What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of Single doses of BMS-708163 in the range of 0.3 to 800 mg in the healthy subjects

    Based on adverse event reports and the results of vital sign measurements, ECGs, physical examinations, and clinical laboratory tests

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Effects of BMS-708163 on cortisol and QT interval corrected for heart rate

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  2. Effect of BMS-708163 on thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (T4), and lymphocyte subsets

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  3. Bioavailability of BMS-708163 from a capsule formulation relative to a solution formulation

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  4. Effect of food on the PK of BMS-708163 administered as a capsule formulation

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  5. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of BMS-708163

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  6. Time of maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax) of BMS-708163

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  7. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration [AUC(0-T)] of BMS-708163

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  8. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time [AUC(INF)] of BMS-708163

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

  9. Plasma half-life (T-HALF) of BMS-708163

    Measured: Within 28 days of dosing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BMS-708163 (Gamma-Secretase Inhibitor) in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 6 inclusion and 0 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 21 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Safety and tolerability of Single doses of BMS-708163 in the range of 0.3 to 800 mg in the healthy subjects (time frame: Within 28 days of dosing). 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 NCT01454115, 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 21 Nov 2011.
