About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, 4-Period, 5-Treatment Crossover Study to Assess the Relative Bioavailability of 4 New Abiraterone Acetate Tablet Formulations With Respect to the Current Commercial Abiraterone Acetate Tablet Under Fasted Conditions in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of 4 new formulations of abiraterone acetate compared to the current commercial formulation.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (individuals will be assigned by chance to study treatments), open-label (individuals will know the identity of study treatments), 4-period, 5-treatment crossover study in order to evaluate the relative bioavailability of 4 new formulations of abiraterone acetate compared to the current commercial formulation. Approximately 32 healthy adult males will participate. The total study length is up to 68 days. This study will consist of a screening phase followed by an open-label treatment phase consisting of 4 single-dose treatment periods separated by a washout period of at least 7 days between dosing. Individuals will be randomly assigned to 1 of 8 treatment sequences. A single dose of 1000 mg abiraterone acetate will be given in each treatment period under fasted conditions. Participants will be confined to the study center from Day -1 of each treatment period until completion of the 96-hour blood sample collection on Day 5 of each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur between 5 to 7 days after the last study procedure. Serial pharmacokinetic (study of what the body does to a drug) samples will be collected during the open-label treatment phase as detailed in the protocol. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treatment A, Treatment B and Treatment C in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC 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 6 inclusion and 14 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 2 Dec 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 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?

Maximum plasma concentration of abiraterone (time frame: Periods 1-4 pharmacokinetic profile from Day 1 predose and postdose at 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h). 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 2 Dec 2014.
