About this study

Official title: A One-Directional, Open-Label Drug Interaction Study to Investigate the Effects of Multiple-Dose Ciprofloxacin HCl on the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Quinine in Healthy Volunteers

Ciprofloxacin is moderate inhibitor of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2), one of the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of quinine. This study will evaluate the effect of ciprofloxacin-related inhibition of CYP1A2 on the pharmacokinetics of quinine sulfate.

Read the detailed description

Ciprofloxacin is moderate inhibitor of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2), one of the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of quinine. This study will evaluate the effect of ciprofloxacin-related inhibition of CYP1A2 on the pharmacokinetics of quinine sulfate. In the morning on study Day 1 after a fast of at least 10 hours, twenty-four healthy, non-smoking, non-obese, non-pregnant adult volunteers between the ages of 18 and 45 will be given one oral dose of quinine sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules). Fasting will continue for 4 hours after the dose. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 36 hours post-dose at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of quinine sulfate. A 7-day washout period will be completed after the first dose of quinine sulfate on Day 1. Beginning at 07:45 am on Day 8 and continuing through Day 10, all subjects will return to the clinic for non-confined dosing of ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet) every 12 hours. Administered ciprofloxacin doses on these days will not be in a fasted state. At 07:45 am on Day 11 after a fast of at least 10 hours, all study participants will receive a co-administered single oral dose of quinine sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) and ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet). A final dose of ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet) will be administered 12 hours later. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 36 hours post-dose at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of quinine sulfate. Fasting will continue for 4 hours following the co-administered dose of quinine sulfate and ciprofloxacin. A further goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this regimen in healthy volunteers. Subjects will be monitored throughout participation in the study for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. Seated blood pressure and pulse will be measured pre-dose and at 1, 2 and 3 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 11. An electrocardiogram (ECG) will be done pre-dose and at 1, 2 and 4 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 11. All adverse events whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported, or observed by clinic staff will be evaluated by the Investigator and reported in the subject's case report form.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration(Cmax)

    The maximum or peak concentration that the drug reaches in the plasma.

    Measured: Serial pharmacokinetic blood samples for quinine sulfate collected on Days 1 and 11 before dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours post-dose.

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)]

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve beginning from the first dose (time 0) to the last measurable concentration (time t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.

    Measured: Serial pharmacokinetic blood samples for quinine sulfate collected on Days 1 and 11 before dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours post-dose.

  3. Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)].

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞)was calculated as the sum of the AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant.

    Measured: Serial pharmacokinetic blood samples for quinine sulfate collected on Days 1 and 11 before dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours post-dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Quinine Sulfate Capsules 324 mg and Ciprofloxacin 500 mg in people with Healthy, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 7 Aug 2012. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Oct 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Plasma Concentration(Cmax) (time frame: Serial pharmacokinetic blood samples for quinine sulfate collected on Days 1 and 11 before dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours post-dose.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Aug 2012.
