Cagrilintide is not associated with clinically relevant QTc prolongation: A thorough QT study in healthy participants

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Cagrilintide did not result in clinically relevant QTcF prolongation, indicating no increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Study context

Population
Healthy participants
Participants
105 participants
Comparison
Once-weekly SC cagrilintide vs placebo
  • Cagrilintiden = 53
  • Placebon = 52reference
Primary endpoint
Time-matched change from baseline in QTcF; no clinically relevant prolongation if upper limit of two-sided 90% CI for treatment difference <10 ms at each time point
Follow-up
12, 24, 48 and 72 h after last cagrilintide 4.5-mg dose
Methodological detailsthorough QT study, double-blind, placebo-controlled, nested cross-over moxifloxacin positive control
  • Thorough QT study
  • Double-blind
  • Placebo-controlled
  • Nested cross-over moxifloxacin positive control

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Placebo-adjusted QTcF change from baseline · 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after last 4.5-mg dose
  • No clinically relevant QTcF prolongation; upper limits of two-sided 90% CIs of placebo-adjusted QTcF changes from baseline were below 10 ms at all time points

Further findings

QT assay sensitivity demonstrated with moxifloxacin as positive control
