Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy female subjects and/or male subjects who, at the time of screening, are between the ages of 18 and 55 years, inclusive. Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, including blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or clinical laboratory tests. A 1:1 ratio of men to women is desirable, but it will not be considered a protocol deviation if this is not met.
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) of 17.5 to 30.5 kg/m2; and a total body weight >50 kg (110 lbs).
  • Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document.
  • Subjects who are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.

Who cannot join

  • Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at the time of dosing).
  • History of febrile illness within 5 days prior to the first dose of study investigational product.
  • Subjects with an estimated CLcr <60 mL/min derived using the method of Crockcroft and Gault.1
  • Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption.
  • A positive urine drug screen.
  • Use of tobacco or nicotine containing products in excess of the equivalent of 5 cigarettes per day.

  • History of regular alcohol consumption exceeding 7 drinks/week for females or 14 drinks/week for males (1 drink = 5 ounces [150 mL] of wine or 12 ounces [360 mL] of beer or 1.5 ounces [45 mL] of hard liquor) within 6 months of Screening.
  • Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half lives preceding the first dose of study investigational product (whichever is longer).
  • Screening supine blood pressure >= 140 mm Hg (systolic) or >= 90 mm Hg (diastolic), following at least 5 minutes of supine rest. If blood pressure is >= 140 mm Hg (systolic) or >= 90 mm Hg (diastolic), the blood pressure should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 blood pressure values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
  • Screening supine 12 lead ECG demonstrating QTc (time from ECG Q wave to the end of the T wave corresponding to electrical systole [QT] corrected for the heart rate) >450 msec or a QRS interval (time from ECG Q wave to the end of the S wave corresponding to ventricle depolarization) >120 msec. If QTc exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTc or QRS values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Open-label, Single-dose, 6-period Study To Investigate The Effect Of In Vitro Dissolution Rate On The In Vivo Bioavailability Of Extended Release Formulations Of Pregabalin In Healthy Volunteers

This study is a Phase 1, randomized, open label, single dose, 6 treatment, 6 period, 6 sequence study in healthy adult volunteers. A total of 24 (4 in each treatment sequence) healthy male and female subjects who, at the time of screening, are between the ages of 18 and 55 years, inclusive will be enrolled. Subjects who discontinue from the study may be replaced at the Sponsor's discretion. Screening activities will be completed within approximately 28 days prior to Day 1 of Period 1. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of the 6 treatment sequences as described in Table 1 below. Each treatment sequence will consist of 6 periods with subjects receiving single doses of pregabalin ER 330 mg target release rate tablet, pregabalin ER 330 mg slow release rate tablet, pregabalin ER 330 mg fast release rate tablet, pregabalin IR 300 mg capsule, pregabalin ER 82.5 mg target release rate tablet, and pregabalin ER 330 mg aberrant fast release rate tablet formulations. All study treatments will be administered following a 600- 750 calorie, 30% fat evening meal.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pregabalin ER in people with Healthy, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 19 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 20 Jan 2021. 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 States. 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?

Cmax from time zero to infinity (AUCinf), when data permits, otherwise AUC from time zero to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) of pregabalin ER 330 mg slow and fast release rate tablet formulations. (time frame: 10 week Study Duration). 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 20 Jan 2021.
