About this study

Official title: Open-Label, Randomized, Single-Dose, 3-Arm, Crossover Pharmacokinetic and Bioequivalence Study of One 35 mg Fenofibric Acid Tablet and Three 35 mg Fenofibric Acid Tablets Versus One 105 mg Fenofibric Acid Tablet Under Fasting Conditions

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic linearity of a single 35 mg fenofibric acid dose and demonstrate the bioequivalence of three 35 mg fenofibric acid tablets (105 mg total single dose) to a single 105 mg fenofibric acid tablet in healthy adult volunteers when each dose is administered under fasted conditions. Safety and tolerability of these regimens will also be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic linearity of a single 35 mg fenofibric acid dose and demonstrate the bioequivalence of three 35 mg fenofibric acid tablets (105 mg total single dose) to a single 105 mg fenofibric acid tablet in healthy adult volunteers when each dose is administered under fasted conditions. Fifty-four healthy, non-smoking, non-obese, 18-45 year old, male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned in a crossover fashion to receive each of three fenofibric acid dosing regimens in sequence with a 7 day washout period between dosing periods. On the morning of the first day of each dosing period, after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, subjects will receive single doses of fenofibric acid (1 x 35 mg tablet), fenofibric acid (3 x 35 mg tablets - 105 mg total dose), or fenofibric acid (1 x 105 mg tablet). Fasting will continue for 4 hours after dose administration. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants prior to dosing and for 72 hours post-dose, at times sufficient to adequately define fenofibric acid pharmacokinetics. Subjects will be monitored throughout their participation for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. Seated blood pressure and pulse will be measured prior to each dose and approximately 2 hours after each dose to coincide with peak plasma concentrations. All adverse experiences, whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported, or observed by clinic staff, will be documented 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. For the dosing group, Fenofibric Acid 35 mg (35 mg Dose-adjusted to 105 mg), the Cmax values were dose-adjusted in order to assess pharmacokinetic linearity.

    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. For the dosing group, Fenofibric Acid 35 mg (35 mg Dose-adjusted to 105 mg), the [AUC(0-t)] values were dose-adjusted in order to assess pharmacokinetic linearity.

    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. For the dosing group, Fenofibric Acid 35 mg (35 mg Dose-adjusted to 105 mg), the AUC(0-∞) values were dose-adjusted in order to assess pharmacokinetic linearity.

    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 35 mg Tablet and Fenofibric Acid 105 mg Tablet in people with Healthy, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc..

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 8 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 5 Nov 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 8 Jun 2012.
