To Investigate the Effects of AZD1981 on the QT Interval

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Asthma
Interventions
Drug: AZD1981, 2000mg
Drug: AZD1981, 200mg
Drug: Moxifloxacin, 400mg
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01265641
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effect of AZD1981 on the electrical activity of the heart, in particular when the heart muscle is relaxed during a heart beat cycle. The effect of AZD1981 will be compared to a licensed antibiotic (moxifloxacin) which is well known to affect the electrical activity of the heart, but this effect is known to be at levels that are safe at the dose used in this study. The investigators will also compare the effects of AZD1981 with a "dummy drug" (placebo). The investigators will also be evaluating how safe and well tolerated AZD1981 is and how much AZD1981 enters the blood circulation by collecting blood during the study.

To evaluate the effect of a single supra maximal therapeutic dose of AZD1981on QT interval - QTcFdECG and telemetry measurements taken pre-dose and up to and including 48 hours post dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the effect of a therapeutic dose of AZD1981on QT interval -QTcFdECG and telemetry measurements taken pre-dose and up to and including 48 hours post dose
To evaluate the effect of AZD1981 on additional electrocardiogram variables - QTcB -RR PR QRS.dECG and telemetry measurements taken pre-dose and up to and including 48 hours post dose
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of AZD1981 -frequency of adverse events - laboratory safety assessments - vital signs - physical examination - ECG.Adverse events recorded at all four residential visits (one week washout between visits) and at follow up (7-10 days following last residential visit)
