About this study

Official title: A Single-Center, Open-Label, Randomized, Crossover Design Study to Evaluate the Effect of Dietary Status on Pharmacokinetic Profile of Orally Administered First-Line Anti-TB Drugs in Subjects With Pulmonary Tuberculosis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of food on pharmacokinetic profile of multiple doses orally administered first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in subjects with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, two way crossover design, pharmacokinetics study.

  1. Treatment A: study agents (Rifater+EMB) will be given approximately 45 minutes prior to breakfast.
  2. Treatment B: study agents (Rifater+EMB) will be given approximately 45 minutes after the breakfast is finished.
Being tested
Rifater and EMB

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rifater and EMBDrug

    The main difference between Treatment A and Treatment B is the time of taking drugs, so the intervention of this study belongs to a behavioral intervention.

    The patients assigned randomly the Arm "Treatment A" on the fifth day will be switched to the Arm "Treatment B" on the sixth day. On the other hand, the patients assigned randomly the Arm "Treatment B" on the fifth day will be switched to the Arm "Treatment A" on the sixth day. The flow of intervention is drawn as below.

    Treatment A (5th day) ---> Treatment B (6th day) ; Treatment B (5th day) ---> Treatment A (6th day)

What is being measured

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

  1. The maximum concentration (Cmax)of first-line TB drugs

    Measured: Before and 1, 2, 4, 6 and 10 hours after dosing

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. N-acetyltransferase 1 and 2 (NAT 1 and 2), which effects the metabolism of anti-TB drugs, would be examined.

    Measured: Before taking the anti-TB drugs on the fifth day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rifater and EMB in people with Pulmonary Tuberculosis, run by Taipei Medical University WanFang Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 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 Taiwan. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ming-Chih MC Yu, M.D. (+886-2-29307930 ext. 52953, yutbc@ms10.hinet.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The maximum concentration (Cmax)of first-line TB drugs (time frame: Before and 1, 2, 4, 6 and 10 hours after dosing). 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 12 Apr 2011.
