About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Oral Fampridine-PR 10 mg in Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasian Adult Healthy Volunteers

The primary objective of the study is to determine the Pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profiles of fampridine-PR 10 mg in Chinese and Japanese adult healthy volunteers. The secondary objective of this study is to compare the PK and safety profiles of fampridine-PR 10 mg among the Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasian adult healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

The Caucasian group is included to allow comparison of pharmacokinetic and safety data from different race groups to be performed with data obtained from the same study under the same controlled conditions.

What participants receive

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

  • BIIB041 (Fampridine-PR)Drug

    Also called AMPYRA®, Dalfampridine, FAMPYRA®

    A single 10mg dose tablet by mouth of fampridine prolonged-release (PR) for all participants

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events in each ethnic group

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 7

  2. Observed maximum (peak) plasma 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Day 1 (0 to 24 Hours After Dosing)

  3. Time to reach Cmax following study treatment administration (Tmax)

    Measured: Day 1 (0 to 24 Hours After Dosing)

  4. Area under the time-concentration curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Measured: Day 1 (0 to 24 Hours After Dosing)

  5. Apparent elimination half-life (T1/2)

    Measured: Day 1 (0 to 24 Hours After Dosing)

  6. Renal clearance of the drug from plasma

    Measured: Day 1 (0 to 24 Hours After Dosing)

  7. Renal clearance as a fraction of total clearance

    Measured: Day 1 (0 to 24 Hours After Dosing)

  8. Cumulative excreted drug amount at specified sampling intervals (calculated using the concentration data)

    Measured: Day 1 (0 to 24 Hours After Dosing)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIIB041 (Fampridine-PR) in people with Healthy, run by Biogen at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 20 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 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia, Hong Kong. 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?

Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events in each ethnic group (time frame: Day 1 to Day 7). The study lists 8 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 9 Jul 2014.
