About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetic Study on N-acetylneuraminic Acid in Patients With Distal Myopathy With Rimmed Vacuoles (DMRV) - Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (hIBM)

The aim of this study is to investigate pharmacokinetics and safety of N-acetylneuraminic acid in patients with Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) - hereditary inclusion body myopathy (hIBM). Dosages are 800mg single and three times a day and 800mg 3 times a day for 5 consecutive days. N-acetylneuraminic acid and N-glycolylneuraminic acid in serum and urine are measured before and after oral administration of N-acetylneuraminic acid.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in serum concentration of N-acetylneuraminic acid

    Patients with DMRV(hIBM) show low serum N-acetylneuraminic acid level.

    Measured: 24 hours before dosing and dosing days

  2. Change in pharmacokinetic parameters of N-acetylneuraminic acid: AUCt

    Measured: 24 hours before dosing and dosing days

  3. Change in amount of urinary excretion of N-acetylneuraminic acid

    Measured: 24 hours before dosing and dosing days

  4. Safety(adverse events)

    Measured: Up to 5-7 days after dosing

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in serum concentration of N-glycolylneuraminic acid

    Measured: 24 hours before dosing and dosing days

  2. Change in pharmacokinetic parameters of N-glycolylneuraminic acid: AUCt

    Measured: 24 hours before dosing and dosing days

  3. Change in amount of urinary excretion of N-glycolylneuraminic acid

    Measured: 24 hours before dosing and dosing days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NPC-09 in people with Nonaka Myopathy and Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy, run by Tohoku University at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 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 8 Sep 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 Japan. 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?

Change in serum concentration of N-acetylneuraminic acid (time frame: 24 hours before dosing and dosing days). The study lists 4 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 8 Sep 2011.
