According to the ICH S7B guideline, drug candidates are screened for hERG block prior to first-in-human testing to predict the likelihood of delayed repolarization associated with a rare, but life-threatening, ventricular tachyarrhythmia. The new ICH E14 Q&As guideline allows hERG results to be used in later clinical development for decision-making (Q&As 5.1 and 6.1). To pursue this path, the hERG assay should be conducted following the new ICH S7B Q&A 2.1 guideline, which calls for best practice considerations of the recording temperature, voltage protocol, stimulation frequency, recording/data quality, and concentration verification. This study investigated hERG block by cisapride, dofetilide, terfenadine, sotalol, and E-4031 – positive controls commonly used to demonstrate assay sensitivity – using the manual whole cell patch clamp method and an action potential-like voltage protocol presented at 0.2 Hz. Recordings were conducted at room and near physiological temperature. Drug concentrations were measured using samples collected during real patch clamp experiments and satellite experiments. Results showed temperature effects for E-4031, terfenadine, and sotalol, but not cisapride and dofetilide. Cisapride and terfenadine showed substantial concentration losses, largely due to nonspecific binding to the perfusion apparatus. Using concentrations measured from the real and satellite experiments to assess block potencies yielded comparable results, indicating that satellite sample collection may be viable for drugs with nonspecific binding concerns only. In summary, this study provides block potencies for 5 hERG positive controls, and serves as a case study for hERG assays conducted, and results illustrated in accordance with the new ICH E14/S7B Q&As.
