Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, sequential pharmacokinetic study in 16 healthy glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) normal Thai subjects. These 16 subjects have previously participated in either study:

  1. Open-Label Study to Evaluate Potential Pharmacokinetic Interaction of Orally Administered Primaquine (PQ) and Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine (DHA-PQP) in Healthy Adult Subjects (TMEC 12-004 (OxTREC ref. 58-11)) or study
  2. Comparison of the electrocardiographic effects in relation to Pharmacokinetic profile of chloroquine (CQ) and piperaquine (PQ) in healthy Thai subjects (TMEC 14-022 (OxTREC ref. 39-14)) or
  3. subjects who not previously participated in study "TMEC 12-004 (OxTREC ref. 58-11)" and study "TMEC 14-022 (OxTREC ref. 39-14)".

The study team will use the results of DHA-PQP regimen of the subjects from the above mentioned studies to compare with combination regimens in this study. This is to avoid unnecessary exposure of Subjects from (TMEC 12-004 (OxTREC ref. 58-11)) and (TMEC 14-022 (OxTREC ref. 39-14)) to the subjects. In addition, subjects have previously been tested for G6PD deficiency during screening process from the above mentioned study with result showed as normal. Therefore, a G6PD deficiency test is not needed. A G6PD deficiency test is needed for subjects who not previously participated in study subjects who not previously participated in study "TMEC 12-004 (OxTREC ref. 58-11)" and study "TMEC 14-022 (OxTREC ref. 39-14)" for this study.

Subjects will be admitted in the inpatient ward to receive single dose of 6 regimens (regimens 1-4 and 8-9) described below. Every subject will have at least 6 admissions in the hospital.

1: IVM (400 μg/kg) via 6 mg tabs, w-o** >4wks; 2: IVM (400 μg/kg)+PQ (15 mg): 2 tabs), w-o >4wks; 3: IVM (400 μg/kg)+DHA-PQP (40mg/320 mg): 3 tabs), w-o >8wks; 4: IVM (400 μg/kg)+DHA-PQP+PQ, w-o >8wks; 5*#: PQ (15 mg): 2 tabs, w-o > 2wks; 6#: DHA-PQP (40mg/320 mg): 3 tabs, w-o >8wks; 7*#: DHA-PQP (40mg/320 mg): 3 tabs +PQ (15 mg): 2 tabs, w-o >8wks; 8: ABZ (200 mg) 2 tabs, w-o >2wks; 9: IVM (400 μg/kg)+DHA-PQP (40mg/320 mg): 3 tabs+PQ (15 mg): 2 tabs +ABZ (400 mg): 1 tab, w-o >8wks

  • The subjects from TMEC-14-022 (OxTREC ref. 39-14) will have two additional admissions to receive two additional regimen PQ, and DHA-PQP with PQ

# Subjects who not previously participated in study "TMEC 12-004 (OxTREC ref. 58-11)" and study "TMEC 14-022 (OxTREC ref. 39-14)" will have three additional admissions to receive three additional regimens PQ, DHA-PQP, and DHA-PQP with PQ.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IVM, IVM and PQ, IVM and DHA-PQP, IVM and DHA-PQP and PQ, PQ and DHA-PQP and PQ and DHA-PQP in people with Drug Combination and Pharmacokinetics, run by University of Oxford at 1 site in Thailand.

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 21 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 May 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 Thailand. 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 (time frame: 1.5 year). 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 May 2017.
