About this study

Official title: Pivotal Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of the To-be-Marketed Sprinkle Capsule Formulation and the Phase 3 Sprinkle Capsule Formulation of Rabeprazole Sodium in Fasted Condition and to Assess the Effect of Food on the To-be-Marketed Formulation in Healthy Adult Subjects

The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare the pharmacokinetics (blood levels) of 2 sprinkle capsule formulations of rabeprazole sodium when administered without food to healthy volunteers. In addition, the pharmacokinetics of 1 formulation of rabeprazole sodium will be evaluated when administered with food to healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), open-label (the volunteer will know the treatment/drug they are taking), single-dose study of 2 formulations of rabeprazole sodium in healthy adult volunteers. Rabeprazole sodium is a drug used to treat patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), a condition where the esophagus (tube from throat to stomach) becomes irritated or inflamed as a result of acid that backs up into the esophagus from the stomach. All volunteers will receive 3 doses of study drug; each dose of study drug will be separated by at least 7 days. Blood samples will be collected from volunteers during the study to measure the concentration of study drug. Approximately 78 healthy volunteers will be enrolled and will participate in the study for a total of approximately 39 days. During the study, the healthy volunteer will make a total of approximately 4 visits to the study center. The 4 visits will include an initial screening visit and 3 visits to receive study drug. Volunteers will be required to stay at the study center for at least 12 hours before study drug administration and up to approximately 24 hours after study drug administration to have study procedures performed and blood samples collected to measure the concentrations of rabeprazole and its thioether metabolite (a substance produced when rabeprazole is metabolized in the body) in the plasma (ie, the clear liquid portion of blood). Volunteers will be monitored for safety throughout the study. Healthy volunteers will receive a single dose of study drug in 3 treatment periods. In each treatment period, healthy volunteers will receive one 10 mg capsule of rabeprazole sodium or two 5 mg capsules of rabeprazole sodium. The contents of study drug capsules will be sprinkled on 1 tablespoon of applesauce and administered orally (by mouth) to healthy volunteers in the morning who have fasted (not eaten) overnight and to those who have eaten a standardized breakfast.

What participants receive

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

  • Rabeprazole sodium: Treatment ADrug

    One single oral dose of 10 mg (1 x 10-mg capsule) rabeprazole to be-marketed sprinkle capsule granule formulation administered in fasted state. After the capsules are opened, the granules will be sprinkled on applesauce (1 tablespoon).

  • Rabeprazole sodium: Treatment BDrug

    One single oral dose of 10 mg (2 x 5-mg capsules) rabeprazole Phase 3 sprinkle capsule granule formulation administered in fasted state. After the capsules are opened, the granules will be sprinkled on applesauce (1 tablespoon).

  • Rabeprazole sodium: Treatment CDrug

    One single oral dose of 10 mg (1 x 10-mg capsule) rabeprazole to be-marketed sprinkle capsule granule formulation administered after consumption of a standardized high-fat high-caloric breakfast. After the capsules are opened, the granules will be sprinkled on applesauce (1 tablespoon).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rabeprazole sodium: Treatment A, Rabeprazole sodium: Treatment B and Rabeprazole sodium: Treatment C in people with Healthy, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 30 Oct 2012. 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?

Plasma concentrations of rabeprazole sodium (time frame: Up to 16 hours after each study drug administration). The study lists 2 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 NCT01241409, 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 30 Oct 2012.
