Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for this trial:
  • Healthy females, aged between 18 and 45 years extremes included, who have regular menstrual cycle of 28 ± 3 days for the last 6 months.
  • Adequate use of non-hormonal birth control (double-barrier method (e.g. condom and spermicide, cervical cap and spermicide) or sterilization or vasectomy of the partner or certified abstinence).
  • Subjects are not smoking for at least 6 months prior to selection.
  • A body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 27 kg/m2, extremes included.
  • The subject is in good health based on a pre-trial physical and gynaecological examination, medical history, anamnesis, electrocardiogram (ECG) and the results of biochemistry, coagulation or haematology tests or a urinalysis carried out within 4 weeks before the start of the trial. If the results of the biochemistry, coagulation or haematology tests or the urinalysis are not within the laboratory's reference ranges the subject will be included only on condition that the investigator judges that the deviations are not clinically significant.
  • Subjects voluntarily signed written Informed Consent Form (ICF) in accordance with the regional laws or regulations, prior to the first trial related activity, indicating an understanding of the purpose of this trial.
  • Subjects are willing to adhere to the treatment regimen and trial procedures described in this protocol.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the trial:
  • History, evidence or suspicion of alcohol or drug abuse (screening and Day -1).
  • History or evidence of cardiac arrhythmias, bronchospastic or cardiovascular disease (e.g. ischemic heart disease or cerebrovascular accident), hepatic or gastrointestinal, renal or endocrine (diabetes mellitus, thyrotoxicosis), or neurological (Parkinsonism) or psychiatric, gynaecological or dermatological disease, drug allergy.
  • Clinical significant abnormal ECG-intervals of morphology of the ECG, QT >500 ms or QTcB>470 ms.
  • Use of concomitant medication or oral contraceptives within 6 weeks prior to screening, or any hormonal depot-device within 6 months prior to screening . All medication, with the exception of paracetamol should be stopped.
  • Participation in an investigational drug trial in 30 days prior to the first visit.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Donation of blood in the 60 days preceding the first visit.
  • Pregnancy (as confirmed by a HCG test during screening and at Day 1 of each treatment session before dosing) or breast feeding.
  • Subjects with positive results for HIV, hepatitis B or C at screening.
  • Known allergy to the trial drugs ingredients/excipients.
  • Subject has contraindications for the use of oral contraceptives (known or suspected active venous thrombo-embolic disorder, known or suspected hormone dependent malignancies, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, coagulation disorders, menstrual cycle depending migraine, lipid metabolism disorders, hepatic disorders)

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Prucalopride on the Plasma Levels of Oral Contraceptives (Ethinylestradiol and Norethisterone) in Healthy Subjects

This is a randomized, open-label, two-way cross-over drug-drug interaction Phase I trial.

The objectives of this phase I trial are to investigate in healthy female subjects:

  • the effect of prucalopride on the absorption of ethinylestradiol and norethisterone acetate, the active constituents of several oral contraceptives, after the first dose of prucalopride.
  • the effect of multiple oral dosing of 2 mg prucalopride, for 6 days o.d. (steady state), on the pharmacokinetics of ethinylestradiol and norethisterone acetate.

This trial will be conducted in healthy females of child bearing potential, i.e. females aged between 18 and 45 years (pre-menopausal).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing prucalopride in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Movetis at 1 site in Germany.

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 11 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 17 May 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 Germany. 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 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?

plasma levels oral contraceptives (time frame: first days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01036893, 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 17 May 2011.
