The effects of supratherapeutic doses of intravenous (IV) relebactam on duration of ventricular depolarization and subsequent repolarization were assessed in a thorough QT/corrected QT study. This was a single-dose, double-blind (relebactam only), randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled, 3-period, balanced crossover study in healthy participants. Participants received in randomized order, and separated by a washout (≥4 days), a single dose of IV relebactam 1150 mg, oral moxifloxacin 400 mg (open-label positive control), and IV placebo. Least squares mean and 2-sided 90% confidence interval for change from baseline in population-derived corrected QT intervals for relebactam, moxifloxacin, and placebo were estimated for 24 hours. The upper limit of the 90% confidence interval of all least squares mean population-derived corrected QT treatment differences from placebo was not >10 milliseconds at any time point for 24 hours. Corrected QT assay sensitivity was confirmed with moxifloxacin treatment. Analysis of electrocardiogram parameters resulted in no additional cardiac safety concerns. Overall, a supratherapeutic dose of relebactam yielded no cardiac safety events; the 1150-mg supratherapeutic dose (4.6-fold above the 250-mg therapeutic dose) was not associated with QT prolongation or other abnormal cardiodynamic parameters. This study lends additional support to relebactam's use as a β-lactamase inhibitor in antimicrobial therapy.

D053961 Azabicyclo Compounds Bicyclic bridged compounds that contain a nitrogen which has three bonds. The nomenclature indicates the number of atoms in each path around the rings, such as [2.2.2] for three equal length paths. Some members are TROPANES and BETA LACTAMS.

D018592 Cross-Over Studies Studies comparing two or more treatments or interventions in which the subjects or patients, upon completion of the course of one treatment, are switched to another. In the case of two treatments, A and B, half the subjects are randomly allocated to receive these in the order A, B and half to receive them in the order B, A. A criticism of this design is that effects of the first treatment may carry over into the period when the second is given.
