About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Two-Period, Crossover Bioequivalence Study in Healthy Adult Subjects After Single Oral Dosing of a NCH-GSK Acetylcysteine 2% Oral Solution Versus a Reference Fluimucil® Acetylcysteine 2% Oral Solution

This is an open-label, randomized, single-center, 2-period, 2-sequence, single-dose crossover design study in adult male and female healthy participants. Eligible participants will receive either treatment A (reference): Fluimucil® Acetylcysteine 2% oral solution, 200 mg N- acetylcysteine (NAC) in 10 mL dose, or treatment B (test): Acetylcysteine 2% oral solution, 200 mg NAC in 10 mL dose. Blood sampling will be collected pre-dose and up to 48 hours in each period. After completion of the second study period (i.e. last pharmacokinetic (PK) sample on Day 3 of Period 2) participants will be discharged from the clinic.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve from time zero to last sampling time [AUC(0-last)]

    AUC(0-last) of acetylcysteine will be calculated using trapezoidal rule. Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and upto 48 hours post-dose of administration of the reference/test product in each period.

    Measured: 3 days

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax of acetylcysteine will be obtained graphically from the plasma concentration over time profile. Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and upto 48 hours post-dose of administration of the reference/test product in each period.

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Area under the curve from time zero to infinity [AUC(0-inf.)]

    AUC(0-inf.) of acetylcysteine will be calculated using trapezoidal rule. Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and upto 48 hours post-dose of administration of the reference/test product in each period.

    Measured: 3 days

  2. Time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax)

    Tmax of acetylcysteine will be obtained graphically from the plasma concentration over time profile. Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and upto 48 hours post-dose of administration of the reference/test product in each period.

    Measured: 3 days

  3. Termination rate constant (Lambda_z)

    Lambda_z will be computed as the slope of the regression line of ln (C(t)) on time.

    Measured: 3 days

  4. Residual Area (RA)

    RA will be calculated as percent extrapolated area (= (AUCinf - AUClast)/ AUCinf)*100%).

    Measured: 3 days

  5. Elimination half life (t1/2)

    T1/2 will be computed as T1/2 = 0.693/ λz

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fluimucil® 2% solution and Acetylcysteine 2% solution in people with Infections, Respiratory Tract, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 4 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 24 Jan 2019. 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 curve from time zero to last sampling time [AUC(0-last)] (time frame: 3 days). 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 24 Jan 2019.
