About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Drug-Drug Interaction Study to Assess the Effect of Rifampicin on the Pharmacokinetics of Abiraterone (JNJ-589485) Following Administration of Abiraterone Acetate (JNJ-212082) Tablets in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of repeated daily administration of rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) of abiraterone following single-dose administration of abiraterone acetate tablets in healthy male participants.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-center (study conducted at one site), 2-period, sequential-design (studies that combine both longitudinal and cross sectional methods), to evaluate the effects of rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics of abiraterone acetate in healthy male participants. The study consists of a screening phase, an open-label treatment phase, and a follow up phase. The screening phase will be within 14 days before the first study medication administration. The treatment phase will consist of 2 treatment periods, Period 1: a single oral dose of abiraterone acetate tablets, and Period 2: a daily oral dose of rifampicin capsules alongwith a single oral dose of abiraterone acetate tablets. The 2 periods will be separated by a washout period of at least 7 days. Blood sample collection for pharmacokinetic assessments will be done for determination of abiraterone and rifampicin concentrations. The follow up phase will be of 14 days. Safety evaluations for adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, and physical examinations will be monitored throughout the study. The total study duration will be approximately 31 days.

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 Period 1 and Period 2

    Pharmacokinetic parameter Cmax of abiraterone was measured when abiraterone acetate was administered in Period 1 and Period 2.

    Measured: Period 1: Day 1 to Day 4; Period 2: Day 14 to Day 17

  2. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of abiraterone in Period 1 and Period 2

    Pharmacokinetic parameter AUC of abiraterone was measured when abiraterone acetate was administered in Period 1 and Period 2.

    Measured: Period 1: Day 1 to Day 4; Period 2: Day 14 to Day 17

  3. Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (tmax) of abiraterone in Period 1 and Period 2

    Pharmacokinetic parameter tmax of abiraterone was measured when abiraterone acetate was administered in Period 1 and Period 2.

    Measured: Period 1: Day 1 to Day 4; Period 2: Day 14 to Day 17

  4. Eliminaton half-life (t1/2) of abiraterone in Period 1 and Period 2

    Pharmacokinetic parameter t1/2 of abiraterone was measured when abiraterone acetate was administered in Period 1 and Period 2.

    Measured: Period 1: Day 1 to Day 4; Period 2: Day 14 to Day 17

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

    Measured: Up to 31 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Abiraterone acetate and Rifampicin in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in Belgium.

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 10 Jan 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 Belgium. 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 Period 1 and Period 2 (time frame: Period 1: Day 1 to Day 4; Period 2: Day 14 to Day 17). The study lists 4 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 10 Jan 2013.
