Assessment of corrected JT-peak (JTpc) and Tpeak-to-Tend (TpTec) as proarrhythmia biomarkers in non-human primates: Outcome from a HESI consortium. J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods 2024; 129:107543. [PMID: 39019200 DOI: 10.1016/j.vascn.2024.107543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Corrected QT interval (QTc)is an established biomarker for drug-induced Torsade de Pointe (TdP), but with concerns for a false positive signal. Clinically, JTpc and TpTec have emerged as ECG sub-intervals to differentiate predominant hERG vs. mixed ion channel blocking drugs that prolong QTc. METHODS In a multicentric, prospective, controlled study, different proarrhythmic drug effects on QTc, JTpc and TpTec were characterized with cynomolgus monkeys using telemetry in a Lead II configuration for internal and external telemetry.Drugs and vehicle were administered orally (PO) to group size of 4 to 8 animals, in 4 laboratories. RESULTS In monkeys, dofetilide (0.03-0.3 mg/kg) was associated with exposure dependent QTc and JTpc increase, but no significant TpTec effect. Similarly, quinidine (2-50 mg/kg) increased QTc and JTpc but did not change TpTec. Mexiletine (1-15 mg/kg) and verapamil (50 mg/kg) did not induce any significant effect on QTc, JTpc or TpTec. DISCUSSION Clinically, predominant hERG blockers (dofetilide and quinidine) prolong QTc, JTpc and TpTec and are associated with increased risk for TdP. Results from this study demonstrate that ECG changes after dofetilide and quinidine administration to telemetered monkeys differ from the clinical response, lacking the expected effects on TpTec. Potential explanations for the lack of translation include physio-pharmacology species differences or ECG recording and analysis methodology variations. Mixed ion channel blockers verapamil and mexiletine administered to monkeys showed no significant QTc, JTpc or TpTec prolongation as expected based on the similar clinical response for these agents.

Abstract
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Division of Applied Regulatory Science (DARS) moves new science into the drug review process and addresses emergent regulatory and public health questions for the Agency. By forming interdisciplinary teams, DARS conducts mission-critical research to provide answers to scientific questions and solutions to regulatory challenges. Staffed by experts across the translational research spectrum, DARS forms synergies by pulling together scientists and experts from diverse backgrounds to collaborate in tackling some of the most complex challenges facing FDA. This includes (but is not limited to) assessing the systemic absorption of sunscreens, evaluating whether certain drugs can convert to carcinogens in people, studying drug interactions with opioids, optimizing opioid antagonist dosing in community settings, removing barriers to biosimilar and generic drug development, and advancing therapeutic development for rare diseases. FDA tasks DARS with wide ranging issues that encompass regulatory science; DARS, in turn, helps the Agency solve these challenges. The impact of DARS research is felt by patients, the pharmaceutical industry, and fellow regulators. This article reviews applied research projects and initiatives led by DARS and conducts a deeper dive into select examples illustrating the impactful work of the Division.

Electrocardiographic measures of repolarization heterogeneity are not predictive for Torsades de Pointes among undifferentiated patients with prolonged QTc: A case control study. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2023; 34:166-176. [PMID: 36335640 DOI: 10.1111/jce.15735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Torsades de Pointes (TdP) is a potentially lethal polymorphic ventricular tachydysrhythmia associated with and caused by prolonged myocardial repolarization. However, prediction of TdP is challenging. We sought to determine if electrocardiographic myocardial repolarization heterogeneity is necessary and predictive of TdP. METHODS We performed a case control study of TdP at a large urban hospital. We identified cases based on a hospital center electrocardiogram (ECG) database search for tracings from 1/2005 to 6/2019 with heart rate corrected QT (QTc) > 500, QRS < 120, and heart rate (HR) < 60, and a subsequent natural language search of electronic health records for the terms: TdP, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, sudden cardiac death, and relevant variants. Controls were drawn in a 2:1 ratio to cases from a similar pool of ECGs, and matching for QTc, heart rate, sex, and age. We abstracted historical, laboratory, and ECG data using detailed written instructions and an electronic database. We included a second blinded data abstractor to test data abstraction and manual ECG measurement reliability. We used General Electric (GE) QT Guard software for automated repolarization measurements. We compared groups using unpaired statistics. RESULTS We included 75 cases and 150 controls. The number of current QTc prolonging medications and serum electrolytes were substantially the same between the two groups. We found no significant difference in measures of QT or T wave repolarization heterogeneity. CONCLUSION Electrocardiographic repolarization heterogeneity is not greater in otherwise unselected patients with QTc prolongation who suffer TdP and does not appear predictive of TdP. However, previous observations suggest specific repolarization characteristics may be useful for defined patient subgroups at risk for TdP.

