About this study

Official title: Bioequivalence Study of Dutasteride Capsules-An Evaluation of the Bioequivalence of Dutasteride Capsule Manufactured at GSK Compared to Dutasteride Capsule Manufactured at Catalent in Healthy Japanese Male Subjects

This will be a single center, open-label, single dose, randomized and 2-way crossover study in healthy Japanese male subjects under fasting conditions. The study will be conducted to determine the bioequivalence between dutasteride capsules manufactured at GSK (test product) and dutasteride capsule manufactured at Catalent (reference product) in healthy Japanese male subjects. Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study treatment, two treatment periods separated by 28-days washout period, a re-visit 10-14 days after the second dose for the first follow-up and a second follow up via telephone 50-54 days after the second dose. The total duration of the study will be approximately 15 weeks from screening to the second follow up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dutasteride-Test product and Dutasteride-Reference product in people with Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Japan.

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 6 inclusion and 20 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 19 Jun 2018. 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 Japan. 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 plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC 0-t) of dutasteride test product and reference product (time frame: Pre-dose and at the following times post dose: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours) in each period.). 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 19 Jun 2018.
