About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Single and Multiple Doses (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg) of Rasagiline Administered to Healthy Japanese and Caucasian Subjects

This study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of rasagiline in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects after single and multiple doses of rasagiline.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects after administration of single and multiple doses of rasagiline. All subjects will have a screening visit within 28 days of their check-in day (day -1) to confirm eligibility. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the investigational center on study day -1 and their eligibility to participate in the study confirmed. On the morning of day 1, subjects will be randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of 0.5, 1, or 2 mg of rasagiline or placebo at the same time every morning after an overnight fast (of at least 10 hours) on days 1 through 10. Venous blood samples (4 mL each) for pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected at specified time points through 24 hours after study drug administration on day 1 and through 48 hours after study drug administration on day 10. The duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 6 weeks.

    AUC 0-t will be calculated after administration of a single dose of rasagiline.

    Measured: At Baseline to Day 1

  4. AUC from time 0 to infinity (AUC∞)

    AUC∞ will be calculated after administration of a single dose of rasagiline.

    Measured: At Baseline to Day 1

    Measured: At Baseline to Day 10

  7. Associated elimination half life (t½)

    Measured: At Baseline to Day 10

  8. AUC over the dosing interval at steady state (AUCτ)

    Measured: At Baseline to Day 10

  9. Minimum measured plasma concentration at steady state by inspection (Cmin,ss)

    minimum measured plasma concentration at steady state by inspection (Cmin,ss) (multiple dose [predose concentrations on days 8 and 9]))

    Measured: From Baseline to Day 10

  10. Average plasma concentration at steady state (Cav,ss)

    The average plasma concentration at steady state (Cav,ss) is obtained by the calculation:

    AUCτ/τ, where tau is the dosing interval

    Measured: From Baseline to Day 10

    Measured: From Baseline to Day 10

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Concentrations of 1-aminoindan

    The concentrations of rasagiline major metabolite, 1-aminoindan, in plasma will be calculated, if possible.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 11

  2. Peripheral monoamine oxidase B (MAOB)

    The pharmacodynamics of rasagiline will be assessed by measuring the extent of peripheral monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) inhibition after multiple-dose administration of rasagiline, calculated as the percentage of the baseline platelet MAO-B activity.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 11

  3. Occurrence of Adverse Events

    Adverse events, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs measurements, physical examinations, 12- lead electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, and use of concomitant medications will be assessed throughout the study.

    Measured: From informed consent signing to end of study (Day 12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rasagiline in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D, 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 14 inclusion and 23 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 Dec 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Cmax (time frame: At Baseline through Day 10). The study lists 14 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 Dec 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
