About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and PK-PD Profile of Metformin Glycinate 620 mg,1240 mg, 2480 mg and Metformin Chlorhydrate 1000 mg of One Single Dose, Multiple Dose and After Food Intake.

Metformin Glycinate is a novel biguanide compound developed as a potential candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Metformin Glycinate was found to improve metabolic control in naive patients with type 2 diabetes.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pK profile of Metformin Glycinate 620 mg QD, 1240 mg QD, 2480 mg QD, after administration of one single dose, in step A. In step A will be included 25 volunteers.

In step B the objective is to evaluate Safety, tolerability and pK profile of Metformin Glycinate 620 mg BID, after administration of multiple dose during 8 days. In step B will be included 24 volunteers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Step A: metformin glycinate 620 mg single dose, Step A: metformin glycinate 1240 mg single dose and Step A: metformin glycinate 2480 mg single dose in people with Healthy, run by Laboratorios Silanes S.A. de C.V. at 1 site in Spain.

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 10 inclusion and 9 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 30 Jan 2018. 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 Spain. 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?

Step A: Number of Adverse Events of Metformin Glycinate 620 mg QD, 1240 mg QD, 2480 mg QD, after administration of one single dose (time frame: 35 days). The study lists 2 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 30 Jan 2018.
