Abstract
The drug-induced Torsade de Pointes (TdP) tachycardia is a known regulatory problem which led to the concept of the so-called thorough QT (TQT) studies now required for practically every new pharmaceutical compound. This review summarizes the concept of the TQT studies, their statistical evaluation, and related pharmacodynamic /pharmacokinetic modeling. The review also lists suggestions of how to make TQT studies more efficient and how to improve the interpretation of clinical data obtained during drug development to identify drugs prone to TdP induction more effectively.
