Genetic Sources of Variability of the Adaptation of the Ventricular Repolarisation (Generepol)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris, November 2008
Sponsored by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Information provided by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00773201
  Purpose

The main objective is to research for genetic factors involved in the extreme modifications of the QT interval of the electrocardiogram in answer to a pharmacological stimulation (sotalol) and physiological stimulation in the apparently normal general population.

The phenotypic characterization, based on the ventricular repolarisation dynamics will be used aiming at term of the predictive genetic factors of the acquired long QT syndrome


Condition Intervention Phase
Healthy
Drug: Sotalol 80 mg
Phase I

Genetics Home Reference related topics: Andersen-Tawil syndrome Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome Romano-Ward syndrome
Drug Information available for: Sotalol Sotalol hydrochloride
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Pharmacodynamics Study
Official Title: Identification of the Genetic Sources of Variability of the Adaptation of the Ventricular Repolarisation at a Pharmacological and Physiological Stimulus in an Apparently Normal Population

Further study details as provided by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The elongation of the corrected interval QT duration 3 hours after the unique oral taking of an 80 mg dose of Sotalol. [ Time Frame: 3 hours after the taking of Sotalol ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Constitute a biological base and a phenotypic base of resources which will allow to define answer phenotypes to the implemented dynamic tests [ Time Frame: At the inclusion visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Look for associations between these phenotypes of electrocardiographically answer and mutations or polymorphisms. [ Time Frame: At the inclusion visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 1000

Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2012

Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental
Healthy subjects
Drug: Sotalol 80 mg
healthy subjects will receive an unique dose of Sotalol and will have an effort test on ergonomic bicycle, an auditive stimulation and a taking of DNA

Detailed Description:

Study of 1000 apparently healthy subjects which will receive an unique dose of Sotalol and will have an effort test on ergonomic bicycle, an auditive stimulation and a taking of DNA.
