About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open Label, Parallel Group, Single Dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Isavuconazole in Healthy Non-Elderly and Elderly Male and Female Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of isavuconazole in healthy non-elderly and elderly male and female subjects.

Read the detailed description

All subjects receive a single dose of isavuconazole on Day 1 under fasting conditions. Subjects are confined to study center from Day -1 until Day 4 when they are discharged. Subjects return for outpatient visits on Days 6, 8, 11, 13 and 15.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) variables for isavuconazole (in plasma): AUCinf, AUClast, and Cmax

    Area under the concentration-time curve from time of dosing to infinity (AUCinf), Area under the concentration-time curve from time of dosing to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) and Maximum concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Day 1: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 ,6, 8,10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, 288, 336 hours post-dose on Day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PK variables for isavuconazole (in plasma): Vz/F, CL/F, t1/2, tmax

    Apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F), Apparent body clearance after oral dosing (CL/F), Apparent terminal elimination half-life (t ½), Time to attain maximum concentration (tmax)

    Measured: Day 1: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1,1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,10, 12, 16, 20, 24 ,36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, 288, 336 hours post-dose on Day 1

  2. Safety assessed by recording adverse events, laboratory assessments, physical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs)

    Measured: Day 1-15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing isavuconazole in people with Pharmacokinetics of Isavuconazole and Healthy Volunteers, run by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 1 Sep 2015. 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?

Pharmacokinetics (PK) variables for isavuconazole (in plasma): AUCinf, AUClast, and Cmax (time frame: Day 1: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 ,6, 8,10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, 288, 336 hours post-dose on Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01657890, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Sep 2015.
