About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Non-randomized, Fixed Sequence Study Assessing the Pharmacokinetics of AZD7986 When Administered Alone and With Multiple Doses of Verapamil and Itraconazole or Diltiazem in Healthy Subjects

This is a phase 1, non-randomized, fixed sequence, 3-period, drug-drug interaction study to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD7986 in healthy subjects when administered alone and in combination with multiple doses of verapamil and itraconazole or diltiazem

Read the detailed description

This study will be an open-label, non-randomised, fixed sequence, 3-period study conducted at a single study centre to assess the PK of AZD7986 in healthy subjects when administered alone and in combination with multiple doses of verapamil and itraconazole or diltiazem. An adaptive design with an interim analysis of the PK data from Periods 1 and 2 will be used to determine which of itraconazole or diltiazem will be administered in combination with AZD7986 in Period 3.

Treatments to be administered in a fixed order separated by a washout period:

period 1 - single AZD7986 (25 mg) on Day 1 (1 hour before food), washout 7 days period 2 - verapamil (240 mg extended release formulation) daily 1 hour before food (Day 1 to 10) and a single dose of AZD7986 (25 mg) 1 hour before food (Day 5), washout period 14 days period 3 - subject to interim pharmacokinetic analysis of AZD7986 alone compared with AZD7986 and verapamil combined, either itraconazole (200 mg, oral solution formulation 10mg/mL) administered twice on Day 1 and daily on days 2 to 11 (1 hour before food) plus AZD7986 (25mg) single dose on Day 6 (1 hour before food); or diltiazem (360 mg, extended release formulation) on Days 1 to 13 (1 hour before food) plus AZD7986 (25 mg) 1 hour before food on Day 8.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD7986, Verapamil and Itraconazole in people with Healthy Subjects, 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 8 inclusion and 56 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 23 Feb 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 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 23 Feb 2018). 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?

Effect of Verapamil and the Effect of Itraconazole on the PK of AZD7986 by Assessment of the Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax). (time frame: Period 1,2&3: Day1 (AZD7986),Day5 (AZD7986+Verapamil) & Day6 (AZD7986): pre-dose,0.25,0.5,0.75,1,1.5,2,3,4,5,8,9,12,24,48,72,96,120 & 144 hours post-dose; Period 3: Day6 (Itraconazole): pre-dose,0.25,0.5,0.75,1,1.5,2,3,4,5,8,9,12 & 24 hours post-dose). The study lists 9 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 23 Feb 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
