LamotrigineActive comparatorSubjects will receive 40 milligram (mg) of Atrovastatin from Days 1-7, from Days 8-56 subjects will receive Lamotrigine and Subjects will receive 300 mg/day of Lamotrigine and 40 mg/day of atorvastatin each morning on Days 57-77.
Receives: Drug: lamotrigine; Drug: atorvastatin
phenytoinActive comparatorSubjects will receive 40 mg of Atrovastatin from Days 1-7, from Days 8-28, subjects will receive 4mg/kg/day of phenytoin in the morning and will continue to take 40 mg/day of atorvastatin each morning. Subjects will receive taper dose of phenytoin from Days 29-30.

What is being measured

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

  1. Steady-state Cmax and AUC (0-t) of atorvastatin

    Steady-state Cmax and AUC (0-t) of atorvastatin when dosed to steady-state.

    Measured: Pre-dose,0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hrs post dose.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the effect of lamotrigine or phenytoin on the pharmacokinetics of 2-OH atorvastatin and 4-OH atorvastatin

    Steady state Tmax, Cmax and AUC of 2-OH atorvastatin and 4-OH atorvastatin in the presence and absence of LTG XR or phenytoin.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hrs post dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing lamotrigine, atorvastatin and phenytoin in people with Epilepsy, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 4 Aug 2017. 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. 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?

Steady-state Cmax and AUC (0-t) of atorvastatin (time frame: Pre-dose,0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hrs post dose.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00627575, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Aug 2017.
