About this study

Official title: A Single-dose, Open-label, Randomized, 2-way Crossover Pivotal Bioequivalence Study of 12 mg Paliperidone Extended Release Tablets Manufactured at Gurabo and Vacaville Under Fasted Condition in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to establish bioequivalence of paliperidone ER tablets manufactured at Gurabo as compared to paliperidone ER tablets manufactured at Vacaville, administered as a single dose of 12 mg under fasted conditions to healthy male volunteers, and to assess the safety and tolerability of both formulations.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open-label, 2-way crossover study in healthy male adults.The study consists of a screening phase and an open label treatment phase during which each patient will receive the 2 treatments of the study drug separated by a washout period of 7 to 14 days. Treatment A will consist of a single oral dose of 12-mg paliperidone ER, tablets manufactured at Gurabo, administered under fasted condition. Treatment B will consist of a single oral dose of 12-mg paliperidone ER, tablets manufactured at Vacaville, administered under fasted condition. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected at pre-dose and for 96 hours post-dose for each period. As a change in manufacturing site will take place, bioequivalence between 12 mg tablets (highest dose strength) from the 2 production sites (Gurabo [Puerto Rico, USA] and Vacaville [California, USA]) needs to be demonstrated. This pivotal bioequivalence study is designed to examine the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of paliperidone ER manufactured at Gurabo in comparison with paliperidone ER manufactured at Vacaville

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Paliperidone ER in people with Schizophrenia, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 18 May 2011. 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?

To establish bioequivalence of paliperidone ER tablets manufactured at Gurabo compared with paliperidone ER tablets manufactured at Vacaville, administered as a single oral dose of 12 mg under fasted conditions. 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 18 May 2011.
