What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference from placebo of Efavirenz (EFV) in change from period-specific baseline in the QT interval corrected for heart rate (HR) via Fridericia's method (QTcF) at postdose extraction times (ΔΔQTcF)

    QTcF = QT corrected for Fridericia's formula

    Time frame: Days 1, 2, 5, 6, 19 and 20

Secondary outcomes

  1. Difference from placebo of EFV in change from period-specific baseline in other ECG parameters: HR, PR, QRS, and uncorrected QT following 14 days of dosing

    ECG = Electrocardiogram

    Time frame: Days 1, 5 and 19

  2. Difference from placebo of Moxifloxacin in change from period-specific baseline in QTcF (ΔΔQTcF) following a single dose

    Time frame: Days 1, 5 and 19

  3. Number and percent of subjects having a maximum QTcF, HR, PR, and QRS outside of pre-specified categories and those having a maximum ΔQTcF outside of pre-specified categories

    Time frame: Days 1, 5 and 19

  4. Time of maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax) of EFV

    Time frame: Days 1, 2, 19 and 20

  5. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of EFV

    Time frame: Days 1, 2, 19 and 20

  6. Trough observed plasma concentration 24 h after a dose (C24) of EFV

    Time frame: Days 1, 2, 19 and 20

  7. Area under the concentration-time curve in one dosing interval (AUC(TAU)) of EFV

    Time frame: Days 1, 2, 19 and 20

  8. Safety based on incidence of AEs, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, marked laboratory abnormalities, findings on 12-lead safety ECG measurements and physical examinations, and abnormalities in vital sign measurements exceeding pre-defined thresholds

    Serious AE (SAE)

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after discontinuation of dose (approximately 52 days)
