AZCERT's Scientific Review Committee has found substantial evidence that Pacritinib (anticancer), Vernakalant (antiarrhythmic) and Fexinidazole (antiparasitic) are associated with the development of QT prolongation but lack convincing evidence of torsades de pointes (TdP).  Therefore, these drugs have been added to the Possible Risk of TdP category (PR) and the List of Drugs to Avoid in patients with Congenital Long QT Syndrome (DTA List).
