About this study

Official title: Randomized, Two-period, Cross-over, Bioequivalence Study on Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0,4 mg Prolonged Release Hard Gelatin Capsule Versus SECOTEX® (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride) 0,4 mg Prolonged Release Hard Gelatin Capsule Healthy Male Volunteers Under Fed Conditions

It will be an open-label, randomized, laboratory-blind, crossover study with 02 treatments, 02 sequences, and 02 periods, in which the volunteers receive, in each period, the test formulation or the reference formulation, under fed conditions.

Read the detailed description

It will be an open-label, randomized, laboratory-blind, crossover study with 02 treatments, 02 sequences, and 02 periods, in which the volunteers receive, in each period, the test formulation or the reference formulation, under fed conditions.

The treatment's sequence attributed to each volunteer on the study period is determined by a randomization list, which is generated by PROC PLAN from SAS version 9.1.3 system.

The formulations will be administered as a single oral dose followed by blood collections between, at least, 3 to 5 half-lives. The treatment's periods may obey a minimum interval of 7 half lives between them (period for drug's whole elimination by the organism).

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC 0-t

    The area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time after drug administration is defined as the area under the curve (AUC). The AUC from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) to time t (the time of the last quantifiable concentration) was calculated using the trapezoidal method. This method consists of the sum of the trapezoids' areas, determined by the collection times and their concentrations. The AUC is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption. ng, nanograms; ml, milliliter.

    Measured: Day 1 (day that blood collections started) to Day 4 (Period 1) and Days 8 to 11 (Period 2)

  2. AUC0-infinity

    The area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time after drug administration is defined as the area under the curve (AUC). The AUC from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) to infinity (the time of complete elimination of the drug) was calculated using the trapezoidal method. This method consists of the sum of the trapezoids' areas, determined by the collection times and their concentrations. The AUC is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption.

    Measured: Day 1 (day that blood collections started) to Day 4 (Period 1) and Days 8 to 11 (Period 2)

  3. Cmax

    Cmax is defined as the maximum or "peak" concentration of a drug observed after its administration. Cmax is one of the parameters of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the total amount of drug absorbed.

    Measured: Day 1 (day that blood collections started) to Day 4 (Period 1) and Days 8 to 11 (Period 2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Reference formulation and Test formulation in people with Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Brazil.

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 13 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 1 Aug 2017. 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 Brazil. 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 6 Apr 2011). 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?

AUC 0-t (time frame: Day 1 (day that blood collections started) to Day 4 (Period 1) and Days 8 to 11 (Period 2)). 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 1 Aug 2017.
