About this study

Official title: Single-dose Pharmacokinetics and Relative Bioavailability of an Oral Suspension and Two Tablet Formulations of BIA 2-093 in Healthy Volunteers

Single centre, open-label, randomised, three-way crossover study in 18 healthy subjects (9 males and 9 females). The study consisted of three consecutive single-dose treatment periods separated by a washout period of 7 days or more. On each treatment period, the volunteers received a single dose of BIA 2-093 800 mg, orally.

Read the detailed description

Sample size (planned and analyzed): It was planned to have at least 16 healthy subjects completed and evaluable. Taking into account the potential occurrence of dropouts, two additional subjects were to be recruited and entered the study. Therefore, a total of 18 subjects were enrolled.

Diagnosis and main selection criteria: Healthy male or female volunteers aged between 18 and 45 years, with body mass index between 19 and 28 kg/m2, non-smokers or smoking less than 10 cigarettes or equivalent per day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax - the Maximum Plasma Concentration

    Cmax - the maximum plasma concentration of BIA 2-093 metabolite: BIA 2-005

    Measured: Blood samples for PK assays: pre-dose, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose

  2. Tmax - the Time of Occurrence of Cmax

    Tmax - the Time of Occurrence of maximum plasma concentration of BIA 2-093 metabolite: BIA 2-005

    Measured: Blood samples for PK assays: pre-dose, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose

  3. AUC0-t - the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Sampling Time

    AUC0-t - the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Sampling Time of BIA 2-093 metabolite: BIA 2-005

    Measured: Blood samples for PK assays: pre-dose, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose

  4. AUC0-∞ - the Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity

    AUC0-∞ - the Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity of BIA 2-093 metabolite: BIA 2-005

    Measured: Blood samples for PK assays: pre-dose, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 2-093 in people with Epilepsy, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. at 1 site in Portugal.

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 10 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 1 Jan 2015. 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 Portugal. 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. 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 1 Jan 2015). 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?

Cmax - the Maximum Plasma Concentration (time frame: Blood samples for PK assays: pre-dose, 30, 60 and 90 minutes, and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose). The study lists 4 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 1 Jan 2015.
