About this study

Official title: Relative Bioavailability of Colcrys™ (Colchicine, USP) 0.6 mg Tablets in Healthy Young and Elderly Volunteers Under Fasted Conditions

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability of a single dose of Colcrys™ (colchicine) 0.6 mg when administered to a group of young , healthy subjects 18-30 years of age compared to a group of older, generally healthy subjects 60 years of age or older following an overnight fast.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability of a single dose of Colcrys™ (colchicine) 0.6 mg when administered to a group of young, healthy subjects 18-30 years of age compared to a group of older, generally healthy subjects 60 years of age or older following an overnight fast. On study Day 1 following an overnight fast, twenty healthy, non-smoking, non-obese male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 30 and twenty generally healthy, non-smoking, non-obese male and female subjects over 60 years of age will be administered one single dose of Colcrys™ (1 x 0.6 mg tablet). Fasting will continue for 4 hours after the dose. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 24 hours post-dose on a confined basis at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of Colcrys. Blood sampling will continue on a non-confined basis at 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours post-dose. Subjects will be monitored throughout participation in the study for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. Vitals signs (temperature, respiratory rate, pulse rate and blood pressure) will be measured in the sitting position prior to dosing. Seated blood pressure and pulse will be measured at approximately 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours after dosing and prior to release from the facility. 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 Colcrys™ (colchicine) reaches in the plasma.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours post-dose

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)] for Colcrys™

    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, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours post-dose

  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)] for Colcrys™

    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 plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Colcrys™ (colchicine) 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 1 inclusion and 10 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 28 Sep 2010. 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 14 Sep 2010). 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 plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours post-dose). 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 28 Sep 2010.
