About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Single Center, Open-label, One-sequence Cross-over Study to Investigate the Effect of a Potent Inducer Rifampicin on the Pharmacokinetics of Deferasirox in Healthy Volunteers

The study will consist of two open-label periods, a Treatment Period I (deferasirox) and a Treatment Period II (rifampicin+deferasirox). At least 18 subjects are expected to complete both treatment periods as per protocol. For all subjects, in addition to the two treatment periods, there will be a 21 day screening period, one baseline evaluation (the day preceding deferasirox administration in Treatment Period I), and an end-of-study evaluation (EOS). Study subjects will be required to remain in the unit from Day -1 until Day 17. EOS evaluation (final safety assessment) will be performed 7-10 days after the last dose of rifampicin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Deferasirox and Rifampicin in people with Healthy, run by Novartis.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 19 Nov 2009. 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?

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?

Evaluate the effect of rifampicin on pharmacokinetics after single dose administration of deferasirox. 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 19 Nov 2009.
