About this study

Official title: An Open Label Study Conducted in Healthy Subjects to Demonstrate Bioequivalence Between Ropinirole Prolonged Release Tablets (Ropinirole XL, Marketed as REQUIP-MODUTAB™, REQUIP XL™ at 2 mg) Manufactured at Crawley and Aranda

This is an open-label, randomised, two-period crossover, single dose study to demonstrate bioequivalence between the extended release 2 mg ropinirole XL tablets manufactured at two different sites in healthy subjects. Dosing will be under fasting conditions and there will be a minimum one week washout between doses. Domperidone will be administered to control dopaminergic side effects. Pharmacokinetic samples will be taken following each dose. Safety assessments will include screening and follow-up vital signs, ECGs and safety laboratory tests. Vital signs and adverse events will be monitored periodically throughout the study.

This is an open-label, randomised, two-period crossover, single dose study to demonstrate bioequivalence between the extended release 2 mg ropinirole XL tablets manufactured at two different sites in healthy subjects. Dosing will be under fasting conditions and there will be a minimum one week washout between doses. Domperidone will be administered to control dopaminergic side effects. Pharmacokinetic samples will be taken following each dose. Safety assessments will include screening and follow-up vital signs, ECGs and safety laboratory tests. Vital signs and adverse events will be monitored periodically throughout the study.

The manufacturing of ropinirole XL tablets will be moved from the Crawley (UK) manufacturing facility to the Aranda (Spain) manufacturing facility. The tablets manufactured at Aranda will have the same characteristics as those manufactured at Crawley.

The present pharmacokinetic study is designed to assess bioequivalence of ropinirole XL 2 mg tablets manufactured at Aranda vs ropinirole XL 2 mg tablets manufactured at Crawley. Bioequivalence between the two tablets will be tested in healthy subjects and administered in the fasting state.

What is being measured

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

  1. PK samples will be measured for each formulation and compared between sites. The units of measure for this will include PK parameters, for example, Bioavailability, clearance and volume of distribution and Area under the curve.

    PK parameters used to measure this change : AUC(0-infinity), AUC(0-t), Cmax, tmax, lambda - z and t1/2

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety values including Vital signs, BP, ECG values will be taken from the study for each cohort dosed with each formulation. The change in values will be compared from each formulation and any change bewteeen the two cohorts will be examined.

    BP measures will a Systolic BP \&amp;; Diastolic BP (Hg mm). ECG levels will be taken looking at QTc measures. Vital signs will include blood pressur and pulse rate will be recorded at pre-dose and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours post-dose of ropinirole

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ropinirole XL in people with Parkinson Disease, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Belgium.

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 9 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 19 Jun 2018. 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 Belgium. 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?

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?

PK samples will be measured for each formulation and compared between sites. The units of measure for this will include PK parameters, for example, Bioavailability, clearance and volume of distribution and Area under the curve. (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT01371682, 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 19 Jun 2018.
