Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effect of naltrexone and bupropion extended-release combination on cardiac repolarization in healthy participants.

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called naltrexone HCl/bupropion HCl (NB). NB is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in addition to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adults who are obese or who are overweight and have at least one additional weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol. This study is conducted to determine the potential effect of NB relative to placebo on cardiac repolarization. The study will enroll approximately 84 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to 1 of 6 treatment sequences, which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need): * Naltrexone/Bupropion + Placebo + Moxifloxacin * Placebo + Moxifloxacin + Naltrexone/Bupropion * Moxifloxacin + Naltrexone/Bupropion + Placebo * Naltrexone/Bupropion + Moxifloxacin + Placebo * Placebo + Naltrexone/Bupropion + Moxifloxacin * Moxifloxacin + Placebo + Naltrexone/Bupropion This study is consisted of 3 periods separated by a washout period (Days 11 through 25). Participants will be admitted to the clinic on Day -2 (Check-in) of each study period and will remain confined to the clinic until the morning of Day 12 of each study period. On Day -1 and Day 11 of each period, participants will undergo 24 hour Holter recordings using an ambulatory electrocardiograph recorder. This single center trial will be conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 96 days.

Time Frame: Time matched Baseline and Day 11 within 30 minutes predose and up to 23.5 hours postdose

QT and RR intervals will be recorded using ECG machines. Fridericia correction method is calculated by dividing QT interval by the cube root of the RR interval: QTcF = QT/RR\^1/3.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Time-Matched Change From Baseline in QT Interval With Bazett Correction Method (QTcB) at Day 11(Time matched baseline and at multiple time-points (up to 23.5 hours) postdose on Day 11)
  • Time-Matched Change From Baseline in QT Interval With Individual Correction Method (QTcI) at Day 11(Time matched baseline and at multiple time-points (up to 23.5 hours) postdose on Day 11)
  • QTcF, QTcB, QTcI, and QT intervals >450 msec, >480 msec or >500 msec at Day 11(Day 11)

  • 9. Percentage of Participants Reporting at least one Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)(Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug)
  • Time-Matched Change From Baseline in Uncorrected QT at Day 11(Time matched baseline and at multiple time-points (up to 23.5 hours) postdose on Day 11)
  • Time-Matched Increases From Baseline in QTcF, QTcB, QTcI, and QT > 30 msec and > 60 msec at Day 11(Baseline and Day 11)
  • Cmax- Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for Naltrexone, Bupropion, and their Metabolites(Day 11: predose and at multiple time points (up to 23.5 hours) postdose)
