About this study
Official title: Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Center, 2 Treatment, 3-Way Crossover Study to Investigate the Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics and Safety of a Single Oral Repeated Dose of 500 Mg Nicotinic Acid as Tablets in Healthy Subjects
The study will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-center, 2 treatment, 3--way crossover. Subjects will be randomly allocated to a treatment sequence - AAB, ABA or BAA. The two treatments will be:
- Treatment A: 500 mg nicotinic acid (Niacor(R))
- Treatment B: Niacor(R) Placebo
Each trial period will last one day, there will be a wash-out period of at least 2 days between each trial period. Five to seven days after study day 1 of trial period 3 there will be a final safety examination.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing nicotinic acid in people with Healthy, run by Heidelberg University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Brigitte Tubach, R:N: (brigitte.tubach@med.uni-heidelberg.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2006.
