Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine if rifaximin, administered daily has an effect on the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzyme 3A4, by examining any changes in the pharmacokinetics of midazolam (a CYP3A4 substrate), when co-administered. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Single Arm, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Effect of Rifaximin 550 MG Tablets TID on the Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered Midazolam in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers

The primary objective of this study is to determine if rifaximin, administered daily has an effect on the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzyme 3A4, by examining any changes in the pharmacokinetics of midazolam (a CYP3A4 substrate), when co-administered.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-site, single-arm, open-label, drug-interaction study that examines the effect of rifaximin (RFX), 550 mg 3 times daily (TID; 1650 mg/day), on orally administered (PO) midazolam (MDZ) 2 mg (administered as a 2 mg dose in 1 mL of midazolam HCL Syrup; 2 mg/mL) when dosed for 7 and 14 consecutive days, respectively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rifaximin in people with Pharmacokinetic, run by Bausch Health Americas, Inc..

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 29 Nov 2019. 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?

Individual midazolam and rifaximin plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters will be summarized. (time frame: 21 to 38 days (including a 21 day screening period)). 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 29 Nov 2019.
