Official title: Drug-Drug Interaction Study to Assess the Effects of Steady-State Cardizem LA (Diltiazem Hydrochloride) and Steady-State Pitavastatin on Their Respective Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Adult Volunteers

This is a Phase 4, single-center, open-label, fixed-sequence, multiple-dose, 2-way drug-drug interaction study.

Read the detailed description

Each subject will qualify for entry into the study not more than 30 days prior to admission into the clinical unit. Subjects will check into the clinical unit on Day -1 for baseline assessments. During the treatment period, each subject will receive a once-daily dose of pitavastatin 4 mg on Days 1 through 5 and on Days 11 through 15 and a once-daily dose of diltiazem 240 mg on Days 6 through 15. Subjects will fast overnight for at least 8 hours before dosing and will remain fasted until 4 hours after dosing on the morning of Days 5, 10, and 15.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pitavastatin (NK-104) and Diltiazem (Cardizem LA) 240 mg QD in people with Healthy, run by Kowa Research Institute, Inc. 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 13 Jul 2012. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 12 Apr 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?

NK-104 AUC (time frame: 15 Days). 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 13 Jul 2012.
