Trial summary

PF-00572778, a CRH antagonist, is expected to attenuate adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol responses to naloxone by blocking the effect of the CRH increases induced by naloxone at the postsynaptic receptors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Single Dose Study To Evaluate The Effects Of PF-00572778 And Alprazolam On A Naloxone Challenge In Healthy Adult Subjects

PF-00572778, a CRH antagonist, is expected to attenuate adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol responses to naloxone by blocking the effect of the CRH increases induced by naloxone at the postsynaptic receptors. Demonstration of a statistically significant attenuation of naloxone induced increases in cortisol and/or ACTH concentrations by PF-00572778 compared to placebo would thus constitute proof of mechanism for the compound. Therefore, this study is to evaluate pharmacodynamic effects of PF-00572778 following naloxone challenge in healthy subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the cortisol concentration time curve from 0 to 3 hours ( AUC(0-3) ) following naloxone challenge

    Measured: 1st day on treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 1st day on treatment

  2. Time to reach the maximum observed serum concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: 1st day on treatment

  3. Safety laboratory tests, vital signs, ECGs, adverse events monitoring, and physical<br>examinations

    Measured: 34 days (weekly)

  4. Peak concentrations for plasma cortisol and ACTH

    Measured: 1st day on treatment

  5. Area under the concentration-time curve from time = 0 to time of the last quantifiable serum PF-00572778 concentration (AUClast)

    Measured: 2nd day on treatment (Days 6-7)

  6. Area under the ACTH concentration curve from 0 to 3 hours ( AUC(0-3) ) following naloxone challenge

    Measured: 1st day on treatment

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted24 Dec 2007 (estimated)
  2. Study startSep 2007
  3. Study completionFeb 2008

Why it stopped: Date of termination was Feb. 7, 2008. Reasons of termination were due to elevation of liver function tests and long elimination half-life of the compound.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing alprazolam and PF-00572778 in people with Healthy, run by Pfizer at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2009. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Date of termination was Feb. 7, 2008. Reasons of termination were due to elevation of liver function tests and long elimination half-life of the compound.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Area under the cortisol concentration time curve from 0 to 3 hours ( AUC(0-3) ) following naloxone challenge (time frame: 1st day on treatment). 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 14 Sep 2009.
