Study summary

The primary objective of this trial was to investigate the potential effects of pentoxyverine on the ECGs of healthy subjects. A secondary objective was the exploration of safety and tolerability. Pharmacokinetics (PK) were only to be investigated if necessary for the explanation of ECG effects.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Healthy male and female subjects according to the following criteria:

  9. Intake of drugs with a long half-life (> 24 hours) within at least one month or less than 10 half-lives of the respective drug prior to administration or during the trial
  10. Use of drugs which might reasonably influence the results of the trial or that prolong the QT/QTc interval based on the knowledge at the time of protocol preparation within 10 days prior to administration or during the trial
  11. Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within two months prior to administration or during the trial

  19. Inability to comply with dietary regimen of trial site
  20. A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval >450 ms);
  21. A history of additional risk factors for torsade de pointes (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome)
