What is being measured

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

  1. Sum of changes from baseline in the mean pupil diameters

    Measured: Baseline, 60 and 80 min after administration of phenylephrine (PE)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change from baseline in mean diameter of both pupils

    Measured: Baseline, 60 and 80 min after administration of phenylephrine (PE)

  2. Change from baseline in mean diameter of both pupils

    Measured: one week after cessation of drug

  3. Concentration of the analyte in plasma

    Measured: Up to 29 days after first administration of α-antagonists

  4. Number of participants with clinically significant changes in vital signs

    Measured: Up to 8 days after last pupillometry

  5. Number of participants with abnormal changes in clinical laboratory parameters

    Measured: Up to 8 days after last pupillometry

  6. Number of participants with Adverse Events

    Measured: Up to 8 days after last pupillometry

  7. Assessement of global tolerability by investigator on a 4 point scale

    Measured: 8 days after last pupillometry

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tamsulosin, Alfuzosin and Doxazosin 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 26 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 17 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?

Sum of changes from baseline in the mean pupil diameters (time frame: Baseline, 60 and 80 min after administration of phenylephrine (PE)). 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 17 Oct 2014.
