About this study

Official title: Single-dose and Steady-state Pharmacokinetics of BIA 2-093 and Its Metabolites in Healthy Elderly Subjects Compared With Those in Healthy Young Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of age on the pharmacokinetic profile of BIA 2-093 and its active metabolites.

Read the detailed description

This was a single-centre, open-label, parallel group, non-randomised study with a single-dose phase (Phase A) followed by a multiple-dose phase (Phase B), in 12 healthy elderly and 12 healthy young subjects. During the whole study, subjects were to receive a single 600 mg dose of BIA 2-093 (Phase A) followed by 600 mg BIA 2-093 once daily for 8 days in Phase B. Phase B was to begun 96 hours post-Phase A dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 2-093 in people with Epilepsy, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. at 1 site in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 20 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 2017. 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 Germany. 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 31 Dec 2014). 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?

Maximum Drug Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Day 1 at pre-dose, and ½, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours post-dose From Day 5 to Day 11 inclusive, before the daily dose (for trough levels). On Day 12, pre-dose, and ½, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours p). 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 2017.
