What is being measured

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

  1. Cmax - Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of 9-1067

    Cmax - maximum observed plasma concentration of 9-1067.

    Measured: before OPC dosing, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48h post-OPC dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tmax - Time of Occurrence of Cmax of 9-1067

    tmax - time of occurrence of Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of 9-1067

    Measured: before OPC dosing, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48h post-OPC dose

  2. AUC0-t - Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve Calculated Between Time of Administration and Time t

    Measured: before OPC dosing, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48h post-OPC dose

  3. AUC0-∞ - Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve Extrapolated to Infinity

    AUC0-∞ - Area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity.

    Measured: before OPC dosing, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48h post-OPC dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIA 9-1067 in people with Epilepsy, run by Bial - Portela C S.A..

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 8 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 21 Aug 2015. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Aug 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 - Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of 9-1067 (time frame: before OPC dosing, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48h post-OPC dose). 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 21 Aug 2015.
