About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Single and Multiple Doses of TAS-205 in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic of TAS-205 in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Read the detailed description

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood, affecting approximately 1 in every 3500 lives male births. DMD patients suffer from a relentless decline in muscle strength that impairs the ability of walking and breathing, resulting in their lives with wheelchairs and loss of upper body function. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic of TAS-205 after single and multiple doses in DMD patients. It is also evaluated if TAS-205 affects the urinary excretion of pharmacodynamic (PD) marker in DMD patients.

Being tested
TAS-205, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TAS-205Drug

    • Single-dose phase: 3 steps (low dose, middle dose or high dose group), 5 patients/step, single oral administration after meals
    • Multiple-dose phase: 3 steps (low dose, middle dose or high dose group), 5 patients/step (the same patients between single- and multiple-dose phases), repeated oral administration for 7 days, BID after meals
  • PlaceboDrug

    • Single-dose phase: 3steps (low dose, middle dose or high dose group), 2 patients/step, single oral administration after meals
    • Multiple-dose phase: 3 steps (low dose, middle dose or high dose group), 2 patients/step (the same patients between single- and multiple-dose phases), repeated oral administration for 7 days, BID after meals

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Source Vocabulary Name for Table Default: CTCAE (4.03)

    Measured: From the first administration day to the end of the observation period (ie. single-dose phase: 8 days, multiple-doses phase: 14 days)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of TAS-205

    Due to inspection missing, some data were not analyzed.

    Measured: Single-dose phase: immediately before dosing, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 hours post-dose, Multiple-dose phase: Days 1 and 7, immediately before morning dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours post-dose and Day 4, immediately before morning dose.

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of TAS-205

    Due to inspection missing, some data were not analyzed.

    Measured: Administration period (ie. single-dose phase: from single administration day to 48 hours after the administration, multiple-dose phase: from the first administration day to 8 hours after the last administration)

  3. The Urinary Excretion of PD Marker

    Ratio of prostaglandin E2 metabolite / creatinine Due to inspection missing, some data were not analyzed.

    Measured: Single-dose: Day -1 before administration, 0-24 hr post-dose, and 24-48 hr post-dose, Multiple-doses: Day -1 before administration, 0 hr after administration on Day 1 and 4 to the following day (Day 2 and 5), and 0-24 hr after administration on Day 7.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TAS-205 in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, run by Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 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 4 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence of Adverse Events (time frame: From the first administration day to the end of the observation period (ie. single-dose phase: 8 days, multiple-doses phase: 14 days)). 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 4 Jun 2021.
