Treatment with Volanesorsen, a 2'-O-Methoxyethyl-Modified Antisense Oligonucleotide Targeting APOC3 mRNA, Does Not Affect the QTc Interval in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of volanesorsen on the corrected QT (QTc) interval. This thorough QT study enrolled 52 healthy male and female subjects who were randomized at a single site in a four-way crossover study. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 12 treatment sequences and crossed over into four treatment periods over the course of which each subject was to receive a single therapeutic dose of volanesorsen as a 300 mg subcutaneous (SC) injection, a single supratherapeutic dose of volanesorsen as 300 mg intravenous (IV) infusion, a single oral (PO) dose of moxifloxacin (positive control), and placebo dose. The study demonstrated that volanesorsen 300 mg SC and 300 mg IV did not have a clinically relevant effect on ΔΔQTcF exceeding 10 ms. The largest mean effect a
