Effect of BIA 5 1058 on Cardiac Repolarization

This will be a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and open-label, active controlled, 4 period, crossover study in healthy male and female subjects under fed conditions.

The study will be double blinded for BIA 5-1058 and placebo and open label for moxifloxacin. The central ECG laboratory and ECG readers will be blinded to study treatment sequence, timepoint, and subject. All subjects will receive each of the following 4 treatments:

• 400 mg BIA 5 1058
• 1200 mg BIA 5 1058
• placebo
• 400 mg moxifloxacin

Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study between 28 and 3 days prior to the first treatment administration. For each treatment period, subjects will be admitted into the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) on Day 2 and be confined to the CRU until Discharge on Day 4. Each subject will receive a single dose of study medication on Day 1 of each treatment period. There will be a washout of at least 10 days between doses, and subjects will return to the CRU for a Follow-up visit 14 ± 2 days after Period 4 Discharge. The total duration of study participation for each subject from Screening through Follow-up visit) is anticipated to be approximately 80 days.

The start of the study is defined as the date the first enrolled subject signs an Informed Consent Form (ICF). The point of enrollment occurs at the time of subject number allocation. The end of the study is defined as the date of the last subject's last assessment (scheduled or unscheduled).

Inclusion criteria

• Able to comprehend and willing to sign an ICF before any study procedure and to abide by the study restrictions.

Exclusion criteria

• Significant history or clinical manifestation of any metabolic, allergic, dermatological, hepatic, renal, hematological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, respiratory, endocrine, or psychiatric disorder, as determined by the Investigator (or designee).
• Increased risk if dosed with moxifloxacin, according to the product label for moxifloxacin.
• History of tendonitis or tendon rupture associated with treatment with quinolone antibiotics.
• History of significant hypersensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to any drug compound, food, or other substance, unless approved by the Investigator (or designee).
• History of stomach or intestinal surgery or resection that would potentially alter absorption and/or excretion of orally administered drugs (uncomplicated appendectomy and hernia repair will be allowed).
• Subjects with alanine aminotransferase >1.0 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or aspartate aminotransferase >1.0 × ULN and/or total bilirubin >1.0 × ULN (isolated bilirubin >1.0 × ULN and ≤1.5 × ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%), as confirmed by subsequent repeat assessment, at Screening or Period 1 Check-in.
• Sustained supine systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg or <90 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg at Screening or baseline for Period 1 unless deemed not clinically significant by the Investigator.
• A resting ECG HR <45 bpm or >90 bpm.
• An abnormal ECG indicating a second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, or one or more of the following: QRS interval >110 ms, QTcF <300 ms or >450 ms, or PR interval >220 ms. Any rhythm other than sinus rhythm that is interpreted by the Investigator to be clinically significant.
• History of additional risk factors for torsades de pointes (eg, heart failure, hypokalemia) or a family history of long QT syndrome or sudden death.
• History of clinically significant alcoholism or drug/chemical abuse.
• Alcohol consumption of >28 units per week for males and >21 units per week for females. One unit of alcohol equals ½ pint (285 mL) of beer or lager, 1 glass (125 mL) of wine, or 1/6 gill (25 mL) of spirits.
• Positive alcohol breath test result, positive urine cotinine test, or positive urine drug screen (confirmed by repeat) at Screening or Period 1 Check-in.
• Positive hepatitis panel and/or positive human immunodeficiency virus test. Subjects whose results are compatible with prior immunization may be included at the discretion of the Investigator.
• Participation in a clinical study involving administration of an investigational drug (new chemical entity) in the past 90 days prior to the first dose.
• Use or intend to use any medications/products known to alter QT/QTc within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
• Use or intend to use any medications/products known to alter drug absorption, metabolism, or elimination processes, including St. John's wort, within 30 days prior to the first dose, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
• Use or intend to use any prescription medications/products including hormone replacement therapy and oral, implantable, transdermal, injectable, or intrauterine hormonal contraceptives within 14 days prior to the first dose, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
• Use or intend to use any slow-release medications/products considered to still be active within 14 days prior to the first dose, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
• Use or intend to use any nonprescription medications/products including vitamins, minerals, and phytotherapeutic/herbal/plant derived preparations within 7 days prior to the first dose, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
