  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Non-institutionalized subjects consisting of university students and members of the community at large.
  • All subjects selected for this study will be males 18 to 45 (inclusive) years of age. Weight of the subjects shall not be more than 15% from the normal for height and body frame (Metropolitan Life, 1993, Height, Weight, Body Chart).
  • Each subject shall be given a general physical examination within 21 days of initiation of the study. Such examination includes, but is not limited to, blood pressure, general observations, and history.
  • At the end of the study the subjects will have an exit evaluation consisting of interim history, global evaluation, and clinical laboratory measurements.
  • Adequate blood and urine samples should be obtained within 21 days before the beginning of the first period and at the end of the trial for clinical laboratory measurements.
  • Clinical laboratory measurements will include the following:
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Hematology: hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, platelets, and white blood cell count (with differential)
  • Clinical Chemistry: creatinine, BUN, glucose, SGOT, SGPT, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase
  • Urine Analysis: pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, occult blood, and cells
  • HIV Screen: (pre-study only)
  • Hepatitis-B, C Screen: (pre-study only)
  • Drugs of Abuse Screen: (pre-study and at each dosing period check-in)
  • Subjects will be selected if all above are normal. Electrocardiograms of all participating subjects will be recorded before initiation of the study and filed with each subject's case report forms.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with a history of chronic alcohol consumption, drug addiction, or serious gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, or cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, psychosis or glaucoma will not be eligible for this study.
  • Subjects whose clinical laboratory test values are greater than 20% outside the normal range may be retested. If the clinical values are outside the range on retesting the subject will not be eligible to participate in the study unless the clinical investigator deems the result to not be significant.
  • Subjects who have a history of allergic responses to the class of drug being tested should be excluded from the study.
  • Subjects who use tobacco in any form will not be eligible to participate in the study. Three months abstinence is required.
  • All subjects will have urine samples assayed for the presence of drugs of abuse as part of the clinical laboratory screening procedures and at each dosing period check-in. Subjects found to have urine concentrations of any of the tested drugs will not be allowed to participate.
  • Subjects should not have donated blood and/or plasma for at least thirty (30) days prior to the first dosing of the study.
  • Subjects who have taken any investigational drug within thirty (30) days prior to the first dosing of the study will not be allowed to participate.
  • Subjects who have been exposed to known hepatic enzyme inducing or inhibiting agents within (30) days prior to dosing will not be allowed to participate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax - Maximum Observed Concentration

    Measured: Blood samples collected over 24 hour period

  2. AUC0-inf - Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (extrapolated)

    Measured: Blood samples collected over 24 hour period

  3. AUC0-t - Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last non-zero concentration (per participant)

    Measured: Blood samples collected over 24 hour period

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Cmax - Comparison of the difference in plasma levels after dosing with test product under fasted and fed conditions

    Measured: Blood samples collected over 24 hour period

  2. AUC0-inf - Comparison of the difference in plasma levels after dosing with test product under fasted and fed conditions

    Measured: Blood samples collected over 24 hour period

  3. AUC0-t - Comparison of the difference in plasma levels after dosing with test product under fasted and fed conditions

    Measured: Blood samples collected over 24 hour period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing pravastatin and Pravachol® in people with Healthy, run by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA at 1 site in Canada.

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 13 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 9 Jan 2020. 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 Canada. 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?

Cmax - Maximum Observed Concentration (time frame: Blood samples collected over 24 hour period). 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 9 Jan 2020.
