About this study

Official title: [11C] Raclopride PET Imaging Study That Investigates Relation Between Occupancy of Dopamine D2 Receptors and Genotypes of DRD2 After Bupropion Administration

Bupropion has different effects on D2 dopamine receptors according to genotype.

Read the detailed description

Open, one arm, single sequence, 2-period, study stratified into 2 DRD2 genotype groups For subjects who volunteer to cease smoking, genotypes are investigated. Twelve subjects are enrolled (6 - DRD2 Taq1A1 allele, 6 - DRD2 Taq1A2 homozygotes). Subjects receive baseline raclopride PET (High Specific Activity, Low Specific Activity).

  • Period 1 Subjects receive 150 mg of bupropion SR every day. After 1 week of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.
  • Period 2 Subjects receive 150 mg of bupropion SR twice a day. After 1 week of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bupropion in people with Smoking, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 23 Feb 2011. 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 South Korea. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Dopamine receptor occupancy (time frame: 1 week). 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 23 Feb 2011.
