NCT04255277

Brief Summary

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind for cenerimod, open-label for moxifloxacin, placebo- and moxifloxacin-controlled, parallel-group study to investigate the effect of cenerimod on the duration of the QT interval in healthy male and female participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the 4 treatments: placebo, cenerimod 0.5 mg, cenerimod 4 mg or moxifloxacin.

They must consistently and correctly use (from screening, during the entire study, and up to end-of-study) a highly effective method of contraception with a failure rate of less than 1% per year (i.e., intrauterine device, bilateral tubal occlusion) or be sexually inactive, or have a vasectomized partner. Hormonal contraceptive must not be used within 3 months prior to screening until end of study visit.

  • Lymphopenia (\< 1000 cells/μL) at Screening and on Day -1.
  • Familial history of sick-sinus syndrome.
  • Any cardiac condition or illness (including ECG abnormalities) with a potential to increase the cardiac risk of the subject based on the standard 12-lead ECG at screening.
  • History of major medical or surgical disorders which, in the opinion of the investigator, are likely to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study treatment (appendectomy and herniotomy allowed, cholecystectomy not allowed).
  • Acute, ongoing, recurrent, or chronic systemic disease able to interfere with the evaluation.
  • Clinically relevant history of fainting, collapse, syncope, orthostatic hypotension, or vasovagal reactions.
