    Blood pressure to be measured using an automatic oscillometric device. Measurements to be taken with the subject in the supine position after a resting period of at least 5 min. The dominant (writing) arm will be used for all measurements. Measurements to be taken at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-dose.

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Change in supine diastolic blood pressure from baseline up to the end of study

    Blood pressure to be measured using an automatic oscillometric device. Measurements to be taken with the subject in the supine position after a resting period of at least 5 min. The dominant (writing) arm will be used for all measurements. Measurements to be taken at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-dose.

  4. Change in body weight from baseline up to the end of study

    Body weight will be measured using the same weighing scale for all subjects and throughout the study. The weighing scale should have a precision of at least 0.5 kg.

    Measured: 72 hours

  5. Change in PQ Interval from baseline up to the end of study

    A standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) will be recorded in supine position after a 5-min rest period. The PQ interval is the time interval from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex. Measurements to be taken at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose.

    Measured: 72 hours

    Measured: 72 hours

  7. Change in QT Interval from baseline up to the end of study

    A standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) will be recorded in supine position after a 5-min rest period. The QT interval is the time interval from beginning of the Q wave until end of the T wave. Measurements to be taken at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of ACT-246475

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis taken immediately prior to dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, and 72 hours, after dosing. Cmax calculated on the basis of the blood sampling time points.

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Time to reach maximum plasma concentration (tmax) of ACT-246475

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis taken immediately prior to dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, and 72 hours, after dosing. tmax calculated on the basis of the blood sampling time points.

    Measured: 72 hours

  3. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to time t of the last measured concentration (AUC0-t) of ACT-246475

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis taken immediately prior to dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, and 72 hours, after dosing. AUC0-t calculated on the basis of the blood sampling time points, according to the linear trapezoidal rule using the measured concentration-time values above the limit of quantification.

AUC0-∞ was calculated by combining AUC0-t and AUCextra. AUCextra is an extrapolated value obtained by Ct/λz, where Ct is the last plasma concentration measured above the limit of quantification and λz represents the terminal elimination rate constant determined by log-linear regression analysis of the measured plasma concentrations in the terminal elimination phase.

    Measured: 72 hours

  5. Terminal half-life (t1/2) of ACT-246475

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis taken immediately prior to dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, and 72 hours, after dosing. t1/2 calculated on the basis of the blood sampling time points.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 5 mg ACT-281959 prodrug formulation I (Group A), 20 mg ACT-281959 prodrug formulation I (Group B) and ACT-281959 prodrug formulation I (Groups C to G doses to be defined) in people with Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, run by Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd. at 1 site in France.

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 11 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 10 Jul 2018. 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 France. 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?

Change in supine systolic blood pressure from baseline up to the end of study (time frame: 72 hours). The study lists 7 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 10 Jul 2018.
