  • Cardiac Electrophysiology
  • The effect of silodosin on QT interval was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, active- (moxifloxacin) and placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in 189 healthy male subjects aged 18 to 45 years. Subjects received either silodosin 8 mg, silodosin 24 mg, or placebo once daily for five days, or a single dose of moxifloxacin 400 mg on Day 5 only. The 24 mg dose of silodosin was selected to achieve blood levels of silodosin that may be seen in a “worst-case” scenario exposure (i.e., in the setting of concomitant renal disease or use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors) [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. QT interval was measured during a 24-hour period following dosing on Day 5 (at silodosin steady state).
  • Silodosin was not associated with an increase in individual corrected (QTcI) QT interval at any time during steady state measurement, while moxifloxacin, the active control, was associated with a maximum 9.59 msec increase in QTcI.
  • There has been no signal of Torsade de Pointes in the post-marketing experience with silodosin outside the United States.
