About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label, Sequential, Single-Dose Study to Assess the Absolute Bioavailability and Pharmacokinetics of TMC435 Administered as Single Oral Doses of 50 mg and 150 mg and an Intravenous Microdose of 100 μg [3H]-TMC435 in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the absolute bioavailability and pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) of simeprevir (TMC435) after administration of single oral doses of 50 mg and 150 mg when administered together with a single intravenous (IV) dose of 100 microgram [3H]-TMC435 in healthy male participants.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), sequential (a single group of participants where study medication is administered in a sequence), single-dose study to assess the absolute bioavailability and pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) of single oral doses of 50 mg and 150 mg simeprevir (TMC435) administered together with an intravenous (IV) microdose of 100 microgram [3H]-TMC435 in healthy male participants. The study consists of 3 phases, screening phase (21 days prior to administration of study medication), treatment phase, and a follow up phase. In the treatment phase, participants will receive 2 treatments, ie, Treatment A: single oral dose of simeprevir (TMC435) 50 mg followed 5 hours later by a single 10 minute IV infusion of [3H]-TMC435 (100 microcurie) 100 microgram; and Treatment B: single oral dose of simeprevir (TMC435) 150 mg followed 5 hours later by a single 10 minute IV infusion of [3H]-TMC435 (100 microcurie) 100 microgram. Treatments will be administered in two consecutive treatment periods, first Treatment A in Period 1, followed by Treatment B in Period 2; separated by a washout period (period when the participant is not receiving any study medication) of 7 to 14 days. The follow up will be for 5 to 7 days after end of Period 2. Blood samples will be collected for full plasma pharmacokinetics evaluations; along with urine and stool samples for analysis of total plasma radioactivity. Safety evaluations for adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, physical examination, liver volume determination, and specific toxicities will be monitored throughout the study. The total duration of the study will be approximately 42 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Simeprevir (TMC435) in people with Healthy Male Participants, run by Janssen R&D Ireland 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 28 Mar 2014. 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?

Absolute bioavailability of simeprevir (TMC435) (time frame: Pre-dose Day 1, post-dose Days 1-4). The study lists 11 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 28 Mar 2014.
