About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Parallel Group Trial to Compare the Effect of Three Doses of Meloxicam Tablets (7.5, 15 and 30 mg) With Placebo on Bleeding Time in Healthy Subjects; With Extended-release Indomethacin Capsules 75 mg (Open-label) as an Active Control to Assess Trial Sensitivity.

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of meloxicam tablets (7.5, 15 mg and 30 mg) with meloxicam placebo. Extended-release indomethacin capsules (75 mg) was an active control to assess trial sensitivity on bleeding time in healthy subjects. The secondary aim of this study was to assess effects of treatment on other platelet function and coagulation parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Meloxicam - low, Meloxicam - medium and Meloxicam - high 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 5 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 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Change from baseline in bleeding time (time frame: up to 6 hours post-dose at day 8). 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.
