Study Evaluating The Effects Of Oprelvekin On Cardiac Repolarization In Subjects With Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia
- Registration Number
- NCT00886743
- Lead Sponsor
- Pfizer
- Brief Summary
This is an open-label study in which oprelvekin will be administered for the prevention of severe low blood platelet cell counts (cells in your blood that keep bleeding and clotting stable) in adults with cancer who are taking chemotherapy (anti-cancer drug) that has a side effect of blocking your bone marrow from making platelet cells. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of the recommended dose of oprelvekin on the heart's electrical cycle.

- Men and women must be 18 to 65 years of age, with nonmyeloid malignancies for whom oprelvekin is indicated.
- At least one documented occasion of adequate hematologic recovery from previous or current chemotherapy.
- Adequate renal and hepatic excretory function.
- A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (eg, repeated [two out of three readings] demonstration of a QTcF interval >450 msec.
- Additional risk factors for torsades de pointes including heart failure (subjects that have functional class III or IV congestive heart failure), hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or hypocalcemia.
- A pace maker or defibrillator.
- A history of LQTS, syncope, seizure, or the unexplained cardiac-related death of a family member at less than 30 years of age.
- Requirement of concomitant prescription or non-prescription medications or dietary supplements that have a risk of causing torsades de pointes or prolonged QT/QTc interval.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time-matched Change From Baseline in Corrected QT Interval Using a Population-specific Correction Formula (QTcN) Postdose Day 1 to end of treatment Because the sponsor terminated the study prematurely, this population-specific correction of QT was not done. QT data collected during the study corrected using the Bazett's and Fridericia formulae are presented as secondary outcome measures.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Time-matched Change From Baseline in Corrected QT (QTc) Interval ≥30 or 60 Msec Using Fridericia's (QTcF) and Bazett's (QTcB) Correction Formulas Postdose Day 1 to end of treatment Based on average across triplicates for a given hourly measurement.
Number of Participants With Corrected QT (QTc) Interval ≥450, ≥480, and ≥500 Msec Using Bazett's (QTcB) and Fridericia's (QTcF) Correction Formulas Postdose Day 1 to end of treatment Definition of QTc is based on observed individual values rather than the average across triplicate starting from Day 1 postdose through the end of treatment.
