About this study

Official title: A Four Arm, Single-Dose, Food Effect Evaluation With 105 mg Fenofibric Acid Tablets Administered in a Fasted State and Three Different Fed Conditions, Low-Fat/Low Calorie Meal, Standard Meal, and High-Fat/High Calorie Meal

The primary objective of this study is to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetic profile of fenofibric acid (105 mg tablets) and the effect of food of various calorie/fat compositions on the rate and extent of absorption. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of this dose and regimen of fenofibric acid will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the single-dose pharmacokinetic profile of fenofibric acid (105 mg tablets) and the effect of food of various calorie/fat compositions on the rate and extent of absorption. Forty healthy, non-smoking, non-obese, non-pregnant adult volunteers between the ages of 18 and 45 years old will receive a single oral dose of fenofibric acid in one of four randomly assigned sequences of meal conditions each separated by a 7 day washout period. On study Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 each subject will receive a single oral dose (1 x 105 mg tablet) of fenofibric acid following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours or with a low-fat meal, standard meal, or high-fat/high-calorie meal according to their randomization sequence. Subjects will fast for at least 4.25 hours after dosing in each of the four dosing conditions. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 72 hours post-dose at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of fenofibric acid. A further goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this regimen in healthy volunteers. Seated blood pressure and heart rate will be measured prior to dosing and at 2 hours post-dose. Subjects will be monitored throughout the confinement portion of the study for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. All adverse events whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported, or observed by clinic staff will be evaluated by the Investigator and reported in the subject's case report form.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    The maximum or peak concentration that the drug reaches in the plasma.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn immediately prior to dosing and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after dose administration

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)]

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve, from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn immediately prior to dosing and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after dose administration

  3. The Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity AUC(0-∞)

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞) was calculated as the sum of AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours after drug administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fenofibric Acid 105 mg Tablet in people with Healthy, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. at 1 site 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 8 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 20 Oct 2009. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Oct 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: serial pharmacokinetic blood samples drawn immediately prior to dosing and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after dose administration). 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 20 Oct 2009.
