Heart safety check for new drug ESK-001 in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT07378579
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a new drug called ESK-001 affects the heart's rhythm in 52 healthy adults aged 18 to 55. Participants received ESK-001, a placebo (fake drug), and moxifloxacin (a drug known to affect heart rhythm) at different times. The main goal was to see if ESK-001 causes any changes in the heart's electrical activity, which could be a safety concern.
