A Study in Healthy Young Men to Look at What Drives the Cardiovascular Effects After Dosing With Mirabegron.

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy Volunteers; Pharmacodynamics of Mirabegron
• Interventions: Drug: mirabegron; Drug: Bisoprolol; Drug: propranolol; Drug: placebo

• Registration Number: NCT01284868
• Lead Sponsor: Astellas Pharma Inc

Brief Summary

To explore what is driving heart-rate increases after dosing with mirabegron. Subjects will be given a beta-blocker at the same time as mirabegron.

Detailed Description

Impedance cardiography parameters will be assessed and compared when mirabegron (or placebo), is taken in combination with a selective beta-blocker, a non-selective beta-blocker or placebo.

Exclusion Criteria

• Known or suspected hypersensitivity to mirabegron, propranolol or bisoprolol, or any components of the formulations used
• Any of the liver function tests (i.e. ALT, AST) above the upper limit of normal at repeated measures
• Any clinically significant history of bronchospasm, asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis during the pollen season, any other allergic condition or previous severe hypersensitivity to any drug (excluding non-active hay fever)
• Any clinically significant history of sinus bradycardia, first and second degree atrioventricular block, metabolic acidosis, Raynaud's disease, cardiogenic shock, right ventricular failure secondary to pulmonary hypertension, bronchospasms, angina, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, overt cardiac failure, congestive heart failure, sick sinus syndrome or any other cardiovascular or ECG abnormalities
• Any clinically significant history of any other disease or disorder - gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, neurological, dermatological, psychiatric or metabolic as judged by the medical investigator
• Any clinically significant abnormality following the investigator's review of the pre-study physical examination, ECG and clinical laboratory tests
• Abnormal heart rate and/or blood pressure measurements at the pre-study visit as follows: Heart rate <50 or >90 bpm; mean systolic blood pressure <90 or >140 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure <40 or >90 mmHg (blood pressure measurements taken in triplicate after subject has been resting in supine position for 5 minutes; heart rate will be measured automatically)
• A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval after repeated measurements of > 430 ms, a history of unexplained syncope, cardiac arrest, unexplained cardiac arrhythmias or torsades de pointes, structural heart disease, or a family history of Long QT Syndrome
• PR interval > 200 ms or < 120 ms
• Evidence of second- or third-degree atrioventricular block
• Electrocardiographic evidence of complete left bundle branch block (LBBB), right bundle branch block or incomplete LBBB
• Intraventricular conduction delay with QRS duration > 120 ms
• Pathological Q-waves (defined as Q-wave > 40 ms or depth greater than 0.4 - 0.5 mV)
• Evidence of ventricular pre-excitation
• Use of any prescribed or OTC drugs (including vitamins, natural and herbal remedies, e.g. St. John's Wort) in the 2 weeks prior to admission to the Clinical Unit, except for occasional use of paracetamol (up to 3 g/day)
• Regular use of any inducer of liver metabolism (e.g. barbiturates, rifampin) in the 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
• Any use of drugs of abuse within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
• History of smoking more than 10 cigarettes (or equivalent amount of tobacco) per day within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
• History of drinking more than 21 units of alcohol per week (1 unit = 200 ml of beer or 25 ml of spirits or 75 ml of wine) within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
• Donation of blood or blood products within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
• Positive serology test for HBsAg, anti HAV (IgM), anti-HCV or anti-HIV 1+2
• Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not likely to complete the trial for any reason
• Participation in any clinical study within 3 months or participation in more than 3 clinical studies within 12 months, prior to the expected date of enrolment into the study, provided that the clinical study did not entail a biological compound with a long terminal half life
• Any clinical condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator would not allow safe completion of the study
