About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, 4-Way Crossover Study to Assess the Relative Bioavailability of 3 New Abiraterone Acetate Tablet Formulations With Respect to the Current Commercial Abiraterone Acetate Tablet Under Fasted Conditions in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) and relative bioavailability of 3 newly developed abiraterone acetate tablet formulations compared with the current commercial abiraterone acetate tablet formulation in healthy male participants, under fasted conditions, at a single dose of 1000 mg.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), single-center, 4-way crossover study (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another in a clinical trial) of a single dose of abiraterone acetate (1000 mg). The study will consist of 3 phases including screening phase (of 21 days), an open-label treatment phase consisting of 4 single-dose treatment periods, and follow-up phase. All participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 possible treatment sequences to ensure that they receive all of the following treatments, one in each period. The 4 sequences are as follows: Sequence 1: Treatment A, D, B, and C; Sequence 2: Treatment B, A, C, and D; Sequence 3: Treatment C, B, D, and A; and Sequence 4: Treatment D, C, A, and B. After a washout period of 7 days, follow-up phase will occur between 5 to 7 days after the last study procedure. The duration of participation in the study for each participant is from 47 days to a maximum of 68 days (including screening). Pharmacokinetics will be measured by collection of blood samples. Participants will be confined to the study center until completion of the 96 hour pharmacokinetic assessments on Day 5 of each treatment period. Safety evaluations for adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, and physical examinations will be monitored throughout the study.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of abiraterone in coated, reformulated tablet compared to abiraterone in uncoated, current commercial tablet

    Pharmacokinetic parameter Cmax of abiraterone (coated, reformulated tablet and uncoated, current commercial tablet) will be measured when abiraterone acetate is administered as a single oral 1000-mg dose.

    Measured: For each period: Predose, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and at 96 hours

  2. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of abiraterone in coated, reformulated tablet compared to abiraterone in uncoated, current commercial tablet

    Pharmacokinetic parameter AUC of abiraterone (coated, reformulated tablet and uncoated, current commercial tablet) will be measured when abiraterone acetate is administered as a single oral 1000-mg dose.

    Measured: For each period: Predose, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and at 96 hours

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

    Measured: Up to 68 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Abiraterone acetate, 250 mg (uncoated, current commercial tablet), Abiraterone acetate, 500 mg (coated, reformulated tablet) and Abiraterone acetate, 250 mg (coated, reformulated tablet) in people with Healthy Participants, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC 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 5 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 4 Mar 2013. 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 plasma concentration (Cmax) of abiraterone in coated, reformulated tablet compared to abiraterone in uncoated, current commercial tablet (time frame: For each period: Predose, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and at 96 hours). 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 4 Mar 2013.
