A Research Study Looking at How Cagrilintide Works on the Heart Rhythm in Healthy Participants

Novo Nordisk A/S107 enrolled

Overview

The study tests if treatment with cagrilintide delays the transmission of electrical signals in the heart compared to treatment with placebo. To confirm the sensitivity of the methodology, the drug moxifloxacin is also compared to a placebo in 2 treatment arms. Cagrilintide is being developed for the treatment of obesity and weight management. Moxifloxacin is an approved antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial illnesses. The study lasts for up to 17 weeks for each participant.

Interventions

CagrilintideDRUG

Participants will receive 0.6 mg subcutaneous injections of cagrilintide once weekly and the dose will be then escalated once in 2 weeks for 8 weeks until the target maintenance dose of 4.5 mg is reached followed by a 38-day post-treatment period.

Cagrilintide PlaceboDRUG

Participants will receive cagrilintide placebo subcutaneously once weekly.

MoxifloxacinDRUG

Partcipants will receive a single dose of moxifloxacin orally.
