RESUMO
We analyzed five crossover, thorough QT (TQT) studies to compare automated, manual, and computer-assisted (CA) measurement methods. All the methods detected moxifloxacin-induced, baseline-adjusted, placebo-subtracted mean changes in Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF), with peak effect ranging from 10 to 21 ms. The variability associated with manual and CA measurements was generally 5-28% greater than that associated with automated methods. The performances of automated, manual, and CA measurements were comparable for the purpose of demonstrating assay sensitivity in TQT studies with healthy volunteers.
