About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label, Multicenter, 3- Period, Fixed-Sequence Study to Investigate the Effect of Vemurafenib on the Pharmacokinetics of a Single Dose of Tizanidine (a CYP1A2 Substrate) in Patients With BRAFV600 Mutation-Positive Metastatic Malignancy

This open-label, multicenter, 3-period, fixed-sequence study will evaluate the effect of multiple oral doses of vemurafenib on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of tizanidine in participants with BRAFV600 mutation-positive metastatic malignancies. Participants will receive a single oral dose of tizanidine on Day 1, vemurafenib orally twice daily on Days 2 to 21, and tizanidine and vemurafenib on Day 22. Eligible participants will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764).

Being tested
Tizanidine, Vemurafenib
Medical subject headings
Melanoma, Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • TizanidineDrug

    Participants will receive tizanidine as single oral doses, 2 milligrams (mg) on Day 1 and repeated on Day 22, each following an overnight fast >/= 10 hours.

  • VemurafenibDrug

    Participants will receive vemurafenib as multiple oral doses, 960 mg twice daily on Days 2 to 22.

Receives: Drug: Tizanidine; Drug: Vemurafenib

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics of tizanidine under conditions of vemurafenib steady-state exposure: Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 hours post-dose

  2. Pharmacokinetics of tizanidine under conditions of vemurafenib steady-state exposure: Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 hours post-dose

  3. Pharmacokinetics of tizanidine under conditions of vemurafenib steady-state exposure: Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 hours post-dose

  4. Pharmacokinetics of tizanidine under conditions of vemurafenib steady-state exposure: Terminal half-life (t1/2)

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 hours post-dose

  5. Pharmacokinetics of tizanidine under conditions of vemurafenib steady-state exposure: Apparent clearance (CL/F)

    Measured: Pre-dose and up to 12 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety: Incidence, nature and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0

    Measured: Up to approximately 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tizanidine and Vemurafenib in people with Malignant Melanoma, Neoplasms, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 12 sites in 5 countries.

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 11 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 20 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Brazil, United States, South Korea, Canada, Cyprus. 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 of tizanidine under conditions of vemurafenib steady-state exposure: Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) (time frame: Pre-dose and up to 12 hours post-dose). The study lists 5 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 20 Mar 2017.
