About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label Comparative Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Safety,and Tolerability of Oral Quinine Sulfate in Healthy Volunteers and Adults With Mild and Moderate Renal Impairment

The effects of mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30 to 50 ml/min or >50 to 80 ml/min, respectively) on the pharmacokinetic profile of quinine and its active metabolite, 3'-hydroxyquinine, will be investigated. Safety and tolerability in healthy subjects versus those with mild to moderate renal impairment will be compared, as well.

Read the detailed description

Since many of the adverse events associated with quinine are dose-related, it is important to consider how varying degrees of renal dysfunction alter quinine pharmacokinetics possibly warranting dosage adjustment in these patients. This study will compare the pharmacokinetics of quinine in patients with normal, mild or moderate renal impairment. Eighteen non-smoking males and female volunteers between 18-65 years of age weighing at least 60 kg with BMI between 18- 40 kg/m2 will be divided into 3 groups of 6 subjects each based on renal function as defined (6 normal, 6 mild impairment, 6 moderate impairment). Subjects will be confined to the study unit during the entire 5 day study period beginning on the evening of Day -3. To confirm renal function classification, creatinine clearance will be measured via 24-hour urine collection from 7am Day -2 until 7am Day -1. On day 1, after a fast of at least 8 hours, each patient will receive a single 648 mg dose of quinine sulfate. Blood and urine samples will be collected at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of quinine and its active metabolite, 3'-hydroxyquinine) in the three study groups. Subjects will be monitored regarding adverse effects throughout study participation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing quinine sulfate in people with Healthy and Renal Impairment, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. 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 3 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 1 Aug 2012. 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 was stopped early (reason given: poor enrollment). 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?

Alterations pharmacokinetic profile of quinine and 3'-hydroxyquinine in plasma (total and free) and urine following a single 648mg dose of quinine sulfate in healthy subjects with normal renal function versus those with mild and moderate renal impairment (time frame: 72 hours). 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 1 Aug 2012.