Electrophysiological and ECG Effects of Perhexiline, a Mixed Cardiac Ion Channel Inhibitor, Evaluated in Nonclinical Assays and in Healthy Subjects. J Clin Pharmacol 2021; 61:1606-1617.

Abstract
Perhexiline has been used to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In addition to its effect on carnitine-palmitoyltransferase-1, it has mixed ion channel effects through inhibition of several cardiac ion currents. Effects on cardiac ion channels expressed in mammalian cells were assayed using a manual patch-clamp technique, action potential duration (APD) was measured in ventricular trabeculae of human donor hearts, and electrocardiogram effects were evaluated in healthy subjects in a thorough QT (TQT) study. Perhexiline blocked several cardiac ion currents at concentrations within the therapeutic range (150-600 ng/mL) with IC50 for hCav1.2 ∼ hERG < late hNav1.5. A significant APD shortening was observed in perhexiline-treated cardiomyocytes. The TQT study was conducted with a pilot part in 9 subjects to evaluate a dosing schedule that would achieve therapeutic and supratherapeutic perhexiline plasma concentrations on days 4 and 6, respectively. Guided by the results from the pilot, 104 subjects were enrolled in a parallel-designed part with a nested crossover comparison for the positive control. Perhexiline caused QTc prolongation, with the largest effect on ΔΔQTcF, 14.7 milliseconds at therapeutic concentrations and 25.6 milliseconds at supratherapeutic concentrations and a positive and statistically significant slope of the concentration-ΔΔQTcF relationship (0.018 milliseconds per ng/mL; 90%CI, 0.0119-0.0237 milliseconds per ng/mL). In contrast, the JTpeak interval was shortened with a negative concentration-JTpeak relationship, a pattern consistent with multichannel block. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether this results in a low proarrhythmic risk.

Abstract
In August 2020, the International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) released a new draft document, which for the first time combined nonclinical (S7B) and clinical (E14) Questions and Answers (Q&As) into 1 document. FDA describes the revision as a “value proposition”: if the human ether‐à‐go‐go assay and the in vivo study are performed in a standardized way, the number of dedicated thorough QT (TQT) studies can be reduced. In this article, we describe and discuss the Q&As that relate to clinical ECG evaluation. If supported by negative standardized nonclinical assays, Q&A 5.1 will obviate the need for a TQT study in the case that a >2‐fold exposure margin vs high clinical scenario cannot be obtained. Q&A 6.1 addresses drugs that are poorly tolerated in healthy subjects and cannot be studied at high doses or in placebo‐controlled studies; it therefore mainly applies to oncology drugs. It will enable sponsors to claim that a new drug has a “low likelihood of proarrhythmic effects” in the case that the mean corrected QT effect is <10 milliseconds at the time of market application. The E14 2015 revision allowed application of concentration–corrected QT analysis on data from routinely performed clinical pharmacology studies, for example, the first‐in‐human study and the proportion of dedicated TQT studies has since steadily decreased. It can be foreseen that the proposed new revision will further reduce the number of TQT studies. To achieve harmonization across regulatory regions, it seems important to reach consensus within the International Council on Harmonisation group on the new threshold proposed in 6.1. For this purpose, the Implementation Working Group has asked for public comments.

