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 65 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Medically stable male and female subjects aged greater than or equal to 65 years with suitable veins for cannulation or repeated venipuncture. Subjects may have controlled chronic diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mild or moderate renal insufficiency (Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) per the Modified Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] formula >50 mL/min/1.73 m2), rhinitis etc. as long as there has not been any significant changes in their medical condition or medications for the preceding 6 weeks. Classification of renal impairment will be based using an MDRD equation
  • Male subjects who are sexually active must use a condom and their partner if of childbearing potential must use a reliable method of contraception from the first dose of investigational product until 3 months after their last dose
  • Have a body mass index (BMI) between 19 and 32 kg/m2 and weigh at least 50 kg

Who cannot join

  • History of any clinically significant medical, neurologic or psychiatric disease or disorder (other than those previously defined as acceptable for this population, see inclusion criterion 1) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results of the subject's ability to participate in the study: This includes seizure activity and repeated episodes of major depression
  • Significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease such as: a history of acute coronary syndrome; angina that has been symptomatic in the last 6 months; significant symptomatic arrhythmia; a stroke; transient ischemic attack that have occurred in the last 6 months
  • History or presence of gastrointestinal or hepatic disease or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs
  • Subjects who have type 2 diabetes must have an HbA1c of less than 8% according to the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) at screening
  • Significant renal insufficiency as defined by eGFR per the MDRD formula <50 mL/min/1.73 m2 (individual eGFR measurements will be documented in the protocol).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TC-5214 in people with Elderly Subjects 65 Years and Older, Healthy or With a Stable Disease and Treatment., run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Sweden.

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 5 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 28 Jun 2012. 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 Sweden. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Incidence of Adverse events (time frame: Range of 5 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01239771, 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 28 Jun 2012.
