Effects of HSK3486 on Cardiac Repolarization in Health Subjects (TQT)

This is a single-center, randomized, blinded (except moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablet), placebo and positive controlled study with a 6-sequence, three-period crossover design in healthy subjects. A blinded design is used for administration of HSK3486 and placebo, and an open-label design is used for moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablet.

Subjects meet the including criteria and none of exclusion criteria are randomized in equal proportion to one of 6 dosing sequences (see Table 2 for dosing sequences), and the study procedure consisted of 3 periods, with washout period of 5 days between periods.

Subjects are closely monitored on vital sign checking, 12-lead ECG, and Holter collection through out each treatment period.

• Knowledge of any kind of cardiovascular disorder/condition/procedure known to increase the possibility of QT prolongation or history of risk factors for torsade de pointes (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, congenital Long QT syndrome, or family history of Long QT Syndrome).
• Laboratory tests at screening or baseline judged clinically significant by the investigator, including, but not limited to, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 1.2 × upper limit of normal (ULN)(the upper limit of the reference range at screening or baseline), direct bilirubin > ULN (congenital nonhemolytic hyperbilirubinemia [e.g., suspicion of Gilbert's syndrome based on total and direct bilirubin] is not acceptable), creatine kinase (CK) > ULN (one repeat test allowed), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) outside normal range (0.75 to 5.6 mIU/L) , serum potassium outside normal range (3.5 to 5.3 mmol/L).
• Rest sitting vital sign results abnormal and clinically significant at screening or baseline, ear temperature outside normal range, diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg, heart rate (HR) < 55 beats/min or > 100 beats/min (test can be repeated once according to investigator's judgment).
• Oxygen saturation (SpO2) below 95% at baseline.
• Abnormal 12-lead ECG at screening or baseline (any test abnormality), including any of the following:

• QTcF > 450 ms
• QRS > 110 ms
• PR > 200 ms
• Second or third-degree AV block
• Any rhythm other than sinus rhythm of clinical significance.
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 90 mL/min (estimated using MDRD equation).
• Participation in another clinical study of an investigational drug (or medical device) within 3 months (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to dosing, or previous participation in any other clinical trial related to HSK3486.
• Donation of blood within 3 months prior to screening, plasma within 2 weeks prior to screening, platelets within 6 weeks prior to screening, or receive blood products within 2 months prior to admission to the investigational site.
• Sperm and egg donation program from screening period to 90 days after study end.
• Pregnant or lactating women or those with positive pregnancy test results. Male or female subjects of childbearing potential did not agree to use an effective method of contraception from the time of signing ICF until 90 days after leaving the investigational site after the last dose (see Appendix 6 for details of specific contraceptive methods).
• 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 dosing or during the clinical trial.
• Use or intend to use of any prescription, nonprescription, vitamin, herbal, or nutraceutical within 14 days prior to dosing or during the clinical trial.
