Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 50 years
  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • All participants in the study should be healthy, range from 21 to 50 years of age and be within ± 20 % of their normal weight (Broca -Index)
  • Subsequently each subject will have his medical history taken and will receive a complete medical examination (incl. blood pressure and pulse rate measurements) as well as a 12-lead ECG. Haematological, hepatic and renal function tests will be carried out in the laboratory (Bioscientia Ingelheim, Germany). The subjects will fast for 12 hours before collection of specimens for all laboratory evaluations. The above mentioned examinations will be performed within 14 days before the first administration of the test substance
  • In accordance with good clinical practice (GCP) and the local legislation all volunteers will have given their written informed consent prior to admission to the study

Who cannot join

  • Any finding of the medical examination (including blood pressure, pulse rate and ECG) deviating from normal and of clinical relevance
  • Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders
  • Surgery of the gastro-intestinal tract (except appendectomy)
  • Diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders
  • History of orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts
  • Chronic or relevant acute infections
Show all 17Show fewer
  • History of allergy/hypersensitivity (including drug allergy) which is deemed relevant to the trial as judged by the investigator
  • Intake of drugs with a long half-life (> 24 hours) within at least one month or less than ten half-lives of the respective drug before enrolment in the study
  • Use of any drugs which might influence the results of the trial (≤ one week prior to administration or during the trial)
  • Participation in another trial with an investigational drug (≤ two months prior to administration or during the trial
  • Smoker (> 10 cigarettes or > 3 cigars or > 3 pipes/day)
  • Inability to refrain from smoking on trial days
  • Alcohol abuse (> 60 g/day)
  • Drug abuse
  • Blood donation (≥ 100 mL within four weeks prior to administration or during the trial)
  • Excessive physical activities (within the last week before the study)
  • Any laboratory value outside the reference range of clinical relevance

  5. Changes in rhinoscopy assessment

    Measured: up to 8 days after drug administration

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Maximum measured concentration in plasma (Cmax)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  2. Time from dosing to the maximum concentration in plasma (tmax)

  3. Area under the concentration-time curve in plasma (AUC)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  4. Terminal rate constant of in plasma (λz)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  5. Apparent terminal half-life in plasma (t1/2)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  6. Total mean residence time in the body (MRTtot)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  7. Total clearance in plasma after extravascular administration (CL/F)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  8. Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase (Vz/F)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  9. Amount excreted into urine (Ae)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  10. Renal clearance (CLR)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

  11. Assessment of dose-proportionality of epinastine nasal

    based on AUC and Cmax

    Measured: up to 48 hours after drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Epinastine nasal 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 3 inclusion and 17 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 Oct 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. 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?

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?

Number of patients with clinically relevant findings in vital signs (time frame: up to 8 days after drug administration). The study lists 5 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 Oct 2014.
