About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single-dose, Dose Escalation Study (Phase I) to Evaluate the Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Belviq in Adult Korean Volunteers

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, dose escalation study (Phase I) to evaluate the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Belviq in adult Korean volunteers.

Read the detailed description

The volunteers are screened through medical history, physical exam, laboratory tests etc. within 4 weeks (-28d~-2d) prior to the day scheduled for taking the investigational product (1d). The final subjects determined eligible for this clinical trial through screening tests are randomized to the dose groups with Belviq 10 mg and 20 mg. Twelve subjects are assigned to each group (9 subjects to study drug and 3 subjects to placebo), and the study drug or placebo are administered to the corresponding administration group. The subjects are discharged on the morning of 4d after completing the set study schedule at 72 hours after administration. The subjects then visit for the final tests on the last out-patient visiting day. Belviq is progressed sequentially from the low-dose group to the high-dose group.

The blood sampling time for the pharmacokinetic evaluation is as follows. Blood sampling for pharmacokinetic evaluation

: Before administration(0), and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h (17 times) after medication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Belviq 10mg and Belviq 20mg in people with Healthy, run by IlDong Pharmaceutical Co Ltd at 1 site in South Korea.

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 18 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 14 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 South Korea. 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?

Vital signs (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay and post study visit, an expected average of 10 days). The study lists 6 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 Oct 2013.
