About this study

In the present study, the investigators will establish the clinical trial technology for early evaluation of drug characteristics in terms of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for haloperidol as a model drug, using positron emission tomography.

Read the detailed description
  1. Study Design This study will consist of two parts. One is "biodistribution study of haloperidol" in 12 subjects, and the other is "receptor occupancy study of haloperidol" in 12 subjects. In the biodistribution study, 18F-haloperidol (10 mCi) will be injected intravenously two times into each of the 12 subjects (cross-over design). Whole body PET will be conducted after the first haloperidol injection and local brain PET after the 2nd haloperidol injection after the 7 day washout period. 1.1 D2-receptor occupancy study Group Doses No. of subjects 1 0.5 mg 4 2 1 mg 4 3 3 mg 4
  2. Measurement 2.1 The D2 receptor Occupancy of haloperidol.
  3. Test schedule 3.1 Biodistribution study
  • Whole body PET (day 1)
  • Brain local PET (day 8) 3.2 Receptor occupancy study
  • Baseline PET before drug administration (day 1 0h), 6h (day 1 6h), 24h (day 2 0h), after the first haloperidol administration (day 1 0h), and 24 h (day 8), 72 h (day 10), and 168 h (day 14) after the last dosing of haloperidol (day 7 0h).
  • Drug administration from day 1 through day 7 every 24 hours PK blood sampling (6 ml, each) prior to the first haloperidol administration (day 1 0h) and 6h (1 day 6h), 24h (2 day 0h), 48 h (3 day 0h), 96 h (5 day 0h), 144 h (7 day 0h) and, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 h (8day 0h), 48h (9day 0h), 72h (10 day 0h) after taking the last oral dose of haloperidol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing haloperidol, PET in people with Healthy, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 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 11 Jul 2013. 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 South Korea. 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 haloperidol concentration (time frame: day 1 0h (predose), day 1 6h, day 2 0h, day 3 0h (predose), day 5 0h (predose), and day 7 0h (predose), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24(day 8 0h), 48(day 9 0h), 72h (day 10h)). 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 11 Jul 2013.
