Evaluation of opicapone on cardiac repolarization in a thorough QT/QTc study

Résumé

Opicapone, a novel third-generation catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor for use as adjunctive therapy in levodopa-treated Parkinson's disease patients, was investigated on cardiac repolarization in healthy adult volunteers. This was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, open-label active-controlled, 4-period crossover study conducted in 64 subjects. In each period, subjects received a single oral dose of 50 mg opicapone, 800 mg opicapone, placebo, or 400 mg moxifloxacin and 24-hour 12-lead Holter monitoring was performed on day -1 (baseline) and after each single dose. After a single oral administrations of 50 and 800 mg opicapone, opicapone was the major entity in the circulation, with a median tmax of 1.5–2.0 hours. Opicapone was rapidly eliminated, with an elimination half-life of 1–2 hours. There was no clinically relevant effect of 50 and 800 mg opicapone versus placebo on cardiac depolarization or repolarization. All upper bounds of the 1-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) were below 10 milliseconds, confirming that opicapone has no QT-prolonging effect. Moxifloxacin caused an increase in the QTcI, with a lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI always higher than 5 milliseconds, around the tmax of peak concentration, demonstrating assay sensitivity. In conclusion, administration of opicapone at therapeutic (50 mg) and supratherapeutic (800 mg) doses did not induce a clinically significant prolongation of the QTc interval