Abstract
After multiple drugs were removed from the market secondary to drug-induced torsade de pointes (TdP) risk, the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) released guidelines in 2005 that focused on the nonclinical (S7B) and clinical (E14) assessment of surrogate biomarkers for TdP. Recently, Vargas et al. published a pharmaceutical-industry perspective making the case that "double-negative" nonclinical data (negative in vitro hERG and in vivo heart-rate corrected QT (QTc) assays) are associated with such low probability of clinical QTc prolongation and TdP that potentially all double-negative drugs would not need detailed clinical QTc evaluation. Subsequently, the ICH released a new E14/S7B Draft Guideline containing Questions and Answers (Q&As) that defined ways that double-negative nonclinical data could be used to reduce the number of "Thorough QT" (TQT) studies and reach a low-risk determination when a TQT or equivalent could not be performed. We review the Vargas et al. proposal in the context of what was contained in the ICH E14/S7B Draft Guideline and what was proposed by the ICH E14/S7B working group for a "stage 2" of updates (potential expanded roles for nonclinical data and details for assessing TdP risk of QTc-prolonging drugs). Although we do not agree with the exact probability statistics in the Vargas et al. paper because of limitations in the underlying datasets, we show how more modest predictive value of individual assays could still result in low probability for TdP with double-negative findings. Furthermore, we expect that the predictive value of the nonclinical assays will improve with implementation of the new ICH E14/S7B Draft Guideline.

Transdermal Testosterone Attenuates Drug-Induced Lengthening of Both Early and Late Ventricular Repolarization in Older Men. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2020; 109:1499-1504. [PMID: 33020898 PMCID: PMC10150401 DOI: 10.1002/cpt.2072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
We have previously reported that transdermal testosterone attenuates drug-induced QT interval lengthening in older men. However, it is unknown whether this is due to modulation of early ventricular repolarization, late repolarization, or both. In a secondary analysis of a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled three-way crossover study, we determined if transdermal testosterone and oral progesterone attenuate drug-induced lengthening of early and late ventricular repolarization, represented by the electrocardiographic measurements J-Tpeak c and Tpeak -Tend , respectively, as well as Tpeak -Tend /QT, a measure of transmural dispersion of repolarization. Male volunteers ≥ 65 years of age (n = 14) were randomized to receive transdermal testosterone 100 mg, oral progesterone 400 mg, or matching transdermal/oral placebo daily for 7 days. On the morning following the seventh day, subjects received intravenous ibutilide 0.003 mg/kg, after which electrocardiograms were performed serially. One subject was excluded due to difficulty in T-wave interpretation. Pre-ibutilide J-Tpeak c was lower during the testosterone phase than during progesterone and placebo (216 ± 23 vs. 227 ± 28 vs. 227 ± 21 ms, P = 0.002). Maximum post-ibutilide J-Tpeak c was also lower during the testosterone phase (233 ± 22 vs. 246 ± 29 vs. 248 ± 23 ms, P < 0.0001). Pre-ibutilide Tpeak -Tend was not significantly different during the three phases, but maximum post-ibutilide Tpeak -Tend was lower during the testosterone phase (80 ± 12 vs. 89 ± 18 vs. 86 ± 15 ms, P = 0.002). Maximum Tpeak -Tend /QT was also lower during the testosterone phase (0.199 ± 0.023 vs. 0.216 ± 0.035 vs. 0.209 ± 0.031, P = 0.005). Progesterone exerted minimal effect on drug-induced lengthening of J-Tpeak c, and no effect on Tpeak -Tend or Tpeak -Tend /QT. Transdermal testosterone attenuates drug-induced lengthening of both early and late ventricular repolarization in older men.
