What is being measured

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

  1. AUC0-∞ (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  2. Cmax (maximum concentration of the analyte in plasma)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. AUC0-tz (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable data point)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  2. tmax (time from dosing to the maximum concentration of the analyte in plasma)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  3. λz (terminal rate constant in plasma)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  4. t1/2 (terminal half-life of the analyte in plasma)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  5. MRTpo (mean residence time of the analyte in the body after p.o. (oral) administration)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  6. CL/F (apparent clearance of the analyte in the plasma after extravascular administration)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  7. Vz/F (apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz following an extravascular dose)

    Measured: up to 30 hours after each drug administration

  8. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: up to 40 days

  9. Number of patients with abnormal changes in laboratory parameters

    Measured: up to 40 days

  10. Number of patients with clinically significant changes in vital signs (BP (Blood pressure), PR (Pulse rate))

    Measured: up to 40 days

  11. Assessment of tolerability by investigator on a 4-point scale

    Measured: within 8 days after last administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ambroxol hydrochloride - soft pastille, Ambroxol hydrochloride - syrup - low dose and Ambroxol hydrochloride - syrup - high dose 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 6 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 18 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-∞ (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity) (time frame: up to 30 hours after each drug administration). The study lists 2 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 18 Jul 2014.
