Raltegravir Thorough QT/QTc Study: A Single Supratherapeutic Dose of Raltegravir Does Not Prolong the QTcF Interval

Abstract: Raltegravir is a novel HIV-1 integrase inhibitor with potent in vitro activity (IC(95) = 31 nM in 50% human serum). A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-dummy, 3-period, single-dose crossover study was conducted; subjects received single oral doses of 1600 mg raltegravir, 400 mg moxifloxacin, and placebo. The upper limit of the 2-sided 90% confidence interval for the QTcF interval placebo-adjusted mean change from baseline of raltegravir was less than 10 ms at every time point. For the ralteg… Show more

“…The study lacked a positive control that limits assessment of assay sensitivity; however, past clinical experience with similar monitoring techniques have consistently shown positive findings of QTc prolongation with positive controls (such as moxifloxacin), suggesting that this may not be a major deficiency (15,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Additionally, blood draws during placebo administration were not done, which may have led to potential unblinding of study therapy to patients.…”

“…This method of investigation has been documented as a generalizable study design (15). If there were findings seen at the supratherapeutic dose, use of modeling and simulation could characterize concentration effects and dose-response relationships.…”

“…Prior studies with raltegravir10 and dolutegravir11 suggest that INSTIs do not affect cardiac repolarization. Consistent with previous preclinical and clinical12 evidence, this study in healthy subjects demonstrates that doses of cabotegravir achieving supratherapeutic concentrations compared with anticipated therapeutic doses do not prolong the QT interval and, thus, have no effect on cardiac repolarization.…”
