Brief Summary:
Carbetocin is an oxytocin receptor agonist that selectively binds to receptors in the smooth muscle of the uterus, stimulates rhythmic contractions of the uterus, increases the frequency of existing contractions, and raises the tone of the uterine musculature. Carbetocin is approved in >100 countries for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony in women following cesarean or vaginal delivery. Per regulatory requirements, the current trial will evaluate the effects of high clinical exposure of carbetocin on the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) as measured by ECG in healthy men and women.

  2. Change from baseline of HR (∆HR). [ Time Frame: Up to 240 minutes after Start of Infusion ]
    Part A

  3. Placebo-corrected change from baseline in QT interval (∆∆QTc) using the most appropriate HR correction method (i.e., ∆∆QTcF if Fridericia's method is used). [ Time Frame: Up to 24 hours after Start of Infusion ]

    Part A. The parameters which are measured are Systolic blood pressure and Diastolic blood pressure.

    Each vital sign parameter value is classified as either Low, Normal or High. Summary tables will be prepared by treatment displaying the number and percentage of subjects with normal pre-administration values who had at least one markedly abnormal post-administration values.


  3. Vital signs; Pulse rate [ Time Frame: Up to follow-up visit (7 to 10 days after the last dose) ]
    Part A. The parameter which is measured is Pulse rate. The vital sign parameter value is classified as either Low, Normal or High.

  4. Vital signs; Body temperature [ Time Frame: Up to follow-up visit (7 to 10 days after the last dose) ]
    Part A. The parameter which is measured is Body temperature. The vital sign parameter value is classified as either Low, Normal or High. Summary tables will be prepared by treatment displaying the number and percentage of subjects with normal pre-administration values who had at least one markedly abnormal post-administration values.

  5. Vital signs; Respiratory rate [ Time Frame: Up to follow-up visit (7 to 10 days after the last dose) ]
    Part A. The parameter which is measured is Respiratory rate. The vital sign parameter value is classified as either Low, Normal or High. Summary tables will be prepared by treatment displaying the number and percentage of subjects with normal pre-administration values who had at least one markedly abnormal post-administration values.

  6. 12-lead safety ECGs [ Time Frame: Up to follow-up visit (7 to 10 days after the last dose) ]

    Part A. The parameters which are measured are QT, QTc, QTcF, QRS, PR, RR and HR. Subjects' maximum change from baseline and subject's maximum post-baseline values in ECG parameters will be categorized and the number and percentage of subjects in each group will be summarized.

    The results will be interpreted as "normal", "abnormal, not clinically significant" or "abnormal clinically significant", and the interpretation will be summarized for each treatment and scheduled time point using frequency counts and percentages.
