Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be included in this study:
  • Healthy male and female subjects (aged 18 to 55 years inclusive, at the time of informed consent)
  • Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18 kg/m2 and ≤ 32 kg/m2 at Screening
  • Platelet count between 120 x 109/L and 300 x 109/L inclusive at Screening, Baseline Period 1, or Baseline Period 3

  • All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (i.e., bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before dosing).
  • Females of childbearing potential must not have had unprotected sexual intercourse within 30 days before study entry and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (e.g., total abstinence, a nonhormonal-based intrauterine device, a double barrier method [such as condom plus spermicide or diaphragm plus spermicide], non-estrogen-based hormonal therapy, progesterone-only contraceptive implant/injection, or have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. If currently abstinent, the subject must agree to use a double barrier method as described above if she becomes sexually active during the study period or for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. The use of estrogen-based hormonal contraceptives is not allowed because of a potential increase in the risk of venous thrombosis.
  • All females who are of reproductive potential and have been using estrogen-containing oral contraceptives must have discontinued the contraceptive product for at least 30 days before dosing, throughout the entire study period, and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation, and have been using use the aforementioned methods.
  • Male subjects must have had a successful vasectomy (confirmed azoospermia) or they and their female partners must meet the criteria above (i.e., not of childbearing potential or practicing highly effective contraception throughout the study period and for 90 days after study drug discontinuation). No sperm donation is allowed during the study period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
  • Provide written informed consent
  • Willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from this study:
  • Evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular, hepatic, gastrointestinal, renal, respiratory, endocrine, hematologic, neurologic, or psychiatric disease or abnormalities or a known history of any gastrointestinal surgery that could impact the PK of study drug
  • Agents associated with thrombotic events (including oral contraceptives) are required to be discontinued 30 days prior to first study drug administration

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Three-period, Partial-replicate Design Study to Evaluate the Inter- and Intrasubject Variability of the Avatrombopag To-be-marketed Formulation Administered as Single Doses of 40 mg to Healthy Subjects Receiving a Low-fat Meal

A Randomized, Open-label, Three-period, Partial-replicate Design Study to Evaluate the Inter- and Intrasubject variability of the Avatrombopag To-be-marketed Formulation Administered as Single Doses of 40 mg (all doses are expressed as avatrombopag, the amount of free base) to healthy subjects Receiving a low-fat Meal.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Avatrombopag maleate 40 mgDrug

    Also called E5501

    Avatrombopag maleate 40 mg (2 x 20 mg tablets- all doses are expressed as avatrombopag, the amount of free base) given with 240 mL water in three single oral doses, one during each of three treatment periods. Participants randomized to one of three treatment sequences:

    • Fed, Fed, Fasted; or
    • Fed, Fasted, Fed; or
    • Fasted, Fed, Fed

    During the Fasted period, participants must have fasted for at least a 10-hour overnight fast and to refrain from eating for 4 hours.

    During the Fed period, participants were allowed approximately 30 minutes to eat a low-fat breakfast and required to take the drug within 15 minutes of completion of breakfast.

    Randomization Phase consists of three single-dose treatment periods:

    Treatment Period 1 and 2 separated by a 7-day washout interval. Treatment Period 2 and 3 separated by a 28-day washout interval. Treatment period 3 and the Follow-up/ Termination Visit will be separated by a 30-day (+1 day) washout interval.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the plasma concentration-time course profile From Time = 0 to time extrapolated to infinity (AUC [0-inf])

    AUC (0 - ∞)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞).

    Measured: predose (-60 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: predose (-60 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Avatrombopag maleate 40 mg in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Eisai 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 12 inclusion and 21 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 31 Oct 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?

Area under the plasma concentration-time course profile From Time = 0 to time extrapolated to infinity (AUC [0-inf]) (time frame: predose (-60 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose). 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 31 Oct 2013.
