What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Vital Signs Abnormalities of Potential Clinical Concern

    Criteria for vital signs abnormalities of potential concern included: supine/standing systolic blood pressure (BP) (less than [<] 90 millimeter of mercury [mmHg], maximum [max] decrease and increase of greater than or equal to [>=] 30 mmHg from baseline); diastolic BP (<50 mmHg, maximum decrease and increase of >=20 mmHg from baseline); supine pulse rate <40 beats per minute [bpm] or greater than [>]120 bpm); standing pulse rate <40 bpm or >140 bpm. Baseline is defined as the last pre-dose (PF-04447943) recording at Day 0.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 10

  2. Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities of Potential Clinical Concern

    Criteria for ECG abnormalities of potential clinical concern included: PR interval (>=300 milliseconds [msec], >= 25 percent [%] increase when baseline >200 msec or increase >=50% when baseline less than or equal to [<=] 200 msec); QRS interval (>=200 msec, >= 25% increase when baseline >100 msec or increase >=50% when baseline <=100 msec); QT corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) (>=500 msec, maximum increase between >=30 to <60 msec and >=60 msec). Baseline is defined as the last pre-dose (PF-04447943) recording at Day 0.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 10

  3. Number of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities

    Criteria for laboratory tests abnormalities included: hemoglobin, hematocrit (<0.8*lower limit of normal [LLN]); red blood cell count (<0.8*LLN); platelets (<0.5*LLN or >1.75* upper limit of normal [ULN]); leucocytes (<0.6*LLN or >1.5*ULN); lymphocytes, total neutrophils (<0.8*LLN or >1.2*ULN); basophils, eosinophils, monocytes (>1.2*ULN); total bilirubin (>1.5* ULN); aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase (>3*ULN); creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (>1.3*ULN); glucose (<0.6*LLN or >1.5*ULN); uric acid (>1.2*ULN); sodium (<0.95*LLN or 1.05*ULN); potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate (<0.9*LLN or 1.1*ULN); albumin, total protein (<0.8*LLN or 1.2*ULN); urine analysis. Total number of participants with any laboratory abnormalities was reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 10

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to Day 10 after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Any abnormalities related to physical and neurological findings, laboratory tests, vital signs and ECG were reported as adverse events. AEs included SAEs as well as non-serious AEs which occurred during the trial.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PF-04447943 in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by Pfizer at 3 sites 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 19 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 19 Nov 2020). 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?

Number of Participants With Vital Signs Abnormalities of Potential Clinical Concern (time frame: Baseline up to Day 10). The study lists 4 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 19 Nov 2020.
