Effect of Maridebart Cafraglutide on the Heart's Electrical Activity

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Positive-controlled, Parallel Group Study With Nested Crossover Comparison to Assess the Effect of Maridebart Cafraglutide on QT/QTc Intervals in Participants Living With Overweight or Obesity

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of maridebart cafraglutide subcutaneously (SC) on the placebo-corrected, change from baseline in QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula in participants living with overweight or obesity.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Positive test for hepatitis B or C (exceptions apply for prior vaccination or resolved infection).
  • Use of drugs that affect absorption, metabolism, or elimination within 30 days of dosing.
  • Use of prescription drugs (other than hormone replacement or contraception) within 14 days of dosing.
  • Participation in another investigational drug trial within 30 days or 5 drug half-lives (whichever is longer).
  • Previous exposure to maridebart cafraglutide in this or another trial. Lifestyle
  • Positive drug screen or alcohol test at screening or check-in.
  • Receipt of blood products within 2 months before check-in.

Other illness

  • Medical Conditions
  • Any significant medical condition or abnormal test result that, in the opinion of the investigator, could pose a risk or interfere with trial participation.
  • Cancer within the last 5 years (except treated nonmelanoma skin cancers or in situ cervical/breast lesions).
  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2.
  • Uncontrolled thyroid disease (abnormal thyroid-stimulating hormone \[TSH\] outside 0.4-6.0 mIU/L).
  • Contraindications to moxifloxacin, including history of tendon disorders with quinolone use.
  • History of gastrointestinal surgery or disease that may affect absorption of oral drugs (other than uncomplicated appendectomy or hernia repair).
  • History of significant esophageal, stomach, or bowel disorders (eg, ulcers, bleeding, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastroparesis).
  • Lifetime history of suicide attempt or behavior.
  • Major depressive disorder within the past 2 years.
  • History of other serious psychiatric disorders (eg, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder).
  • History or current signs of heart disease (eg, heart attack, congenital defects, valve disease, angina, bypass or stent).
  • History of ischemic optic neuropathy (eye damage from poor blood flow).
  • Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Abnormal vital signs: average blood pressure \> 140/90 mmHg or \< 90/50 mmHg, or heart rate \> 110 or \< 40 bpm.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse within 1 year.

Lab values

  • History of diabetes (any type, except past gestational diabetes), or Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 6.5% at screening.
  • History of pancreatitis within the past year, or high blood tests suggesting pancreatic problems (lipase/amylase \> 2× normal, or fasting triglycerides \> 500 mg/dL).
  • Liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] or aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\]) more than 2× the upper limit of normal.
  • Kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\]) \< 70 mL/min/1.73 m\^2.
  • Abnormal ECG findings at screening or check-in, including:
    • QTcF \> 450 ms (males) or \> 470 ms (females).
    • QRS \> 120 ms, PR \> 220 ms, AV block (2nd or 3rd degree).
    • Findings that make QTc measurement unreliable.
    • Risk factors for dangerous arrhythmias (eg, heart failure, low potassium, long QT syndrome).
    • Clinically significant arrhythmias. Medications
  • Use of drugs known to prolong QT/QTc within 30 days of dosing.
  • Use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists/antagonists within 3 months of check-in.
    • Other Clinical Trial Experience
  • Blood donation within 3 months; plasma donation within 2 weeks; platelet donation within 6 weeks.

Other

  • Participants will not be able to take part if they meet any of the following:
  • Inability to swallow pills.
  • Current or recent suicidal thoughts (per Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale \[C-SSRS\]).
  • High depression score (patient health questionnaire-9 \[PHQ-9\] ≥ 15).
  • Diagnosis of sleep apnea. Diagnostic Tests

  • Use of non-prescription products (vitamins, supplements, herbal products) within 7 days of dosing.
  • Alcohol use \> 21 units/week (men) or \> 14 units/week (women).
