Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of the Subjects With AEs.
3 months

Safety and tolerability assessed by AEs. Number of subjects with reporting AEs.

Difference Between Active and Placebo for Time Matched Baseline Adjusted Mean QTcF
36 hours

The primary endpoint is the difference between the active (HA44) and placebo for time matched baseline adjusted mean QTcF = \[ΔQTcF (Ha44 0.74% Gel) - ΔQTcF (placebo)\] = ΔΔQTcF. This was compared with the difference between Moxifloxacin and placebo for time matched baseline adjusted mean QTcF = \[ΔQTcF (Moxifloxacin) - ΔQTcF (placebo)\] = ΔΔQTcF
