About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Evaluate the Effects of Age and Sex on the Pharmacokinetics of Apremilast (CC-10004) in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of age and sex on the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single oral dose of 30 mg apremilast in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, parallel group study where eligible elderly adults (aged 65-85 years inclusive) and younger adults (aged 18-55 years inclusive) and who are matched to the elderly participants by sex and body mass index (BMI) (± 10%) will receive a single dose of 30 mg apremilast under fasting conditions.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) was any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that appeared or worsened in a participant during the course of the study. It could have been a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the participant's health including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a pre-existing condition) was considered an AE.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to 11 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Apremilast in people with Healthy Volunteer, run by Amgen at 2 sites 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 10 inclusion and 5 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 14 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Apr 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of Apremilast (time frame: Day 1 predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours after dosing.). The study lists 14 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 14 Apr 2021.
