About this study

Official title: A Multiple Dose Study of Pramipexole With Increasing Doses (0.375 mg to 1.5 mg q.d.) of Oral Extended Release (ER) Tablet in Two-way Cross-over Comparison of 0.375 mg ER Tablet q.d. Versus 0.125 mg Immediate Release (IR) Tablet t.i.d. and 1.5 mg ER Tablet q.d. Versus 0.5 mg IR Tablet t.i.d. in Japanese Healthy Male Volunteers

The objectives of this study were to investigate relative BA at steady state and to investigate dose proportionality of pharmacokinetic parameters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pramipexole ER tablet and Pramipexole IR 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 18 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 15 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?

AUCτ,ss=AUC0-24,ss for ER (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval τ=24 hours) (time frame: up to day 5). 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 15 Oct 2014.
