About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Sequence Study to Assess the Effect of Multiple Doses of Tasimelteon on the Cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2C8 Enzymes Using Midazolam and Rosiglitazone as Substrates in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this research study is to understand whether there is any difference in the amount of midazolam (including its breakdown product) in the blood when midazolam is given with tasimelteon, and whether there is any difference in the amount of rosiglitazone in the blood when rosiglitazone is given with tasimelteon.

What is being measured

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

  1. CYP3A4 Pharmacokinetics

    Composite of 24 hour pharmacokinetic parameters of midazolam will be compared between Day 1 and Day 18.

    Measured: Days 1 and 18

  2. CYP2C8 Pharmacokinetics

    Composite of 24 hour pharmacokinetic parameters of rosiglitazone will be compared between Day 3 and 20.

    Measured: Days 3 and 20

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Midazolam PK

    Composite pharmacokinetic parameters of midazolam and α-hydroxymidazolam will be compared between Day 1 and Day 18.

    Measured: Days 1 and 17

  2. Rosiglitazone PK

    Composite of 24 hour pharmacokinetic parameters of rosiglitazone will be compared between Day 3 and Day 20.

    Measured: Days 3 and 20

  3. Tasimelteon multiple dose pharmacokinetics

    Composite of 24 hour pharmacokinetic parameters of tasimelteon and tasimelteon metabolites M9, M11, M12, M13, and M14, at Days 5, 8, 11, 14 (Group 1 only), and Days 17 and 19 (Groups 1 and 2).

    Measured: Days 4-21

  4. Tasimelteon safety and tolerability

    Safety of multiple oral doses of 20 mg of tasimelteon alone and in combination with 10 mg of midazolam as measured by vital signs, ECG, and adverse event reporting.

    Measured: Days 1-21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tasimelteon, Rosiglitazone and Midazolam in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Vanda Pharmaceuticals at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 17 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 17 Feb 2014. 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 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?

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?

CYP3A4 Pharmacokinetics (time frame: Days 1 and 18). 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?
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 17 Feb 2014.
