About this study
The objective of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of AK159 administered to healthy postmenopausal women.
Read the detailed description
This study consists of Part 1 and Part 2. <Part 1> Part 1 will be conducted according to a single-centre, randomized, single-dose, 3-period, 5-treatment alternating crossover design in two groups of healthy post-menopausal women The pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single dose of AK159 (4 levels) will be investigated versus teriparatide acetate for injection as a control.
<Part 2> Part 2 will be conducted according to a multiple-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeated dose parallel design of healthy post-menopausal women The pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of AK159 (4 levels) for 8 weeks will be investigated versus teriparatide acetate for injection and placebo as controls. Pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability following long-term application will also be investigated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing AK159 and MN-10-T in people with Osteoporosis, run by Asahi Kasei Therapeutics Corporation at 3 sites in Japan.
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 1 inclusion and 12 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 25 Jul 2016. 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 Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of teriparatide (time frame: up to 6 hours after single and repeated administration). 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 25 Jul 2016.
