Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy (healthy is defined as the absence of clinically-relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, 12-lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests).
  • Free of any medical or surgical conditions that might significantly interfere with gastrointestinal absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of Dimebon.
  • Demographically comparable to subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment.
  • Subjects with hepatic impairment: Screening medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests performed within 28 days before the first dose of study medication, abnormal findings that are related to the subject's underlying condition are acceptable.
  • Satisfy the criteria for Class A, B, or C of the modified Child-Pugh classification [Mild (Child-Pugh Scores 5-6 points), moderate (Child-Pugh Scores 7-9 points), and severe (Child-Pugh Scores >9 and <12 points)] within 14 days before the first dose of study medication.
  • A diagnosis of hepatic impairment due to cirrhosis, not secondary to other diseases, which is confirmed and documented by medical history, physical examination, liver biopsy or hepatic ultrasound, CT scan or MRI.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects presenting with any of the following will not be included in the trial:CYP2D6 PM genotype, as identified by screening genotyping.
  • A known sensitivity to Dimebon.
  • Exposure within the previous three months to a drug known to have a negative effect on skeletal muscle or reproductive organs.
  • History of febrile illness within 5 days prior to the first dose.
  • Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (e.g., gastrectomy, active peptic ulcer within last 3 months).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dimebon in people with Hepatic Failure, run by Pfizer at 2 sites 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 6 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 16 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Pharmacokinetics (AUC and Cmax) (time frame: 1 day). 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 16 Sep 2009.
