About this study

Official title: A Randomized Placebo Controlled Double Blind Two Period Cross-Over Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Oral Dosages of TRIA-662 (A Hypolipidemic Agent) in Healthy Volunteers

The primary objective of the study is to assess the blood profile of the N-methylnicotinamide (MNA) following administration of TRIA-662 (N-methylnicotinamide Chloride). The secondary objectives of the study are to characterize the safety and tolerability of TRIA-662 and to assess any potential gender-related differences in the plasma profile of MNA. Changes in serum lipid parameters with particular reference to triglycerides, lipoprotein lipase, and blood pressure effects will also be noted.

Read the detailed description

A total of 20 subjects volunteers (10 male and 10 female) will receive the following treatments administered in a randomized fashion with 2 embedded placebo dosages in each group (8 active Males and 8 active females with 2 placebo males and females):

  1. DRUG (Low Dose): Single therapeutic dose of MNA administered as a 90 mg oral dose
  2. DRUG (High Dose): Single therapeutic dose of MNA administered as a 270 mg oral dose
  3. PLACEBO: Placebo for MNA administered as an identically appearing oral dose Each treatment period will consist of a 3-day two-night confinement cycle with admission on day 1, treatment on day 1 with a single dose of active or placebo with discharge 24 hours following the last assessment the next morning. A washout period of 5 days will separate each treatment period. Standard biochemical and clinical baseline medical background and physical examination will occur at screening and at Day -1 to assess/confirm entry criteria. During each treatment period, serial plasma samples (n=12) for MNA assay will be collected on the treatment day. Safety assessments, including vitals signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, and oral body temperature), will be performed at screening, at baseline, and at 4 times throughout each treatment period. Physical examinations and standard clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis) will be obtained at screening, and at admission for each treatment period, and prior to subject's final discharge from the study. The Lunch meals on the dosing day will be identical in each subject on each occasion.

The pharmacokinetic and safety assessments will be performed at specified times prior to and after study MNA administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. MNA Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax).

    5 mL venous blood samples will be collected by venipuncture at the specified times. These blood samples will be properly processed and analyzed for concentration of MNA and metabolites. The concentration data will undergo typical pharmacokinetic data analysis to arrive at the primary endpoints.

    Measured: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours after dose.

  2. Time to plasma MNA Cmax

    5 mL venous blood samples will be collected by venipuncture at the specified times. These blood samples will be properly processed and analyzed for concentration of MNA and metabolites. The concentration data will undergo typical pharmacokinetic data analysis to arrive at the primary endpoints.

    Measured: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours after dose.

  3. Area under the plasma MNA concentration curve

    5 mL venous blood samples will be collected by venipuncture at the specified times. These blood samples will be properly processed and analyzed for concentration of MNA and metabolites. The concentration data will undergo typical pharmacokinetic data analysis to arrive at the primary endpoints.

    Measured: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours after dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TRIA-662 in people with Healthy, run by Cortria Corporation.

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 16 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 26 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

MNA Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax). (time frame: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours after dose.). The study lists 3 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 26 Jul 2016.
