About this study

Official title: A 4-Part, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics of E2027 in Healthy Adult, Elderly and Japanese Subjects, and the Pharmacodynamics in Healthy Adult Subjects

This first-in-human study, designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single oral ascending doses of E2027, will be administered to healthy adult participants to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Thereafter, the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of single doses of E2027 on elevation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cyclic guanidine monophosphate (cGMP) in healthy adult participants will be evaluated across a broad dose range, to establish the PK/PD relationship.

Read the detailed description

The study will consist of 4 parts, Parts A, B, C, and D. Part A is a single ascending dose (SAD) clinical pharmacology for evaluation of safety, tolerability, and PK characteristics up to the MTD in healthy adult (greater than or equal to 18 years and less than or equal to 50 years old). In Part B, the PK and PD effects of E2027 on CSF cGMP are evaluated in healthy adult (greater than or equal to 18 years and less than or equal to 50 years old). Participants in 2nd cohort of Part B will participate in the evaluation of food effect in Treatment Period 2. In Part C, the design is similar to Part A. This healthy elderly cohort (greater than or equal to 65 years and less than or equal to 85 years old) will provide bridging PK, safety, and tolerability data on E2027 compared to younger healthy participants in Part A and Part B. Part D will be conducted in healthy Japanese adult participants (greater than or equal to 20 years and less than or equal to 50 years old) and is designed to bridge the PK, safety, and tolerability data of E2027 between Japanese and non-Japanese participants. All parts of the study will have 2 phases: the Prerandomization Phase and the Randomization Phase. The Prerandomization Phase will consist of a Screening Period and a Baseline Period during which each participant's study eligibility will be determined and baseline assessments will be conducted. The Randomization Phase will consist of the Treatment Period and a Follow-Up Period. During the Treatment Period, participants will be randomized to receive a single oral dose of either E2027 or placebo matching E2027.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing E2027 in people with Healthy Participants, run by Eisai Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 30 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 8 Mar 2017. 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 States. 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?

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?

Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: From screening up to 10 days). The study lists 21 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 8 Mar 2017.
