Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Non-elderly healthy volunteers (Group I):
  • Male or female subjects aged between 18 and 65 years
  • body weight, clinical history, physical examination, vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart beat rate and body temperature), ECG and laboratory tests (hemogram and biochemistry) within normal range
  • without evidence of significant organic or psychiatric illness
  • who have accepted to participate in the study and have signed the written informed consent.
  • Patients with renal insufficiency (Groups II, III and IV):
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Male or female subjects aged between 18 and 65 years, who will be assigned to one of the following groups according to renal function:
  • Group II: mild renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance > 50 to 80 ml/min);
  • Group III: Moderate renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance: 30 to 50 ml/min);
  • Group IV: Severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min). The degree of renal insufficiency will be calculated on the basis of determination of creatinine clearance measuring total urinary output over a 24-h period and serum creatinine levels. Urine samples will be collected no more than 2 weeks before the first experimental period.
  • Patients with renal insufficiency must have a stable renal function during the 3 months before their inclusion in the study.
  • They must have a body weight between 45 and 110 Kg.
  • They have to accept to participate in the study and have signed the written informed consent.
  • Elderly healthy volunteers (Group V):
  • Male or female subjects aged > 65 years old who fulfill with the remaining inclusion criteria specified for non-elderly healthy volunteers.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial to Assess Bemiparin Pharmacokinetics at Therapeutic (115 IU/kg) and Prophylactic Doses (3500 IU) Administered Subcutaneously in Single or Multiple Doses in Renal Insufficiency and in the Elderly

Open pharmacokinetic study with 5 parallel groups and two treatment phases (bemiparin 3,500 IU multiple dose and bemiparin 115 IU/kg single dose). The bemiparin pharmacokinetic profile will be assessed by measuring its effects on the coagulation cascade. Plasma anti-Xa activity (measured using chromogenic amidolytic assay) in IU per milliliter will be the primary endpoint to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of bemiparin.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the pharmacokinetics of bemiparin administered subcutaneously once daily for 4 days at prophylactic doses (3500 IU) and at a single therapeutic dose (115 IU/kg), in renal insufficiency and in the elderly.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of bemiparin in all volunteers and patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bemiparin in people with Renal Insufficiency, run by Rovi Pharmaceuticals Laboratories at 1 site in Spain.

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 15 inclusion and 35 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the pharmacokinetics of bemiparin administered subcutaneously once daily for 4 days at prophylactic doses (3500 IU) and at a single therapeutic dose (115 IU/kg), in renal insufficiency and in the elderly.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 18 Mar 2011.
