Trial summary

Biopsies of the outer thigh muscle and serum samples will be collected from untreated healthy subjects. These biological samples will be provided to the Diabetes Research Unit Translational Biomarker Laboratory for use in developing and validating human muscle malonyl CoA and serum malonate biomarker assays.

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy male and/or female subjects between the ages of 18 and 55 years, inclusive (Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, including blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, 12 lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests).

About this study

Official title: Muscle Biopsy Study In Healthy Subjects For Malonyl Coa Biomarker Assay Development

Biopsies of the outer thigh muscle and serum samples will be collected from untreated healthy subjects. These biological samples will be provided to the Diabetes Research Unit Translational Biomarker Laboratory for use in developing and validating human muscle malonyl CoA and serum malonate biomarker assays.

Read the detailed description

This non-drug method study was terminated on November 19, 2009. The decision to terminate was based on safety concerns (biopsy-related pain) observed in the first set of subjects. Four subjects were give a sample and did not tolerate it well. No data was collected to report.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Muscle biopsyProcedure or surgery

    Collection of muscle biopsies of the vastus lateralis will be performed by a consulting specialist. The first muscle biopsy (Day 1, 2 hour) will be obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle of the non-dominant leg. The second biopsy (Day 1, 4 hour) will be obtained from the same vastus lateralis muscle on the same leg approximately 10 centimeters from the first muscle biopsy site.

What is being measured

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

  1. Vastus lateralis skeletal muscle samples (>=100 mg but not to exceed 300 mg) will be collected from 12 healthy subjects for provision to the Diabetes Research Unit Translational Biomarker Laboratory.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Muscle biopsy in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Pfizer 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2010. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: See termination reason in detailed description.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Vastus lateralis skeletal muscle samples (>=100 mg but not to exceed 300 mg) will be collected from 12 healthy subjects for provision to the Diabetes Research Unit Translational Biomarker Laboratory. (time frame: 1 day). 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 24 Nov 2010.
