinib (time frame: Baseline and from 1 hour before any administration until 24 hours post-administration at the following timepoints: -1-hour, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 24 hours). 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 13 Nov 2025.
