What is being measured

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

  1. Measure: Profile of Pharmacokinetics of AFQ056 in each subjects groups

    AUClast, AUCinf, Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, CL/F, Vz/F

    Measured: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measure: : Number of subjects with adverse event in each group

    Number and type of adverse events, number and type of findings in standard laboratory results, special laboratory results (Hypothaliamic-pituitary axis, porphyrin profile) electrocardiogram holters, or in vital signs

    Measured: From dose administration (day 1) to 13+/- 2 days after the single dose administration

  2. Measure: Plasma protein binding results of AFQ056 in each groups.

    Measured: 2 hours after single dose administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AFQ056 in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 14 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 8 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Germany, Hungary. 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?

Measure: Profile of Pharmacokinetics of AFQ056 in each subjects groups (time frame: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours post-dose). 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 8 Dec 2020.
