What is being measured

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

  1. The Steady State Area Under the Drug Concentration Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours Post Dose AUC(0-12).

    AUC(0-12) was based on blood samples taken at specified outcome measure time frame for dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg tablets in healthy adult volunteers and people with mild or moderate renal impairment.

    Measured: 0 and 1,2,3,4,5,6,8, and 12 hours after the last dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The Maximum Measured Plasma Concentration (Cmax) at Steady State, of Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg Tablets in Healthy Adult Volunteers and Those With Mild and Moderate Renal Impairment and Examine Between-group Differences.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. The Steady State Fractional Clearance, Calculated as the Dose / AUC(0-12) (CL/Fss) of Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg Tablets in Healthy Adult Volunteers and Those With Mild and Moderate Renal Impairment and Examine Between-group Differences.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dalfampridine-ER in people with Renal Insufficiency, run by Acorda Therapeutics at 2 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 7 Nov 2012. 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 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 7 Nov 2012). 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?

The Steady State Area Under the Drug Concentration Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours Post Dose AUC(0-12). (time frame: 0 and 1,2,3,4,5,6,8, and 12 hours after the last dose). 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 7 Nov 2012.
