About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Single Cohort, Four-period Sequential Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of Metformin Alone and in Combination With Ranolazine in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of steady-state ranolazine on the steady state PK of metformin in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is as follows:

  • To evaluate the effect of steady-state ranolazine on the steady state PK of metformin in subjects with T2DM.

The secondary objectives of this study are as follows:

  • To examine the safety and tolerability of metformin when co administered with ranolazine at steady-state in subjects with T2DM.
  • To determine the steady-state PK of ranolazine in subjects with T2DM receiving metformin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of metformin

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose on Days 5, 10, 15 and 20

  2. Time to reach maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of metformin

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose on Days 5, 10, 15 and 20

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve over the dosing interval, at steady state (AUCtau) of metformin

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose on Days 5, 10, 15 and 20

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: participants will be followed upon signing informed consent until the follow-up phone call, an expected average of 7 weeks

  2. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of ranolazine and metabolites

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose on Days 15 and 20

  3. Time to reach maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of ranolazine and metabolites

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose on Days 15 and 20

  4. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve over the dosing interval, at steady state (AUCtau) of ranolazine and metabolites

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose on Days 15 and 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Metformin and Ranolazine in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Gilead Sciences 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 9 inclusion and 20 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 11 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 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?

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of metformin (time frame: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose on Days 5, 10, 15 and 20). The study lists 3 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 11 Jul 2012.
