About this study

Official title: Double Blind, Double-dummy, Randomised, Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of Single Doses of Drug A (Lamotrigine) and Drug B (Vofopitant) Alone and in Combination on Resting Motor Threshold in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of drug A on its own and when it is given in combination with drug B on markers of brain activity. The study will

  1. Assess the effects of drug A and drug B on muscle movement after brain stimulation;
  2. Examine how the body handles (absorbs, distributes, breaks down and gets rid of) drug A and drug B when given in combination;
  3. Examine the safety of drug A and drug B when given together.
Being tested
Placebo, Vofopitant, Lamotrigine
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vofopitant and Lamotrigine in people with Bipolar Disorder, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2017. 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 Germany. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment; trial unlikely to reach completion). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Effect of the study treatments on Resting Motor Thresholds (rMT) (time frame: Within 24 hours). 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 21 Jul 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
