Alfuzosin: alpha-1 blocker for benign prostatic hyperplasia

developed by

Sanofi-Synthelabo Research

2

FocusFocus• Studies employing a sensitive assay were

adequate to assess a cardiac repolarization effect.

• They detected a small alfuzosin QT increase of 2-3 msec at 4 times therapeutic dose.

• This small increase is not clinically significant as confirmed by substantial clinical experience.

3

Alfuzosin QT Increase is Not Alfuzosin QT Increase is Not Clinically SignificantClinically Significant

• This increase is the maximum likely to be produced.

• It is well below increase of an approved control known to produce a modest increase.

• Known problem drugs produce much higher increases.

• Surveillance of extensive market use produced no risk signal.

ConclusionConclusion• QT interval evaluation after single dose

is appropriate: – Steady state is reached on Day 1– Exposure after repeated administration

is similar to single dose– Metabolites are formed rapidly and

have a similar half-life as alfuzosin (formation rate limited)

• The 40 mg dose in the QT interval studies provides exposure exceeding that achieved in the clinical situation

• More than 80% power to detect a moxifloxacin QTcB as small as 5 msec (to confirm assay sensitivity)

• Needs N=45 subjects

• At therapeutic dose of 10 mg, alfuzosin did not produce significant changes in QT1000.

• At 4 times the therapeutic dose, alfuzosin produced a mean QT1000 change of 2.9 msec, less than half what is observed with moxifloxacin administered at therapeutic dose.

• Whatever the dose, no clinically relevant QT/QTc changes were observed.
