Tolerability and Potential ECG Effects After a Single Oral Dose of Pentoxyverine Citrate in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers
A Phase 1 study testing pentoxyverine citrate in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.
Trial summary
The primary objective of this trial was to investigate the potential effects of pentoxyverine on the ECGs of healthy subjects. A secondary objective was the exploration of safety and tolerability. Pharmacokinetics (PK) were only to be investigated if necessary for the explanation of ECG effects. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase I, Single-dose, Two-way Crossover Study to Investigate Tolerability and Potential ECG Effects After a Single Oral Dose of 192 mg Pentoxyverine Citrate (Corresponding to 121.5 mg Pentoxyverine Base) in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers (Randomised, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled)
The primary objective of this trial was to investigate the potential effects of pentoxyverine on the ECGs of healthy subjects. A secondary objective was the exploration of safety and tolerability. Pharmacokinetics (PK) were only to be investigated if necessary for the explanation of ECG effects.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing pentoxyverine citrate 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 21 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?
changes from baseline in QTc interval (time frame: up to 24 hours). 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; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
