About this study

Official title: Single-dose and Steady-state Pharmacokinetics of BIA 9-1067 and Its Metabolites in Healthy Male Elderly Subjects Compared With Those in Healthy Male Young Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of age on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BIA 9-1067 and its metabolites.

Read the detailed description

Methodology:

Single-centre, open-label, parallel group, non-randomised multiple-dose 7-day study in 12 healthy elderly and 12 healthy younger male subjects.

Duration of treatment:

Each subject participated in the study for approximately 6 weeks. Participation included a screening evaluation within 28 days before inpatient period, a 12 day inpatient period and an end of study visit (ESV) 7 to 10 days after the discharge from the Unit.

The study design followed the recommendations of the CPMP/ICH/379/95 (ICH Topic E7) Note for Guidance on Studies in Support of Special Populations: Geriatrics, namely in the inclusion of subjects aged 65 years or older and contemplating single-dose and steady-state PK profiles. As the primary endpoint of the study was to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of BIA 9-1067 and its metabolites in different parallel groups, there was no need to implement blinding procedures or to include a control group. Consequently, the trial was an open label study. Healthy subjects rather than patients with Parkinson's disease have been chosen as the study population, due to the lack of over-toxicity of the drug and an acceptable risk-benefit ratio. This allowed for a better interpretation of the study results, as there were no confounding factors resulting from changes in disease state and or concomitant medications.

The subjects were given a screening number after signing the informed consent by chronological order of inclusion in each group (young/elderly).

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax - Maximum Plasma Concentration

    Cmax (BIA 9-1067) - maximum plasma concentration of BIA 9-1067

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  2. Tmax - Time to Reach Cmax

    Tmax - Time to reach maximum plasma concentration of BIA 9-1067

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  3. AUC0-t - Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Last Observed Concentration

    AUC0-t - Area under the plasma concentration-time curve of BIA 9-1067 from time 0 to last observed concentration

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 9-1067 in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. 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 9 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 14 Jan 2015. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jan 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cmax - Maximum Plasma Concentration (time frame: Day 1 and Day 7). 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 14 Jan 2015.
