About this study

Official title: [11C] Sertraline PET Imaging Study That Investigates Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Sertraline After Low Dose Administration

This study aimed to explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of low dose sertraline with [11C] sertraline positron emission tomography (PET) study.

Read the detailed description

Open, one arm, single sequence, 3-period, dose escalating study for healthy volunteers are investigated. Ten subjects may be enrolled.

Subjects receive baseline [11C] sertraline PET.

Period 1 Subjects receive 5 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.

Period 2 Subjects receive 25 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.

Period 3 Subjects receive 50 mg of sertraline every day. After 6 day of medication, pharmacokinetic and PET studies are performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sertraline in people with Healthy, 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 11 Jan 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?

Serotonin receptor occupancy (time frame: Day -1, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00969852, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jan 2011.
