What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Last Data Point Greater Than Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) of Sorafenib in Plasma (AUC[0-tlast]) After Single Oral Dose

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero to the last data point greater than LLOQ after single dose of sorafenib were measured. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  2. Maximum Observed Drug Concentration After Single Dose Administration (Cmax) of Sorafenib in Plasma

    Maximum observed drug concentration after single dose administration of sorafenib in plasma was measured. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Maximum Observed Drug Concentration After Single Dose Administration Divided by Dose (Cmax/D) of Sorafenib in Plasma

    Maximum observed drug concentration after single dose administration divided by dose of sorafenib in plasma was measured. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity After Single Dose (AUC) of Sorafenib in Plasma

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero to infinity after single dose of sorafenib in plasma was measured. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity After Single Dose Divided by Dose (AUC/D) of Sorafenib in Plasma

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero to infinity after single dose divided by dose of sorafenib in plasma. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  4. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Last Data Point Divided by Dose (AUC[0-tlast]/D) of Sorafenib in Plasma

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero to last data point divided by dose of sorafenib in plasma was measured. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  5. Total Body Clearance of Sorafenib Calculated After Extravascular Administration (CL/F)

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  6. Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (tmax) of Sorafenib in Plasma

    Time to reach maximum concentration of sorafenib in plasma.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  7. Half-life Associated With the Terminal Slope (t1/2) of Sorafenib in Plasma

    Half-life associated with the terminal slope of sorafenib in plasma. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose

  8. Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs that started or worsened after first administration of study medication up to 30 days after end of treatment with study medication were considered to be treatment-emergent (TE). A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly and another medical important serious event as judged by investigator. SAEs that started or worsened after study drug treatment were recorded as TESAEs.

    Measured: From start of study treatment up to 30 days after the last sorafenib dose administration

  9. Number of Subjects With Various Acceptance Regarding the Taste and Palatability of the Tablet Formulations

    For each administration of sorafenib, subjects completed a questionnaire regarding the taste and palatability of the tablets for oral suspension or marketed tablets within 5 to 10 min after administration. Results from the questionnaire regarding the taste of tablet, aftertaste and overall impression of the two different tablet formulations were analysed. CD= Completely disagree; SD= Somewhat disagree; Ne= Neutral; SA= Somewhat agree; CA= Completely agree; Un= Unknown.

    Measured: Within 5 to 10 min of each administration of sorafenib

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sorafenib (BAY43-9006) Film-coated tablet and Sorafenib (BAY43-9006) Oral suspension in people with Biological Availability, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 14 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 Jun 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 Germany. 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?

Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Last Data Point Greater Than Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) of Sorafenib in Plasma (AUC[0-tlast]) After Single Oral Dose (time frame: Pre-dose (0 hour) to 120 hours post-dose). The study lists 2 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 Jun 2017.
