A Thorough QTC Study to Assess the Effect of Cotadutide on Cardiac Repolarization in Healthy Participants

A Thorough QTc Evaluation of the Effect of Cotadutide on Cardiac Repolarization in Healthy Participants: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 3-arm Parallel Study With a Nested Crossover Design for Positive Control With Moxifloxacin Administration

This study will investigate the effect of multiple doses of cotadutide on the cardiac activity (QTc interval) of healthy participants.

This study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 3-arm parallel study with a nested crossover design for positive control with moxifloxacin administration in healthy male and female participants.

Participants will be randomized to receive treatment with either cotadutide during the 13-week treatment period (Arm 1) or cotadutide-placebo (Arm 2).

The cotadutide-placebo treatment arm will be further divided into 2 subgroups (Arms 2A and 2B), in a nested crossover design for only the placebo-treated participants.

Participants will be randomized in a 2:1:1 ratio to Arm 1, Arm 2A, and Arm 2B.

Approximately 80 participants will be randomized to have 64 evaluable participants in the study.

Each participant will be involved in the study for approximately 22 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy male and female participants of age 18 to 55 years.
