  10. CL/F (apparent clearance of the analyte in plasma following extravascular administration)

    Measured: up to 8 days

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

    Measured: up to 8 days

  12. Aet1-t2 (amount of analyte that is eliminated in urine from the time point t1 to time point t2)

    Measured: up to 8 days

  13. fet1-t2 (fraction of analyte eliminated in urine from time point t1 to time point t2)

    Measured: up to 8 days

  14. CLR,t1-t2 (renal clearance of the analyte from the time point t1 until the time point t2)

    Measured: up to 8 days

  15. Aet1-t2,milk (amount of analyte in milk from the time point t1 to time point t2)

    Measured: up to 8 days

  16. fet1-t2,milk (fraction of analyte in milk from time point t1 to time point t2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bisacodyl and Sodium picosulfate 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 8 inclusion and 19 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 Aug 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?

Cmax (maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma) (time frame: up to 8 days). The study lists 20 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 Aug 2014.
