Who cannot join

  • Bioequivalence studies are usually conducted in healthy adult subjects in order to assess and compare the pharmacokinetic profile of test and reference formulations under uniform conditions. Therefore it is essential to exclude those subjects who show abnormalities with respect to their health parameters. Subjects were excluded to participate in the study based on certain criteria. These criteria were made in order to safeguard the health of the subjects enrolled into the study.
  • Subjects incapable of understanding the informed consent.
  • Subjects with BP≤90/60 or BP≥140/90
  • History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to Simvastatin.
  • Any evidence of impairment of renal, hepatic, cardiac, lung or gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, neurologic and haematologic function.
  • Regular smoker who smokes more than ten cigarettes daily and has difficulty in abstaining from smoking for the duration of each study period.

  • Subjects who has taken over the counter or prescribed medications, including any enzyme modifying drugs or any systemic medication within the past 30 days prior to start of clinical period.
  • History of any psychiatric illness, which may impair the ability to provide written, informed consent.
  • Subjects who have a history of alcohol or substance abuse within the last 5 years.
  • Subjects with clinically significant abnormal values of laboratory parameters.
  • Subjects who have participated in any other clinical investigation using experimental drug or had bled more than 350 mL in the past 3 months.
  • Subjects who tested positive at screening for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen or Hepatitis C Virus
  • Subjects with positive urine screen for drugs of abuse.
  • Any subject in whom Simvastatin is contraindicated for medical reasons.
  • Subjects who have used any drugs or substances such as herbal preparations known to be strong inhibitors of CYP.enzymes (formerly known as cytochrome P450 enzymes) within 14 days prior to the first dose.
  • Female volunteers demonstrating a positive pregnancy screen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Simvastatin in people with Healthy, run by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited.

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 10 inclusion and 17 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 9 Aug 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?

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?

Bioequivalence based on Cmax and AUC parameters (time frame: 4 months). 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 9 Aug 2010.
