Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The Comparison of BTDS to Placebo Transdermal System (TDS): the Average Difference From Baseline Using QT Corrected From Within-subject Data (QTci) on Day 13 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    Observed time from start of the QRS complex to end of the T wave (QT), and the time between the 2 R waves (RR) data for each of 4 electrocardiographs (ECGs) over an approximate 10-minute interval at each nominal time point. The average QT and QTc data over the 2 pretreatment days were used as the baseline.

    Observed time from start of the QRS complex to end of the T wave (QT); interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) msec; interval corrected from within-subject data (QTci) msec.


  • The Comparison of Moxifloxacin to Placebo Transdermal System (TDS): the Average Difference From Baseline Using QT Interval Corrected From Within-subject Data (QTci) on Day 13 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    Observed time from start of the QRS complex to end of the T wave (QT), and the time between the 2 R waves (RR) data for each of 4 electrocardiographs (ECGs) over an approximate 10-minute interval at each nominal time point.

    Observed time from start of the QRS complex to end of the T wave (QT); interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) msec; interval corrected from within-subject data (QTci) msec.



Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The Average Differences Between BTDS vs Placebo From Baseline by Interval Corrected From Within-subject Data (QTci) on Day 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    QT and RR data were determined for each of 4 ECGs over an approximate 10-minute interval at each nominal time point. The average QT and QTc data from the replicate ECGs at each nominal time point were calculated. The average QT and QTc data over the 2 pretreatment days were used as the baseline QT and QTc values.

    QT and RR data were determined for each of 4 ECGs over an approximate 10-minute interval at each nominal time point.
