Quantifying Risk of Delayed QT Prolongation of Ipatasertib in Preclinical and Clinical Studies in Cancer Patients
QTc prolongation has been associated with torsades de pointes (TdP) and also with other cardiac diseases. We investigated the effect of ipatasertib, a selective serine/threonine kinase (AKT, protein kinase B) inhibitor, on preclinical models of QTc prolongation as well as across two clinical studies. Preclinical in vitro studies suggested that ipatasertib and its metabolite, M1,…
