About this study

Official title: A RANDOMIZED, BALANCED, OPEN LABEL, CROSSOVER, TWO PERIOD, TWO TREATMENT, TWO SEQUENCE, SINGLE DOSE, BIOEQUIVALENCE STUDY OF ACOTRAL® EZETIMIBE 10 MG TABLETS CONTAINING EZETIMIBE MANUFACTURED BY LABORATORIOS PHOENIX S.A.I.C.F, ARGENTINA AND ZETIA® EZETIMIBE 10 MG TABLETS OF MERCK/SCHERING - PLOUGH PHARMACEUTICALS, USA IN HEALTHY ADULT HUMAN MALE SUBJECTS UNDER FASTING CONDITION

Bioequivalence study comparing test Acotral® ezetimibe 10 mg tablet manufactured by Laboratorios Phoenix, with a reference comparator Zetia® ezetimibe 10 mg tablet of Merck/Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals. The CRO Clinigene Bangalore, will conduct the study. Fifty two healthy adult subjects who have satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria and given their informed consent will be entered into the study. They will be fasted and receive one tablet by mouth in accordance with a randomisation list and blood samples will be taken at specified intervals over the ensuing 3 days. Between 14 and 21 days later, subjects will receive the opposite tablet and the clinical process repeated. Subjects will be continuously monitored while in the trial clinic and at ambulatory visits with regular measurements of vital signs and questioned for adverse events. Drug concentrations will be analysed and these results compared to ascertain bioequivalence by applying statistical methods to the pharmacokinetic data; this information and all safety data will be formally reported.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, balanced, open label, crossover, two period, two treatment, two sequence, single dose bioequivalence study comparing test Acotral® ezetimibe 10 mg tablet manufactured by Laboratorios Phoenix, Argentina with a reference comparator Zetia® ezetimibe 10 mg tablet of Merck/Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals, USA. The CRO Clinigene International Ltd, Bangalore, India will conduct the study. Fifty two healthy male adult subjects who have satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria and given their written informed consent will be entered into the study. They will be fasted overnight and receive one tablet by mouth in accordance with a randomisation list and venous blood samples will be taken at specified intervals over the ensuing 3 days; meals and water ad libitum will be allowed. Between 14 and 21 days later, subjects will return to the clinic and follow the same procedure to receive the opposite tablet and the clinical process repeated. Subjects will be continuously safety monitored while in the trial clinic and at ambulatory visits with regular measurements of vital signs and questioned for adverse events in accordance with the trial clinic SOPs. Drug concentrations will be analysed and these results compared in accordance with the study protocol to ascertain bioequivalence by applying statistical methods to the pharmacokinetic data; this information and all safety data will be formally reported to GSK.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 10mg Ezetimibe and 10 mg Ezetimibe - wash out period in people with Hypercholesterolaemia, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in India.

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 8 inclusion and 22 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 20 Jun 2017. 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 India. 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?

Changes from baseline in plasma ezetimibe concentrations in time after dosing (time frame: At 0 time and up to 72 hours after last dose). 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 20 Jun 2017.
