Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-center, partial-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel design study with a nested crossover comparison to define the ECG effects of tizanidine compared to placebo and the positive control, moxifloxacin, in healthy men and women. The study will be conducted in a Phase 1 unit with sufficient facilities to house subjects as required by the protocol.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• All subjects of childbearing potential must practice a highly effective method of birth control excluding oral contraceptives for the duration of the trial and up to 3 months after the last dose of investigational product. Oral contraceptives are not allowed, based on the precaution listed in the Zanaflex package insert.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Female who is either pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant
• History of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to tizanidine or moxifloxacin or any of the tablet components
• Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption, metabolism or excretion including previous surgery for removal of parts of stomach, bowel, liver, gall bladder, or pancreas
• History of Long QT Syndrome or a first-generation relative with this condition
• Evidence or history of clinically significant allergies except for untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of dosing, hematological, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, psychiatric, or neurological disease. Determination of clinical significance is to be made at the Investigator's discretion
• History or presence of any malignant or benign neoplasm considered by the investigator to be clinically significant
• History of drug or alcohol abuse or dependence within the last year
• Have an active infectious disease

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The Primary Endpoint Will be the Baseline-adjusted, Placebo-corrected Effect on QTc (??QTc) on Day 14.	Change from baseline in Cardiac Repolarization (QTc Interval) at Day 14 (Tizanidine 24 mg). Moxifloxacin was not investigational drug, it was used to assess the sensitivity of the study.	Baseline and Day 14
Secondary	The Baseline-adjusted, Placebo-corrected (??QTc) on QTc Method Not Selected as Primary Endpoint.	Change from baseline in Cardiac Repolarization (QTc Interval) at Day 5 (Tizanidine 8 mg). Moxifloxacin was not investigational drug, it was used to assess the sensitivity of the study.	Baseline and Day 5
Secondary	Assessing the Relationship Between Changes in the QTc Interval and Plasma Levels of Tizanidine Using Concentration-effect Modeling	The relationship will be quantified using a linear mixed effects model with an intercept. Data from Day 5 and Day 14 were fitted into regression model to obtain a slope of change. The measure type 'Number' followed by (90% Confidence Interval) shown in results is the slope from the linear fit.	Day 5, Day 14
Secondary	Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Single Doses of 8 and 24 mg Tizanidine After Reaching Steady State.		0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 12 & 24 hours post dose on Days 5 (8 mg) and 14 (24 mg)
Secondary	Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Single Doses of 8 and 24 mg Tizanidine After Reaching Steady State.		0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 12 & 24 hours post dose on Days 5 (8 mg) and 14 (24 mg)
Secondary	Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve During a Dosing Interval (AUCt) of Single Doses of 8 and 24 mg Tizanidine After Reaching Steady State.		0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 12 & 24 hours post dose on Days 5 (8 mg) and 14 (24 mg)
