What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Bioequivalence of the Free Base Variant of Selumetinib (Treatment B) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib Cmax]
The bioequivalence of the free base variant of selumetinib (Treatment B) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).
Bioequivalence of the Free Base Variant of Selumetinib (Treatment B) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC]
The bioequivalence of the free base variant of selumetinib (Treatment B) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC) of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).
Bioequivalence of the Free Base Variant of Selumetinib (Treatment B) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC(0-t)]
The bioequivalence of the free base variant of selumetinib (Treatment B) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the AUC from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC[0-t]) of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).
Secondary outcomes (5)
Relative Bioavailability of the TPGS Capsule Variant (Treatment C) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib Cmax]
The relative bioavailability of the TPGS capsule variant of selumetinib (Treatment C) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the Cmax of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).
Relative Bioavailability of the TPGS Capsule Variant (Treatment C) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC]
The relative bioavailability of the TPGS capsules variant of selumetinib (Treatment C) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the AUC of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).
Relative Bioavailability of the TPGS Capsule Variant (Treatment C) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib AUC(0-t)]
The relative bioavailability of the TPGS capsule variant of selumetinib (Treatment C) as compared to the blue reference capsule (Treatment A) was evaluated by comparing the AUC[0-t] of selumetinib in healthy volunteers.
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).
The PK of the Metabolite N-desmethyl Selumetinib by Assessment of Cmax
The PK of the metabolite N-desmethyl selumetinib was evaluated by assessing the Cmax of the metabolite in healthy volunteers after oral administration of single doses of the blue reference capsule (Treatment A), the free base variant capsule (Treatment B) and the TPGS variant capsule (Treatment C).
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).
The PK of N-desmethyl Selumetinib by Assessment of the AUC(0-t)
The PK of the metabolite N-desmethyl selumetinib was evaluated by assessing the AUC(0-t) of the metabolite in healthy volunteers after oral administration of single doses of the blue reference capsule (Treatment A), the free base variant capsule (Treatment B) and the TPGS variant capsule (Treatment C).
Measured: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing selumetinib 75mg single dose in people with Healthy Volunteers Bioequivalence or Bioavailability Study, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United Kingdom.
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 0 inclusion and 1 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 31 Aug 2016. 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 United Kingdom. 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 31 Aug 2016). 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?
Bioequivalence of the Free Base Variant of Selumetinib (Treatment B) Compared to the Blue Reference Capsule (Treatment A) [Selumetinib Cmax] (time frame: Blood samples were collected pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).). The study lists 3 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 31 Aug 2016.
