What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma total exposure (AUCτ,ss)

    Measured: up to 168 hours after each drug administration

  2. Urine total exposure (Aeτ,ss)

    Measured: up to 168 hours after each drug administration

  3. Plasma maximum exposure (Cmax,ss)

    Measured: up to 168 hours after each drug administration

  4. Plasma minimum exposure (Cmin,ss)

    Measured: up to 168 hours after each drug administration

  5. Plasma average concentration (Cavg)

    Measured: up to 168 hours after each drug administration

  6. Plasma peak to trough fluctuation (PTF)

    Measured: up to 168 hours after each drug administration

Secondary outcomes (12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Formulation B: Pramipexole Slow release (SR) tablet, Formulation C: Pramipexole Slow release tablet and Formulation D: Pramipexole Slow release tablet 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 20 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 10 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. 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?

Plasma total exposure (AUCτ,ss) (time frame: up to 168 hours after each drug administration). The study lists 6 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 10 Oct 2014.
