Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Be a healthy male or female 18 to 45 years of age. Women were required to be postmenopausal (more than 12 months since last period); surgically sterile (hysterectomy or tubal ligation at least 6 months prior to enrollment); using an intrauterine device; or double barrier (i.e. diaphragm or spermicide plus male condom) non-hormonal contraceptive therapy for the duration of the trial and were required to have a negative pregnancy test at screening and upon each check-in to the study facility.
- Have a BMI within the range of 18-30 kg/m2.
- Be able to communicate effectively with the study personnel.
- Have no significant disease or abnormal laboratory values as determined by medical history, physical examination or laboratory evaluations, conducted at the screening visit and on each admission to the clinic.
- Have a normal 12-lead electrocardiogram, without any clinically significant abnormalities of rate, rhythm or conduction.
- Be nonsmokers defined as not having smoked in the past 6 months.
- Be adequately informed of the nature and risks of the study and give written informed consent prior to study entry.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to moxifloxacin, eslicarbazepine acetate or related compounds such as carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or licarbazepine.
- Women who were pregnant or breast feeding.
- Any disease or condition (medical or surgical) which, in the opinion of the investigator, might compromise the hematologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, hepatic, or central nervous system; or other conditions that may interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of study drug, or placed the subject at increased risk.
- A sustained supine systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg or <100mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure > 95 mmHg at screening or baseline.
- A resting ECG heart rate of <50 bpm or >100 bpm.
