About this study

Official title: A Single-dose, Open-label, Parallel Group, Matched Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics of Oral OPC-34712 Tablet in Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function and Hepatically Impaired Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how much of the investigational product gets into the blood stream and how long the body takes to get rid of it when given to subjects with a range of liver impairment compared to subjects with normal liver function.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, open-label, parallel-arm study in 1 group of subjects with normal hepatic function and 3 groups of subjects with varying degrees of hepatic impairment (mild, moderate, and severe). Subjects will be confined to the clinic from Day -1 to Day 8. Subjects will be contacted via telephone 30 days (+ 2 days) after the last dose of study medication to assess any new or ongoing AEs and to record concomitant medications. All groups will receive a single oral 2-mg OPC-34712 dose on Day 1 with 240 mL room temperature still water. Subjects will be administered the OPC-34712 dose in the fasted state (at least 8 hours of fasting) and no food will be allowed for 4 hours postdose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Unbound Brexpiprazole Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) Calculated to the Last Observable Concentration at Time t (AUCt,u)

    Blood samples were taken at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/Early termination (ET).

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  2. Unbound Brexpiprazole AUC Calculated From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC∞,u)

    Blood samples were taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    AUC (0 - ∞)= AUC from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞).

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  3. Unbound Maximum Plasma Concentration of Brexpiprazole (Cmax,u)

    Blood samples were taken at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    Cmax,u is the highest measured unbound plasma concentration during the dosing interval.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

Secondary outcomes (24)
  1. Area Under the Curve of Brexpiprazole Calculated to the Last Observable Concentration at Time t (AUCt)

    Blood samples were taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    AUCt= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to time of last quantifiable concentration (0-t) The AUCt was estimated using the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  2. Area Under the Concentration Time Curve of Brexpiprazole From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC∞)

    Blood samples were taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    AUC (0 - ∞)= AUC from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞).

    The AUC∞ was estimated using the linear trapezoidal rule

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration of Brexpiprazole (Cmax)

    Blood samples were taken at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    Cmax is the highest measured concentration of the drug during the dosing interval.

    Actual blood sample times were used for PK calculations. Values for Cmax and tmax were determined directly from the observed data.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  4. Time to Cmax of Brexiprazole (Tmax)

    Blood samples were taken at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    Tmax is the time taken to reach highest measured concentration of the drug during the dosing interval.

    Actual blood sample times were used for PK calculations. Values for Cmax and tmax were determined directly from the observed data.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  5. Apparent Clearance of Brexpiprazole From Plasma After Extravascular Administration (CL/F)

    The value of CL/F (brexpiprazole only) was determined as Dose/AUC∞.

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population PK modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  6. Unbound Fraction of Brexpiprazole in Plasma (fu)

    Blood samples were taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  7. Apparent Unbound Clearance of Brexpiprazole From Plasma After Extravascular Administration (CLu/F)

    Blood samples were taken at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

    The value of CLu/F (brexpiprazole only) was determined as dose normalized unbound area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (Dose/AUC∞,u).

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  8. Terminal-phase Elimination Half-life of Brexpiprazole (t1/2,z)

    Blood samples were taken at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose/ET.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing OPC-34712 in people with Schizophrenia, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 26 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 20 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Sep 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Unbound Brexpiprazole Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) Calculated to the Last Observable Concentration at Time t (AUCt,u) (time frame: Day 1 to Day 8). The study lists 3 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 20 Oct 2015.
