About this study
Official title: Phase 1 Assessment of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Two Epoetin Alfa, Eritromax (Blau Farmacêutica) and Eprex (Janssen-Cilag), After Single Dose, Intravenous Administration in Healthy Subjects: a Randomized Study.
The hypothesis of this trial is that the test drug (Eritromax ®) pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics parameters are similar to the comparator drug (Eprex ®) in healthy subjects following administration of single intravenous dose. The objective of this randomized, crossover, clinical trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of the drug Eritromax® marketed by Blau Farmacêutica, compared to the product Eprex ®, produced by Janssen-Cilag, by assessing plasma concentration of the drug and the reticulocyte count following a single-dose intravenous administration of 100 IU/kg in healthy subjects.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Epoetin Alfa in people with Healthy, run by Azidus Brasil at 1 site in Brazil.
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 19 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2012. 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 Brazil. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Alexandre Frederico (+55 11 38716399, alexandre@lalclinica.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
rHuEPO serum concentration (time frame: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 minutes 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36 e 48 hours after drug administration). 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 14 Aug 2012.
