About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Sequential-Panel, Ascending Single- and Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TAK-438 in Healthy Western Male Subjects, Preliminary Food Effect Analysis, and an Ethnic Comparison With Japanese Subjects

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TAK-438 following single or multiple doses of TAK-438 in healthy Western men, to investigate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of TAK-438, and to compare the TAK-438 pharmacokinetics of Western with Japanese men.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-438. TAK-438 is being tested to find a safe and well-tolerated dose. This study looked at the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties (how the drug moves throughout the body) of the drug and safety (lab results and side effects) in people who took TAK-438.

This study was designed to consist of 4 sequential substudies: a single rising dose study (Cohorts 1 to 7), a food-effect study (Cohort 8), a multiple rising dose study (Cohorts 9 to 11), and a Japanese bridging study (Cohort 12). However, the protocol was halted during the food effect study (Cohort 8) following the discovery of previously unidentified metabolites and as a result, the multiple rising dose (Cohorts 9-11) and ethnicity (Cohort 12) studies were not carried out.

The study population for each of Cohorts 1 to 7 consisted of 9 subjects; with 6 subjects randomized to receive a single dose of TAK-438, and 3 subjects to receive placebo. Subjects in Cohorts 1 to 7 received a single dose of study drug after a 10-hour fast. The starting dose was 1 mg followed by administrations of 5, 10, 20, 15, 40, and 30 mg.

In Cohort 8 the plan was to assign 12 participants in a 2-sequence, 2-period crossover design. Six participants were to receive a single dose of TAK-438 on Day 1, in the fasted state, followed by a second single dose of TAK-438 on Day 15 in the alternative fed state. The other 6 participants were to receive the study drug like-wise but in the fed then fasted state.

To investigate the effect of multiple dosing, a further 3 cohorts (Cohorts 9-11), each comprising 12 participants were to be introduced to the protocol following completion of the single rising dose study. A final cohort, Cohort 12, consisting of 24 Western participants and 24 Japanese participants was to be used to assess the effect of TAK-438 and esomeprazole on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pH of the stomach between these 2 ethnic groups.

This single-centre trial was conducted in the United Kingdom.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TAK-438 and Esomeprazole in people with Dose Finding Study, run by Takeda.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 May 2014. 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?

AUC(0-tlqc): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration for TAK-438 and TAK-438 metabolites M-I and M-II (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 27 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 19 May 2014.
