What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: up to 36 hours after first drug administration

  2. Area under the plasma concentration versus time data pairs, with extrapolation to infinity (AUDC)

    Measured: up to 36 hours after first drug administration

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time data pairs at steady state (AUDss)

    Measured: up to 12 hours after last administration of study drug

  4. Percent peak-to-trough fluctuation (%PTF)

    Measured: up to 12 hours after last administration of study drug

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Time to maximum concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: up to 36 hours after first drug administration

  2. Apparent terminal half-life (t1/2.z)

    Measured: up to 36 hours after first drug administration

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time data pairs [AUD(0-tlast)], also indicated by AUD, where tlast is the time of the last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: up to 36 hours after first drug administration

  4. Ratio of Cmax and AUDC (Cmax/AUDC)

    Measured: up to 36 hours after first drug administration

  5. Total mean time in the system (MTvsys)

    Measured: up to 36 hours after first drug administration

  6. Maximum concentration at steady state (Cmax,ss)

    Measured: up to 12 hours after last administration of study drug

  7. Minimum concentration at steady state (Cmin,ss)

    Measured: up to 12 hours after last administration of study drug

  8. Plateau time (T75%Cmax)

    Measured: up to 12 hours after last administration of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing anhydrous theophylline, 350 mg and anhydrous theophylline, 300 mg 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 10 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 9 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?

Maximum concentration (Cmax) (time frame: up to 36 hours after first drug administration). The study lists 4 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 9 Jul 2014.
