About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Single Sequence, Three Period, Drug-Drug Interaction Study To Examine The Pharmacokinetics Of Dutasteride And Tamsulosin And Their Interactions In Chinese Male Healthy Volunteers

This will be an open-label, three-period, fixed-sequence study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction, pharmacokinetics and safety of dutasteride and tamsulosin when administered alone and in-combination in Chinese healthy male volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This will be an open-label, three-period, fixed-sequence study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction, pharmacokinetics and safety of dutasteride and tamsulosin when administered alone and in-combination in Chinese healthy male volunteers. The study will last approximately eleven weeks. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken at pre-specified times. Safety will be assessed by measurement of concurrent medication,changes in clinical laboratory values, ECG, vital signs, and collection of adverse events.Approximately 24 healthy adult males will be enrolled such that approximately 18 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments.This will be an open label, single sequence, three-period study. Approximately 24 healthy male volunteers will be enrolled. At the first study period, the subjects will receive 0.5mg of dutasteride (Dut) as a single dose (SD) under fed conditions. Serum sampling will take place pre-dose and over the next 72 hours post dose (Per. A). After a 28-30 days washout, the subjects will be brought in and be given 0.2mg tamsulosin as Harnal D tablet for 7 days with the morning meal. Serum sampling for pharmacokinetics of tamsulosin will take place at day 1, day 2 and day 3 pre-dose and at days 4 for 24 hours (Per. B). On the next day (Day 5), the subjects will be given both 0.2mg tamsulosin Harnal D tablet and 0.5mg of dutasteride. Serum sampling will take place at Day 5 pre-dose and followed for 72 hours (Per. C) for both dutasteride and tamsulosin. Subjects will participate in a follow-up visit approximately 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dutasteride and Tamsulosin in people with Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in China.

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 12 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 19 Jun 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 China. 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?

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of dutasteride and tamsulosin when dosed alone and in combination (time frame: Pre-dose (within 10 minutes of the dutasteride administration), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 and 72 hours post dose.Pre-dose (within 10 minutes of tamsulosin administration) on Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 and pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6,). 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 19 Jun 2018.
