What is being measured

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

  1. AUC0-inf (total area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  2. Cmax (Maximum drug plasma concentration)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  3. tmax (Time to achieve Cmax)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. AUC0-t (Total area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve from time of administration to the time of the last quantifiable drug concentration)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  2. λz (apparent terminal elimination rate constant)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  3. t1/2 (apparent terminal elimination half-life)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  4. MRTtot (Mean residence time)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  5. CL/f (Apparent clearance of the analyte in plasma at steady state after extravascular multiple dose administration)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  6. Vz/f (Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz following extravascular administration)

    Measured: up to 96 hours after drug administration

  7. Change from baseline in vital signs (pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure)

    Measured: Baseline, days 1-5 of each treatment period

  8. Change from baseline in laboratory parameters

    Measured: Baseline, days 1-2 and 5 of each treatment period

  9. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: up to 72 hours after day 5 of each treatment period

  10. Tolerability of the intramuscular injection

    Measured: before and 4 and 24 hours after application of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Meloxicam ampoule and Meloxicam tablet in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 4 inclusion and 24 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 8 Jul 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. 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?

AUC0-inf (total area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve) (time frame: up to 96 hours after drug administration). 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 8 Jul 2014.
