About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Two-Way Crossover Study to Investigate the Bioavailability of a Single Oral Dose of 37.5 mg Carbidopa, 150 mg Levodopa and 200 mg Entacapone Compared to a Single Oral Combined Dose of Both 37.5 mg Carbidopa and 150 mg Levodopa and 200 mg Entacapone in Healthy Volunteers Under Fasting Conditions

The purpose of this study is assess the safety and bioequivalence of a single oral dose of carbidopa+levodopa+entacapone combination versus a single oral dose of carbidopa+levodopa combination plus a single oral dose of entacapone under fasting conditions in healthy volunteers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ELC200 (carbidopa+levodopa+entacapone) in people with Healthy, run by Novartis at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 22 Jun 2007. 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 Germany. 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?

Bioequivalence between 37.5 mg carbidopa/150 mg levodopa/200 mg entacapone single dose combination and 37.5 mg carbidopa/150 mg levodopa single dose combination plus 200 mg entacapone single dose when administered under fasting conditions. 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 22 Jun 2007.
