BACKGROUND: Use of the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) to predict torsades de pointes (TdP) risk from culprit drugs is neither sensitive nor specific. The ratio of the half-maximum inhibitory concentration of the hERG channel (hERG IC50) to the peak serum concentration of unbound drug (C(max) ) is used during drug development to screen out chemical entities likely to cause TdP. PURPOSE: To validate the use of the hERG IC50:C(max) ratio to predict TdP risk from a culprit drug by its correlation with TdP incidence. DATA SOURCES: Medline (between 1966 and March 2017) was accessed for hERG IC50 and C(max) values from the antihistamine, fluoroquinolone, and antipsychotic classes to identify cases of drug-induced TdP. Exposure to a culprit drug was estimated from annual revenues reported by the manufacturer. STUDY SELECTION: Inclusion criteria for TdP cases were provision of an ECG tracing that demonstrated QTc prolongation with TdP and normal serum values of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Cases reported in patients with a prior rhythm disturbance and those involving a drug interaction were excluded. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: The Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist was used for epidemiological data extraction by two authors. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURE: Negligible risk drugs were defined by an hERG IC50:C(max) ratio that correlated with less than a 5% chance of one TdP event for every 100 million exposures (relative risk [RR] 1.0). RESULTS: The hERG IC50:C(max) ratio correlated with TdP risk (0.312; 95% confidence interval 0.205-0.476, p<0.0001), a ratio of 80 (RR 1.0). The RR from olanzapine is on par with loratadine; ziprasidone is comparable with ciprofloxacin. Drugs with an RR greater than 50 include astemizole, risperidone, haloperidol, and thioridazine. CONCLUSIONS: The hERG IC50:C(max) ratio was correlated with TdP incidence for culprit drugs. This validation provides support for the potential use of the hERG IC50:C(max) ratio for clinical decision making in instances of drug selection where TdP risk is a concern.
