Laropiprant (LRPT), a prostaglandin D(2) receptor-1 antagonist shown to reduce niacin-induced flushing symptoms, has been combined with niacin for treatment of dyslipidemia. This study evaluated the effects of LRPT (50 mg and 600 mg, respectively) on the QT interval with Fridericia's correction (QTcF). QTcF measurements were made over a 24-hour period following administration of single-dose moxifloxacin 400 mg, LRPT 50 mg, LRPT 600 mg, or placebo. The primary hypothesis was supported if the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the least squares (LS) mean differences between placebo and LRPT in change from baseline in QTcF interval were <10 milliseconds at every time point. The upper limits of the 90% CIs for LS mean differences from placebo in changes from baseline in QTcF intervals for LRPT 50 mg and 600 mg were <5 milliseconds at every time point. The lower limits of the 90% CIs for placebo-adjusted LS mean changes from baseline in QTcF intervals for moxifloxacin exceeded 0 milliseconds at every time point, demonstrating the sensitivity of this assay to detect increases in the QTcF interval. In conclusion, single doses of LRPT 50 mg and 600 mg do not prolong the QTcF interval relative to placebo and are generally well tolerated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007211 Indoles Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
D008133 Long QT Syndrome A condition that is characterized by episodes of fainting (SYNCOPE) and varying degree of ventricular arrhythmia as indicated by the prolonged QT interval. The inherited forms are caused by mutation of genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. The two major forms are ROMANO-WARD SYNDROME and JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME. Electrocardiogram QT Prolonged
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011804 Quinolines
D011971 Receptors, Immunologic Cell surface molecules on cells of the immune system that specifically bind surface molecules or messenger molecules and trigger changes in the behavior of cells. Although these receptors were first identified in the immune system, many have important functions elsewhere. Immunologic Receptors,Immunologic Receptor,Immunological Receptors,Receptor, Immunologic,Receptors, Immunological
D011982 Receptors, Prostaglandin Cell surface receptors that bind prostaglandins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Prostaglandin receptor subtypes have been tentatively named according to their relative affinities for the endogenous prostaglandins. They include those which prefer prostaglandin D2 (DP receptors), prostaglandin E2 (EP1, EP2, and EP3 receptors), prostaglandin F2-alpha (FP receptors), and prostacyclin (IP receptors).
